HyroTrader
Everything below is read from HyroTrader's own rules page and dated. What it costs and what it pays are on their site; what the rules mean at your risk per trade is not, and that is what this page adds.
The funded account is simulated
HyroTrader's own materials describe the capital as simulated. You are paid a share of notional profit under a contract rather than trading a funded brokerage account. That is what the product is — worth knowing before you price the fee against it, not after.

One attempt. Multiply by the attempts you expect — the calculator does it , netting out the refunded one.
- · The 4% daily limit trails: "The standard daily drawdown is trailing, as it is calculated from the highest equity point reached during the day, including unrealized P&L." The firm’s own example fails a $5,000 account that peaked at $5,200 and fell back to $5,000 — level on the day, and out.
- · A paid Swing upgrade replaces the trailing daily limit with one fixed at the day’s opening equity.
- · Evaluation only: no single day may contribute more than 40% of the total net result; the excess does not count toward the target.
- · A day counts toward the five only if a trade of at least 5% of the balance is closed and its result is at least 1% of the trade value.
- · The published rules page states no time limit; the general terms state 30 calendar days for the Challenge and 60 for Verification. The firm has not reconciled them.

One attempt. Multiply by the attempts you expect — the calculator does it , netting out the refunded one.

Questions
- What are HyroTrader's challenge rules?
- As published on the firm's own pages, read 2026-08-06: One-Step Challenge: 10% target, 4% daily limit, 6% overall (static); Two-Step Challenge: 10% + 5% target, 5% daily limit, 10% overall (static). What these mean at your own risk per trade — how many consecutive losing trades each cap allows — is computed in the tables on this page.
- Does HyroTrader refund the challenge fee?
- One-Step Challenge: yes; Two-Step Challenge: yes. Where a refund exists, when it actually arrives is recorded in the rules above — several firms pay it with a later reward rather than on passing.
- Is HyroTrader's funded account real money?
- HyroTrader's own materials describe the capital as simulated. You are paid a share of notional profit under a contract rather than trading a funded brokerage account — the source and the date we read it are cited on this page.
What is not on this page
A pass rate. Nobody publishes one, and the percentages in circulation come from firms selling challenges or affiliates earning on sign-ups. A number with that provenance would make this page look more authoritative and be worth less.
Fees are shown as displayed on the date read, and prop firms discount often — treat the figure as a snapshot and check the firm's own page before paying. What this page adds is the part that page does not tell you: what the rules mean at the risk you actually trade, and what the attempt costs once you stop assuming you pass first time. Run them against your own numbers.
Before you buy an attempt
Work out how many consecutive losers the drawdown allows at your risk per trade, and multiply the fee by the number of attempts you honestly expect. Both take a minute and both change the decision.
