Ylos Trading rules by account size (25K-300K): Standard, No Activation Fee, Freedom 2.0 and Instant Funding profit target, drawdown, payouts and price

Every rule and price is copied from Ylos Trading's own site (the plan cards on ylostrading.com, read for every size tab) and its help center at help.ylostrading.com, read on 20 October 2026. The cards are drawn from the page's own plan data; we checked that every card figure matches it. Ylos's site lists an address in Hoboken, NJ, and its default language is Portuguese; you trade on BlackArrow Pro, the only platform Ylos authorizes. The help center also describes a Static Prime account, a Freedom account article with different figures and a 250K size that are not on the plan cards; this guide covers only the plans on the cards.

What this means for you: Every figure is from Ylos's own plan cards and help center on the check date.

Standard: reach the profit target before the loss limit, then pay the activation fee and upgrade to a Funded account. No Activation Fee: the same challenge, and Ylos says its rules are identical to the Standard account, but you pay no activation fee when you pass ('No fee' on the card). Both come in 25K, 50K, 100K, 150K and 300K with the same profit target ($1,500, $3,000, $6,000, $9,000, $20,000), Total loss ($1,500, $2,500, $3,000, $5,000, $7,500) and contracts (4, 10, 14, 17 and 35 minis). Freedom 2.0 (25K and 50K) has a smaller loss limit and its own funded rules. Instant Funding skips the evaluation: you start directly on the funded account.

What this means for you: Standard and No Activation Fee share the same challenge; only the fee differs.

In the challenge the drawdown is EOD: drawdown EOD (a balance below the limit at any time blocks the account); the drawdown is adjusted at the end of the day. On 50K the card shows $2,500 Total loss. In the funded phase the drawdown is trailed in real time (tick by tick) until your profit reaches the drawdown plus US$100, then it becomes permanently static. Ylos's own 50K example: the limit starts at $47,500, follows your peak balance, and locks at $50,100 once profit reaches $2,600. An optional EOD Drawdown add-on switches the account's drawdown to the EOD model.

What this means for you: EOD in the challenge; tick-by-tick trailing once funded until it locks at the drawdown plus US$100.

There is no monthly fee: no renewals or monthly charges; you pass at your own pace but must trade the account. List prices (one-time) on the cards are $150, $180, $230, $320 and $667 for Standard (25K to 300K), $222.50, $247.50, $372.50, $497.50 and $747.50 for No Activation Fee, and $331.66, $581.66, $831.66, $998.33 and $1,665 for Instant Funding. The Standard activation fee shown for today was $59, $59, $89, $99 and $249 (50K: $59 when you pass (card value on the check date), as shown on 20 Oct 2026); Ylos says the activation cost varies with the current offer and the day you activate, and you must activate within 7 days of passing. On 20 October 2026 every card also showed a lower price 'using coupon YLOSBLACK' (50K: Standard $36, No Activation Fee $99, Freedom 2.0 $129, Instant Funding $349); the cards give no terms or end date for it, so our comparisons use the list prices.

What this means for you: One-time prices, no monthly fee: $180 + $59 activation on 50K Standard, $247.50 on No Activation Fee.

Consistency: none in the challenge: consistency rules are exclusive to the funded phase. You pass at your own pace with no renewal, but you must trade at least once every 7 days (a trade that moves your closed result by at least $100, up or down) to keep the account. Minimum of 1 day to complete the challenge (No Activation Fee rules, which Ylos says are identical to the Standard account); trade at least once every 7 days to keep the account active. You may be positioned during news releases in the challenge. Contracts: 10 minis (up to 100 micro contracts) on 50K, 4 minis (40 micros) on 25K, 14 on 100K, 17 on 150K and 35 on 300K, per account across all assets. No daily loss limit is listed: none listed: the Challenge and Funded rules list no daily loss limit (the plan card shows profit target, drawdown, total loss and contracts).

What this means for you: No consistency rule and no daily loss limit listed in the challenge; trade once every 7 days.

Payouts: at least 10 trading days, with $50 net profit for a winning day, and a balance above the $52,600 buffer (drawdown + $100); $500 minimum and $2,000 maximum per withdrawal (first 4 withdrawals, first 60 days). Buffers by size are $26,600, $52,600, $103,100, $155,100 and $307,600, and the first 4 withdrawals are capped at $1,500, $2,000, $2,500, $2,750 and $3,500. Ylos's help articles say 7 of the 10 days must be winning days of $50 or more, while the plan card labels all 10 as profitable days; check your dashboard. Compliance reviews a request within 1 business day, then payment reaches your Wallet within 24 to 48 business hours. Split: 100% of the first $15,000 of profit (total across all your accounts); 90% from $15,000 to $30,000. Above $30,000 Ylos's own pages give different splits, so we leave that out. Consistency in the funded phase: 40% Balance Consistency in the funded phase, reset after each approved withdrawal and lowered to 30% after $30,000 and 20% after $50,000 in total payouts across all accounts; a loss on a single trade can't exceed 5 times the median of your winning trades; and extreme changes in contract size break contract consistency. News: in funded accounts positions must be closed before news releases (trading after the release is allowed). You can hold up to 20 active accounts.

What this means for you: 10 trading days, $52,600 buffer on 50K, up to $2,000 per withdrawal; 100% of the first $15,000.

Freedom 2.0 25K: $1,500 target, $1,200 loss limit, 2 minis (20 micros), $296.66 list. Freedom 2.0 50K: $3,000 target, $2,000 loss limit, 5 minis (50 micros), $430 list. No activation fee. In the challenge you trade for at least 5 days with a minimum profit of $50 a day and no single day reaching 40% of the target. The drawdown is EOD in both phases and never becomes static. Funded: one withdrawal per day once the balance is above the buffer (only the balance above it can be withdrawn), minimum $250, maximum $1,000 on 25K and $1,500 on 50K, with at least $100 (25K) or $150 (50K) of profit between requests. Up to 3 Freedom 2.0 accounts per user and 5 resets per account.

What this means for you: Smaller loss limit, EOD drawdown that never locks, daily withdrawals after the buffer.

Instant Funding skips the evaluation; the card lists a One Time Fee (the list prices above). The drawdown is trailed in real time, contracts match the Standard sizes, and consistency is 30%. Withdrawals need at least 5 trading days with at least $200 net profit a day and the same buffer as other funded accounts ($52,600 on 50K). An Instant Funding account can be reset up to 5 times.

What this means for you: No evaluation; 30% consistency and 5 trading days of $200+ before a withdrawal.

Day trading only: close all positions at least 30 minutes before the market close, by 3:30 PM CT (4:30 PM ET) (Chicago time) on regular days; a position left open blocks the account. Bots: no type of automation is allowed for any account or stage, except Ylos's Order Replicator. Copy trading: allowed only with the official Ylos Order Replicator (contracted in the Ylos panel, replicates your main account to your linked follower accounts); copy trading of external signals is prohibited. Also prohibited: microscalping (trades held 30 seconds or less) in most trades, hedging between accounts, flipping, martingale, and news bracketing.

What this means for you: Flat 30 minutes before the close; no automation except the Order Replicator; BlackArrow Pro only.
