The Instant Funding is a product from Ylos Trading that provides immediate access to a Funded Account, without the need to pass through an evaluation phase, such as the Challenge Account. With Instant Funding, you start trading directly with capital funded by Ylos, subject to the Funded Account rules, with some exclusive modifications that offer greater flexibility for withdrawals.
1. What is the difference between the Instant Funding and the traditional Funded Account?
The key difference of the Instant Funding is that it eliminates the need for a testing phase (like the Challenge Account), allowing you to start trading immediately in a Funded Account. Additionally, it has adjusted rules to facilitate withdrawals, including:
- Reduction of the minimum trading days from 10 to 5.
- Reduction of the minimum winning days from 7 to 5.
- Increase in the minimum daily profit to be considered a winning day, from $50.00 to $200.00.
- Reduction of the consistency rule from 40% to 30%, allowing a single day to account for up to 30% of the account’s total profit.
These changes make Instant Funding a more accessible option for experienced traders who want to trade with funded capital without undergoing an evaluation process.
2. What are the rules of the Instant Funding?
The rules of the Instant Funding are the same as those of the traditional Master Funded Account, with the following exceptions:
- Trading Days: To request a withdrawal, you must trade for at least 5 days (instead of 10).
- Winning Days: Minimum of 5 winning days. A winning day is defined as one with a net profit of at least $200.00 (instead of $50.00).
- Consistency Rule: No single day can account for more than 30% of the account’s total profit (instead of 40%). This rule resets after each withdrawal request.
- Inactivity: You cannot go more than 30 days without trading, under penalty of account cancellation.
- Positioning During News: It is not permitted to hold open positions during news releases, but you can trade after the announcement, respecting other risk rules.
- Averaging Down Strategy: Up to 3 averages per operation are allowed, regardless of partial exits.
- Drawdown: The drawdown is trailing, adjusted in real-time, until you achieve a profit equivalent to the drawdown value plus $100.00, when it becomes static.
- Brokerage Fees: There is a brokerage fee charged on operations ($0.52 per micro contract and $1.55 per mini contract).
Other rules, such as the limit of 20 accounts per user, risk versus reward rules, prohibition of hedging, flipping, and “all-in” strategies, remain the same as those of the Master Funded Account. Consult the complete rules on the official Ylos Trading website (ylostrading.com).
3. How much does the Instant Funding cost?
The cost of the Instant Funding varies depending on the account size chosen (25K, 50K, 100K, 150K, 250K, or 300K). Consult the pricing table on the official Ylos Trading website (ylostrading.com) for updated values.
4. What are the requirements for requesting a withdrawal in the Instant Funding?
To request a withdrawal in the Instant Funding, you must meet the following criteria:
- Trade for at least 5 days, with at least 5 winning days, each generating a net profit of at least $200.00.
- Maintain the account balance above the drawdown value plus $100.00 (e.g., $52,600 for a 50K account).
- Ensure that no single day accounts for more than 30% of the account’s total profit, as per the consistency rule.
Withdrawals follow the same conditions as the Master Funded Account: a minimum of $500, initial limits for the first 4 withdrawals (e.g., $2,000 for a 50K account), 100% of the first $15,000 in profit, and 90% of subsequent profits, with processing within 3 business days for confirmation and 5 business days for payment.
5. Can I use the Official Ylos Order Replicator with the Instant Funding?
Yes, you can use the Official Ylos Order Replicator with the Instant Funding, as permitted for all Ylos Trading accounts. However, other order replicators and any type of trading automation, such as bots or algorithms, are prohibited to ensure the integrity of the trader’s operations.
