Lunar New Year 2026

Lunar New Year, also widely celebrated as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival, marks the new year in the lunisolar calendar observed across much of East and Southeast Asia. As one of the region's most significant holidays, its prop firm expression carries a distinct APAC emphasis — a January or February flash where firms with a strong APAC trader base often make their most deliberate early-year discounts. This tag gathers every Lunar New Year prop firm deal and discount.

The APAC Counterpart to the January Prop Firm Deal Window

Lunar New Year falls between January 21 and February 20 each year, placing it alongside the broader New Year period but with a distinct regional skew. Global firms often make their most deliberate early-year prop firm discount on January 1; APAC-focused firms often make theirs on Lunar New Year two to four weeks later.

That split is the key insight for this tag: the best early-year prop firm deal depends on the firm's audience, not just the calendar.

- For a firm whose trader base is heavily APAC, Lunar New Year can be the more deliberate and inclusive discount of the early year.
- For a firm whose audience is global, the January New Year period is often the broader prop firm deal, with Lunar New Year as a secondary or complementary discount.

Checking both tags for the same firm is the only way to know which window that firm treated as primary in a given year.

What Is Distinct About Lunar New Year Prop Firm Deals

Because the holiday is deeply cultural, Lunar New Year prop firm deal posts more often emphasise renewal, prosperity and new beginnings than the resolution language of January 1. Firms that mark the holiday sometimes frame their discounts around those themes with inclusive language and extended eligibility, which can affect which programmes are included.

The date also moves each year, so a prop firm deal from one year that was valid in mid-February may be valid in late January the next. Rely on the deal post's own validity for the current year rather than anchoring on a fixed February date.

Two practical patterns recur:

- Programme inclusivity. Lunar New Year prop firm deal posts sometimes cover a broader set of programmes than the same firm's January discounts, reflecting the holiday's emphasis on inclusive celebration.
- Volume or account-count notes. Some Lunar New Year prop firm deals mention account-count flexibility alongside any discount. Reading the post for those structural details, not just any headline, is the right way to compare.

We verify in the Lunar New Year window and keep the tag current as the date shifts. Outside that window the tag is a useful reference for which firms historically marked the holiday with prop firm deals and how they framed them.
