Trading Rules
Each firm’s daily and maximum loss limits, as the firm sets them. Each firm’s profile says how its limits are measured.
| 2 firms | ||
|---|---|---|
| Daily loss limitAcross the firm's programs | None to 2.5% | None to $750 |
| Max loss limitAcross the firm's programs | 3% to 4% | $1,200 to $7,500 |
| Daily drawdown | 1 Step Prime: none in challenge or funded. Direct Account: 2.5% soft breach that pauses trading for the day. | No daily loss limit on Standard, No Activation Fee, Freedom 2.0 or Instant Funding accounts. Static Prime: $750 daily loss limit. |
| Max drawdown | End of day trailing (hard breach): 4% on 25K and 50K, 3% on 100K and 150K. Trails the highest end of day balance and locks at the starting balance once the account is up by the drawdown amount. Same in challenge and funded phases. | 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. |
| Minimum trading days | None to pass; funded payouts need at least 5 profitable days with a minimum net profit of $100 (25K), $150 (50K), $200 (100K) or $250 (150K). | 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). |
| Time limit | Unlimited; at least one trade must be closed every 7 days. The 1 Step Prime Challenge is billed in 30 day subscription periods until passed. | 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). |
| News trading | Allowed | 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. |
| Overnight and weekends | No overnight holding and no weekend holding. | 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. |
| EAs and copy trading | EAs and indicators not allowed on futures accounts (comparison table); rules page lists EAs as restricted. A stop loss is mandatory on every trade, and risk per trade idea is capped at 2% of initial balance on Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts (1% on DX Futures); exceeding it terminates the account. | 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. |
| Consistency rule | 1 Step Prime: 40% in the challenge, 35% on the funded account. Direct Account: 20%. | 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. |
