HyroTrader
The only firm read here whose trades run on the customer's own exchange account — a Bybit API key, USDT perpetuals, and the firm's own words for it are "This is real market execution, not a simulated feed." Against that: its flagship One Step product is described by no binding document at all. Both terms documents describe a single two-phase product, so the One Step buyer is bound by a five-row table and three help-centre articles, and the 6% maximum loss it advertises is never once said to be measured against balance or against equity.
Forty saved pages. It publishes the same question twice more often than any firm read so far, so this file fills every row from the binding document where one speaks and files the sales figure as a contradiction. Funded accounts carry no profit-distribution rule — "Funded accounts do not have a profit distribution rule." — which is the single most common way this industry blocks a withdrawal, absent here.
Not enough published data to simulate this firm’s floor.
We read this firm plan by plan, and its numbers are published — they live in the derived evidence on its card, not in the five-axis sieve the tiers are ranked on. The grade here is the evidence itself: three answers and a payment-promise score, each computed from the firm’s own documents with a citation behind every input. What it does not have is the hand-written scorecard a tier requires.

What this firm published
Everything below is quoted from a page we opened, on the date shown. The quotes are in the firm’s own language, exactly as published — never edited, never shortened, never swapped for a translation. On the Spanish edition our own rendering appears underneath each one, unquoted and marked as ours: the quotation marks on this site mean the words are the firm’s, and nothing we wrote ever wears them. Where we have not read enough to put a number on an axis, we say so instead of guessing.
2/5
Can you even pass?
Almost nobody who pays for an evaluation ever reaches a funded account, so this is the part of the product most customers actually buy. Every firm advertises its profit target; none of them advertises that target next to how much you are allowed to lose while chasing it.
1/5
Can you keep the money?
The drawdown takes the account away; the payout rules take the money. Answered by whichever of the two we can measure and is worse — they are two ways of losing the same thing, so a good half cannot pay for a bad one.
2/5
Is anyone behind it?
A named company, a market, and rules you could read before paying. These three do not substitute for one another — a company you can sue does not stop existing because the account is a simulation — so this is the average of the ones we could measure, not the worst.

“The Maximum Exposure rule and Cumulative Open Position Value limits apply only to funded accounts and do not apply during the evaluation phase.”“For a $10,000 account, total open positions cannot exceed $20,000.”No score here, on purpose. The six axes above ask whether the firm can take your money or refuse to pay it. These rules ask something else — whether you can trade your way — and the right weight depends on who is reading: a minimum holding time decides the account for a scalper and is invisible to anyone else, while the weekend rule is the reverse. A single number would be wrong for half of you, and would look decided. The firm’s own sentences are here; the judgement is yours.
How it grows
What makes the account get bigger, how big it can get, and whether the path ends at a real market or at a larger simulation.
What makes the account growprofit—
“Achieve a total profit of at least 20% to qualify for scaling.”How large it can get$1,000,000—
“Manage up to $200,000 in challenges and $200,000 funded, with a clear path to $1,000,000.”Where the path endsat a real market—
“With consistent performance and a minimum profit of 15%, traders become eligible for a funded trading account with real capital.”One of these questions is scored and it is not here. “Does the cap rise with the account” sits on the cash axis, next to the cap itself, because it has a right answer: a bigger account that pays the same cheque has handed you a larger number and the same money. The three below are different. A two-million ceiling is the whole point of the product for one reader and irrelevant to someone who wants one clean payout, so the firm’s sentences are here and the weight is yours.
