HyroTrader — Firm Details

About Company

HyroTrader is a prop trading platform that provides access to trading capital through a selection model that assesses trader skill. The user goes through a structured challenge where strategy performance and adherence to risk limits (drawdown, loss limits, exposure control) are tested. After qualification, the trader gets access to a funded account and trades within the specified risk management parameters with a profit split. Only USDT perpetual futures are traded. The company uses a monetization model through payment for evaluation stages and a share of profits from funded traders, generating income both from entry tests and from successful client trading.

Official trading rules and prohibited practices

Trading Rules

Evaluation Formats
Three formats to choose from, all with an unlimited trading period: Zero-step, One-step, and Two-step. Zero-step - one phase: target 10%, daily drawdown 3%, maximum loss 5%, minimum 1 trading day; on the funded account the same limits apply, profit split is fixed at 80%, the deposit is non-refundable.

One-step - one phase. Profit target 10%, daily drawdown 4%, maximum loss 6%, minimum 5 trading days. After passing - a funded account with the same limits: daily drawdown 4%, maximum loss 6%.

Two-step - challenge and verification. Phase 1: target 10%. Phase 2: target 5%. In both phases daily drawdown is 5%, maximum loss 10%, minimum 5 trading days in each - 10 days in total. The verification phase is free. On the funded account 5% and 10% are retained.
Account sizes: $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, $200,000 (Zero-step - up to $100,000).

Profit Target

Only realized profit on closed trades counts toward the target. There is no time limit: the target can be completed for as long as needed, the evaluation does not expire.

Minimum Trading Days

You must trade a minimum of 5 separate days in the current cycle, opening at least one position on each of them. A day counts by the trade's closing date, regardless of holding duration.

For a day to count, the trade must meet two conditions:

trade volume - at least 5% of the account's initial balance;

trade PnL - at least ±1% of its volume.
Example of a non-counted day: a $100,000 account, a $12,000 trade, profit $80 - that is 0.66% of the volume, the minimum is $120, the day does not count. At the same time, the profit earned still counts toward the profit target.

Even if the target is met faster, the minimum trading days must still be completed.

Stop-Loss

There is no mandatory stop-loss. Using stop-losses is recommended but is not a condition for passing.

Daily Drawdown

The limit cannot be exceeded within a single trading day. Reset - at 00:00 UTC. Floating losses, floating profit, and commissions are included in the calculation; the system recalculates the drawdown multiple times during the day.

Drawdown is static only: threshold = equity at 00:00 UTC − (initial balance × drawdown percentage), it does not change within the day. There is no trailing drawdown.

Paid Swing upgrade and drawdown type selection are no longer available.
Examples on a $5,000 account: Two-step, limit 5% ($250), start-of-day equity $4,900, threshold $4,650. One-step, limit 4% ($200), start-of-day equity $4,900, threshold $4,700.

Maximum Loss

Zero-step - 5%, One-step - 6%, Two-step - 10%. The limit is calculated on equity and includes both realized and unrealized results. The rule applies both during the evaluation and on the funded account.

Maximum Loss per Trade

The realized loss on any single position must not exceed 3% of the account's initial balance. Closing a position with a larger loss is considered a rule violation. The rule is checked manually, not by an automated system: if in doubt, contact support.

Profit Distribution Rule - 40%

No more than 40% of the target counts toward the profit target from a single trading day (One-step and Two-step). In Zero-step, no more than 50% of the target counts from a single trade. The rule applies only during evaluation phases - it does not apply on the funded account.

Example: target $500 on a $5,000 account, daily results +$320, +$100, +$40, +$22, +$18. The maximum allowable contribution from a single day is $200. Of the $320 from the first day, only $200 will count; the remaining $120 is not counted.

Limits on the Funded Account

Maximum exposure - total margin on open positions no more than 25% of the initial balance. For a $10,000 account this is $2,500.
Total notional value of open positions - no more than 2× the initial balance. For a $10,000 account this is $20,000.
Both limits apply only after passing the evaluation; they do not apply during the evaluation. Exceeding them may lead to penalties or account closure. Daily drawdown and maximum loss continue to apply on the funded stage unchanged.

Low-Liquidity Altcoins

An asset is considered low-liquidity if its market cap is below $100 million, its daily volume is in the range of $500 thousand - $5 million, or it is listed in the Innovation Zone as a recently listed asset.

Total exposure across all such assets - no more than 5% of the initial balance including leverage, at any point in time. Consequences of violation: transfer to a new challenge, as well as only 40% of the profit from trades in low-liquidity assets counting toward the profit target.

Automation and API

Trading bots connected via API are allowed - your own, custom, and third-party. The trader can generate an API key themselves and connect it to their trading setup.

Copy trading, trade mirroring, and external signal providers are prohibited, as are high-frequency trading and any strategies aimed at exploiting or manipulating the platform's infrastructure, execution, pricing, latency, and risk management mechanisms.

Prohibited Actions

Trading the EUR/USD pair, USDC pairs, and options.
Spot trading in a futures challenge and combining spot with margin trading on the same account.
Requesting additional demo funds and changing the USDT balance.
Deleting or modifying the API key.
Martingale strategy - doubling the bet after a losing trade.
Hedging between two or more accounts. Hedging on a single Bybit account is allowed.

Inactivity

If the last trading day is older than 30 days, the account is disabled. A trading day is considered the day a trade is closed, not opened.

Rule Violations

If trading objectives are violated, the account is immediately annulled and excluded from the evaluation process. If a violation occurs on an active account, the agreement is terminated. You can start over by purchasing a new challenge; there are no discounts for repeat attempts.

Accounts undergo regular manual reviews for signs of gambling and an "all-or-nothing" approach. In cases of extremely high risk, the platform may issue a warning, remove profit from the account, adjust the payout, temporarily lower the profit split, reject a withdrawal request, or fully close the account.

Scaling

Total allocation per trader - up to $400,000 across challenges and verifications and no more than $200,000 across funded accounts. Multiple challenges can be run, but exceeding the limit leads to disqualification in the verification phase or closure of funded accounts.

Scaling - up to $200,000, manual only, at HyroTrader's discretion; there is no automatic ladder. There is no real-capital stage: all accounts are simulated (demo).

To be considered for an account increase, a total profit of at least 20% of the initial balance (including already paid out) and a positive balance are required; the decision and the increase amount remain at the company's discretion.

Who Can Participate

Age - 18 and older, no special qualifications or education required. There is a list of prohibited countries (section 12.1 of the terms), including Russia and Belarus, as well as regions of Ukraine: Crimea, Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts.

Traders working through Bybit are required to use their own Bybit account and comply with the exchange's own rules: trading on Bybit from countries restricted by its terms is not permitted. If Bybit is unavailable in the trader's country, the Hyro platform must be chosen. Tealstreet and Tiger terminals are unavailable to traders from the US and countries where Bybit is restricted; VPN use is not allowed.

Participation is paid in cryptocurrency or by credit card; the preferred method is crypto. BTC, ETH, USDC, DOGE, LTC, DAI, BCH, APE, SHIB are accepted, as well as transfers on the Polygon network - MATIC, USDC, ETH.

Challenges

Terms, schedule and withdrawal methods

Payout policy

Profit split
All traders start with 80% of the profit in their favor. In One-step and Two-step the share can be increased up to 90% at HyroTrader's discretion as they scale; there is no automatic ladder. In Zero-step the split is fixed at 80%.

When the first payout is available

A payout request can be submitted on the same day the first trade is executed on the account. There is no need to wait for a separate billing period.

Minimum amount

To request a payout, you must earn at least $100 in profit after distribution between the trader and the company.

Maximum amount of a single payout The maximum of a single payout is 5%. Profit must be withdrawn upon reaching this threshold: if the trader does not submit a request and profit exceeds 5%, the excess is not paid.

The payout is calculated from the account's initial balance: if at the time of the request equity is not above the initial balance, there is no payout, the loss is carried over, and a payout is possible only after equity again exceeds the initial balance. After a payout, the account balance is reset to the initial balance.

Processing time

Requests are processed within 12-24 hours, the typical time is less than 12 hours.

Currency and fees

Payouts are made in USDT or USDC stablecoins. No withdrawal fee is charged.

Challenge deposit refund

The refundable challenge deposit is returned in a separate crypto transaction together with the first profit split payout. In Zero-step the deposit is not refunded.

Real capital

After passing the evaluation, the trader receives a simulated funded account, from which payouts are available starting from $100 in profit. There is no real-capital stage: challenges and funded accounts are simulated (demo).

Conditions under which a payout is possible A payout is made only with full compliance with the risk rules: daily drawdown, maximum loss, per-trade loss limit, exposure limits and the other trading conditions. If rules are violated, the company may reject or delay the payout.

At the time of the payout request, all positions must be closed and remain closed until the payout; unrealized profit is not taken into account.

If the account is failed but remains in profit

If the loss limit is violated, the funded account is closed and the agreement is terminated automatically. On the first violation of the daily limit, the company may, at its discretion, pay out the reward earned before the violation if the violation is deemed an honest trading error. The payout is requested from the active account.

Results of the manual review

Following a regular review of the account for excessive risk, the platform may remove profit, adjust the payout amount, temporarily lower the profit split or reject a withdrawal request.

Bonus accounts

Accounts obtained not by purchase but through participation in contests, giveaways and referral programs have a profit split of 10% or 80% - it is fixed when the account is issued. Only one payout is allowed on such accounts, after which the account is closed.
