What are the consistency rules at Ylos Trading?

Consistency is a central pillar for the success and sustainability of operations at Ylos Trading. Our guidelines are designed to promote a disciplined, safe, and profitable long-term practice. Below are the main consistency rules that guide our evaluations:

Minimum Trading Days and Winning Days: The minimum trading days requirement and the number of winning days (generally defined as days with a net profit of at least $50.00) vary depending on the type of account you have.

The goal of this metric is to ensure that you are actively involved in the market and building results on a recurring basis, rather than relying on isolated lucky moves.

Balance Consistency (Daily Profit Limit): To encourage prudent risk management and prevent you from concentrating all your results in a single operation, we limit the representativeness of a single day in your total profit.

This percentage varies according to your account — for example, the Freedom account has a balance consistency rule of 30%. This rule is recalculated and reset after each withdrawal request.

Consistency in Contract Usage: You have complete freedom to adjust your lot sizes and adapt to market conditions. However, the system monitors the average financial volume of your trades (applicable exclusively in the Funded phase). Abrupt, unjustified changes or those that drastically deviate from your normal range—such as trading significantly above or below your usual pattern—are considered consistency breaches.

Risk vs. Return (Median Rule): To balance risk with potential return, the maximum acceptable financial loss in a single trade should not exceed 5 times the median of your winning trades. This prevents a single poorly planned trade from compromising the profit of several successful trades.

Trading During News: Guidelines for trading during economic events vary depending on your account stage. Challenge accounts allow you to be positioned during news releases.

Funded accounts, however, are prohibited from being positioned at the exact moment of the announcement; positions must be closed before the event and can be reopened immediately after the announcement to allow you to react to the new market volatility.

Inactivity: To ensure continuous and consistent engagement with the market, you cannot go more than 30 days without trading, otherwise your account will be canceled.
