## How TradersYard challenges work

A TradersYard challenge is a paid evaluation phase where you trade simulated capital under TradersYard's rules — profit targets, daily drawdown, max drawdown, and time limits. Pass the evaluation and you're moved to a funded account where you trade TradersYard's actual capital and keep a percentage of profits as your payout. Most challenge fees are refunded with your first successful payout.

TradersYard's evaluation structure (1-step, 2-step, or instant-funding) depends on which program you pick. Each challenge card above shows the exact steps, the profit target per phase, the time limit (if any), the daily and overall drawdown limits, and the profit split you'll earn once funded. We pull these values directly from TradersYard's official rulebook and keep them up to date.

Industry-wide pass rates on prop firm challenges sit around 10%. The traders who pass most consistently treat the challenge as a paid stress test of an already-profitable strategy — not as a way to learn one. If you're newer to trading, the TradersYard matcher tool can help you find a challenge with rules that fit your style before paying for the evaluation.

## Frequently Asked Questions about TradersYard Challenges

A TradersYard challenge is the paid evaluation phase where you prove you can hit a profit target without breaching drawdown rules. Once you pass, you're funded — you trade TradersYard's actual capital and keep a percentage of profits as your payout. Most challenge fees are refunded with your first successful payout.

TradersYard typically offers multiple formats — both one-step and two-step evaluations are common across the industry, and some firms also offer instant-funding options. The exact structure depends on which account size and program you pick. The challenge cards above show the current steps, profit targets, and time limits for each tier.

Profit splits in this industry typically range from 70% to 90% to the trader. Higher splits are usually unlocked through TradersYard's scaling plan after consistent payouts. The exact current split for each program is shown on the main TradersYard review page along with payout frequency and minimum payout amounts.

Most prop firms enforce both a daily drawdown limit (around 4–5%) and a maximum overall drawdown (around 8–10%). The make-or-break detail is whether the overall drawdown is static (calculated from starting balance) or trailing (follows equity highs). Each challenge card above shows TradersYard's exact rule for that account size — read it carefully before paying.

You lose the challenge fee. Most firms — including TradersYard — offer discounted reset options if you want to retry without paying the full price again. If you breach by a small margin in the final phase, some firms grant a free reset on a case-by-case basis. Contact TradersYard's support directly if you think you qualify.

News trading rules vary across firms and across TradersYard's individual programs. Most prop firms restrict trading during high-impact news (NFP, FOMC, CPI) and some require positions to be closed before weekend gaps. TradersYard's specific trading rules are listed on the main TradersYard review page in the Trading Rules section.
