DayTraders.com vs YLOS Trading

EOD plans have a daily loss limit ($800 on 25K, $1,250 on 50K, $2,000 on 150K, $3,250 on 300K). Trail and Static plans have no daily loss limit. Straight to Funded: none on 25K, $1,250 on 50K, $3,750 on 150K. Straight to Live: $1,000 to $3,250.

Chosen at purchase and fixed for the life of the account: intraday trailing (Trail plans, follows the highest live balance including open profit), end of day trailing (EOD plans, updates after the session closes) or static (never moves). In evaluations the trailing threshold stops at the profit target; on Pro accounts it stops at the initial balance. Straight to Funded uses end of day drawdown; Straight to Live uses intraday trailing.

Evaluation (Standard, No Activation Fee, Freedom): end of day, but the account is blocked immediately if the balance falls below the limit intraday. Funded: real time (tick by tick) trailing until profit equals the drawdown plus $100, then static. Freedom 2.0 funded: end of day, never becomes static. Static Prime: static $1,500 drawdown. EOD Drawdown add on available.

2 qualifying days to pass an evaluation (8 for Straight to Live). A qualifying day must meet the minimum daily profit: $100 (25K), $200 (50K and 75K), $300 (100K, 150K, 250K), $400 (300K).

Standard and No Activation Fee evaluation: minimum 1 day. Freedom 2.0 evaluation: at least 5 days with $50 profit a day. Funded payouts: 10 trading days with 7 winning days of $50 or more (Standard, No Activation Fee); 5 days with $200 net profit a day (Instant Funding).

None. Activity requirement: one time (lifetime) accounts need 4 qualifying days in each rolling 30 day cycle; monthly accounts need 1.

None; one time fee with no renewals. Accounts must record activity at least once every 7 days (a closed result of at least $100 positive or negative).

Allowed in the evaluation. Funded accounts must not be positioned at the time of news releases (may trade immediately after). Freedom 2.0 funded and the Freedom Rules add on remove this restriction. Bracketing news with pending orders on both sides is prohibited.

Intraday only. All positions must be closed at least 30 minutes before the close (3:30 pm Chicago time on normal days); holding past the close blocks the account and zeroes the balance. No overnight or swing trading.

Automated high frequency trading is prohibited on all accounts. Hedging (including long in one account and short in another) is prohibited, and the help centre lists a no martingale rule. Dollar cost averaging is permitted.

No automation of any kind except the official Ylos Order Replicator. Copying external signals, copiers between different accounts, third party EAs, martingale, grid, hedging and microscalping (trades of 30 seconds or less in most trades) are prohibited.

Funded Standard and No Activation Fee: no day above 40% of net profit in the period (resets after each withdrawal), plus a median rule (largest loss no more than 5 times the median winning trade) and contract size consistency. Instant Funding: 30%. Freedom 2.0: evaluation requires no single day to reach 40% of the target; no funded consistency, median or contract consistency rules.

Straight to Funded: after 10 qualifying days and a per cycle profit target ($2,000, $3,500 or $10,000 for the first payout on 25K, 50K and 150K, falling for later cycles); maximum $1,000 to $3,000 per request. Live: once the trailing drawdown has locked at the starting balance (when the peak reaches the starting balance plus the drawdown); profit above a $1,000 buffer over the starting balance can be withdrawn.
