02 · Meta ads for prop firms
Meta restricts trading-related ads. We write and design to its financial and scam rules, track every ad to the challenge it sold, and decide each week what to stop and what to scale.

The study
In November 2026 we pulled the most-seen ads of 18 prop firms from Meta's Ad Library, live and past, and ranked them by what each firm kept paying for.
18
prop firms, 37 brand pages
Meta shows no spend or results for other firms' ads. Losing ads are usually switched off within days, so what a firm keeps running is the best signal of what sells.

Meta's rules
As of 10 November 2026
None of Meta's policies names “prop firm”, “challenge” or “simulated”. Reviewers read trading words as financial promotion, so we write to the financial and scam rules.
Why it mattersIn April and May 2026 the trade press reported several prop firms losing Meta ad accounts, Instagram profiles and Facebook pages.
TradeInformer, 5 June 2026Quoted from Meta's Advertising Standards: financial services (archived 2 Nov 2026, changed 26 and 29 Oct 2026) and Community Standards: prohibited commercial practices (changed 29 Oct 2026). Meta updates these pages; the live versions win.
Questions
We can look at why: the ads, the landing page and the account's history, and show you which of Meta's rules they touch. Whether an account comes back is Meta's decision, so we won't promise that. What we can do is make sure every new ad and page fits the rules before it runs.
We'll talk about accounts on the call: whose account the ads run in, who owns it and who has access. We put that in writing before anything runs.
No one can. We write to Meta's rules and keep every claim to what your terms say, and when an ad is rejected we know which rule it touched and what to change.
Yes: statics, reels and briefs for creators, written from your rules and your offer. You approve every ad before it runs.
Meta's rules for investment ads aimed at the US are stricter than elsewhere (see the table above). We look at your offer, your terms and your markets before we pick countries.
Every week: challenges sold, cost per challenge sold and spend, ad by ad. Clicks and likes are in there too, but decisions are made on sales.
