What are the rules for a Standard account at Ylos Trading?

Ylos challenge accounts of any type no longer involve renewals or monthly charges, and the rules for Standard accounts are:


In the challenge phase (before activation)

Trading Days: To keep your account active, you must register operational activity at least once every 7 consecutive days. For compliance purposes, Ylos Trading does not consider "opening and closing a trade immediately" as valid activity. Effective trades resulting in a minimum financial fluctuation of $100 positive or $100 negative in the closed result of operations are required.

Positioning During News: It is permitted to be positioned during news releases;

Drawdown: The drawdown in the Standard account is adjusted at the end of the day (EOD), which means that the drawdown value is only officially recorded and adjusted at the end of the trading day. However, if at any time during the day the account balance falls below the permitted drawdown value, the account will be immediately blocked.


In the Funded phase (post-activation)

Trading Days and Winning Days: To be eligible to request a withdrawal, you need to trade for at least 10 days. Within this period, at least 7 days must be winning days (a winning day is one that ends with a net profit of at least $50.00);

Account Limit: Each user can have a maximum of 20 active accounts simultaneously;

News Trading: In the Funded account, it is strictly forbidden to be positioned at the time of news releases. You must close your positions before the event, but you have complete freedom to resume trading immediately after the announcement, respecting your risk management;

Drawdown Trailing: Unlike the Challenge phase, here the drawdown is adjusted in real time (tick by tick). This "trailing" of your loss limit continues until you accumulate a profit equivalent to the value of your account's drawdown plus US$100. Upon reaching this mark, the drawdown becomes permanently static;

Brokerage Fees: There is a normal brokerage fee charged on trades executed in the market.


Consistency Rules (Exclusive to the Funded Phase)

To ensure that your profits are the result of strategy and not chance, we apply the following consistency rules when evaluating your withdrawal:


Balance Consistency (40% Rule): To prevent you from depending on a single lucky day, no single trading day can represent more than 40% of your total net profit in the analyzed period. This count is reset after each approved withdrawal;

Risk vs. Return (Median Rule): Your exposure to losses must be controlled. The maximum financial loss in a single trade cannot exceed 5 times the median of your winning trades;

Contract Consistency: The system monitors the average financial volume you usually trade. You can (and should) adjust lots according to the market, but extreme and unjustified changes — such as engaging in "all-in" tactics or reducing your position to drastic limits just to match trading days — are considered breaches of your consistency pattern.
