HyroTrader rules explained
The rules that most often end evaluations, verified at the source.
What this means for you
Crypto tests start at $59 (Two-Step). Make 10% (plus 5% on Two-Step) while keeping daily losses within 3 to 5% and total losses within 5 to 10%, depending on the plan. There's no deadline, but the account closes after 30 days without trading. You keep 80% (up to 90% on One- and Two-Step), paid on demand.
Built only from rules we verified at the source. Most people who buy a test don't pass (see why).
Profit target
Profit you need to pass.
10% (1-Step, Zero-Step); 10% + 5% (2-Step) ✓ Verified Standard on some plans
What's this?
How much profit you must make to pass a test phase. On a $100k account a 10% target means reaching $110,000. Glossary →
Daily loss limit
Lose more than this in one day and you fail.
3% Zero-Step, 4% One-Step, 5% Two-Step ✓ Verified Strict on some plans
What's this?
The most you may lose in one trading day. With a 5% limit on $100k, dropping $5,000 in a single day fails the test, even if you're up overall. Glossary →
Max drawdown
Total loss floor. Break it once and the account ends.
5% / 6% / 10% by challenge ✓ Verified
What's this?
The total loss floor. Break it once and the account is gone. On $100k: STATIC 10% → floor stays $90,000 forever. END-OF-DAY trailing $3k → floor $97k; close a day at $102k → floor moves to $99k (intraday swings ignored). INTRADAY trailing $3k → an open trade up $2k lifts the floor to $99k immediately; if it falls back to break-even you're $1k from failing. Glossary →
Consistency rule
Caps how much profit can come from one day.
Not verified
What's this?
Limits how much of your total profit can come from one day. With 40%: if you've made $5,000, your best day can be at most $2,000. Stops 'one lucky day' passes. Glossary →
Minimum trading days
Fewest trading days before you can pass/get paid.
1 day / 5 days / 5+5 days ✓ Verified Strict on some plans
What's this?
The fewest days you must place trades before you can pass or get paid, even if you hit the target on day one. Glossary →
Time limit
How long you have to pass.
Unlimited; account closes after 30 days without trading ✓ Verified Easy
What's this?
How long you have to hit the target. 'Unlimited' means no deadline (some firms still require a trade every 30 to 60 days). Glossary →
News trading
Can you trade big news events?
Not verified
What's this?
Whether you can trade around big scheduled announcements (e.g. US jobs data, Fed decisions). Some firms ban trades a few minutes before/after. Glossary →
EAs / bots
Are trading bots allowed?
Not verified
What's this?
Expert Advisors: automated trading programs. Some firms allow them, some ban them or certain types (e.g. copy-trading, HFT). Glossary →
