TradersYard sells one-step futures evaluations. Its homepage offers a Standard plan and a Premium plan. The Standard plan comes in $25K, $50K, $100K and $150K account sizes, each for a one-time fee. The firm's rules page also has tabs for Legacy futures accounts and for FX Instant, 1-Step and 2-Step accounts. The detailed rules we saw cover Standard futures accounts, so this review concentrates on those.
All accounts are simulated. The help centre says its challenges are "based on demo accounts with virtual capital", and the Terms say all trades and funds on the platform "are strictly virtual". The Terms name the operator as TradersYard GmbH, Kärntnerring 5/7, 1010 Vienna, Austria. The homepage describes the firm as "Prop Trading made in Switzerland and Austria".
Everything in this review comes from Tradersyard's own web pages, saved on 7–9 October 2026. Rules and prices change, so check the firm's site before you buy.

The homepage lists four Standard futures accounts. Each is a one-time fee, and the homepage states "Activation fee: None". A banner on the site advertises a discount on a first purchase; the prices below are as shown in the plan table on the homepage, and we could not tell from the page whether they already include any discount.
| Account | Fee (one-time) | Profit target | EoD max. drawdown | Max. contracts | Reward cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $49 | $1,250 (5%) | $750 (3%) | 1 Mini / 10 Micros | $1,000 |
| $50K | $99 | $2,500 (5%) | $1,500 (3%) | 2 Minis / 20 Micros | $1,500 |
| $100K | $219 | $5,000 (5%) | $3,000 (3%) | 4 Minis / 40 Micros | $2,500 |
| $150K | $339 | $7,500 (5%) | $4,500 (3%) | 6 Minis / 60 Micros | $3,500 |
The homepage describes Standard as a "Low entry fee, well balanced plan" and Premium as having "Higher payout caps". We could not see the Premium plan's prices or rules in our saved pages, so we do not list them.
The Terms say Evaluation fees "are calculated and based in Euros (EUR)", while the homepage shows prices in dollars; payment in another currency is converted at the payment provider's rate.
The help centre lists Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Maestro, Diners Club International and cryptocurrency as payment methods, with card payments made through Stripe.
These rules come from the Standard tab of the futures rules page and apply to Standard futures accounts.
The general help centre article on drawdown says EoD max. drawdown is updated at UTC 00:00. This differs from the futures rules page, which uses EST/EDT 17:00. We used the futures rules page, as it is specific to these accounts.
The homepage lists these conditions with the Standard plans: "Overnight holding not allowed" and "News trading not allowed". Each Standard account size also has a maximum contract limit (see the table above).
The help centre's general trading rules list these prohibited practices:
The same article sets a martingale rule: after a losing streak, new positions must not exceed 2x the notional size of the largest losing trade in that streak. It says violations can lead to profit deduction or account termination.
The Terms add that the firm has "sole and absolute discretion" in deciding whether trading breaks these rules. Possible penalties include deducting profits from the violating trades, terminating accounts, and forfeiting fees or rewards.
The Terms allow one dashboard per person and ban multiple accounts, including through related persons or household members. Accounts may be suspended for review if several share an IP address or device.
The firm's pages give two different profit-split schemes:
The homepage is the page that sells the futures plans, so we treat its figure as the current one for Standard futures, but check the split before buying.
The help centre says traders can request a scale-up of their account size and links to separate scaling rules. We did not capture those rules, so we cannot describe the conditions.
The firm says it processes rewards in 1–2 business days after KYC approval, and none on public holidays. It also says most traders are paid within 4–6 business hours of a request. If a reward is not received within 48 business hours, the help centre says the trader gets an extra reward of 1% of the total reward pool, up to $500.
Rewards are paid in fiat or crypto, through the provider Rise or by cryptocurrency. Rewards through Rise are subject to Rise's supported countries and currencies. Before a reward, traders must sign an agreement and pass KYC. The Terms describe a funded trader as an "independent contractor providing Simulated Data Deliverables".
The Terms say evaluations run on AgenaTrader-Client or AgenaTrader-WebTrader. They describe AgenaTrader GmbH as a separate company and a "sister company" to TradersYard. The help centre has guides for a TradersYard Web Platform and a TradersYard Mobile Platform. The help centre says the firm provides its datafeed free of charge.
The symbols page lists futures contracts across several groups, including:
The help centre's Futures Account Guide includes an article on futures commissions and trading costs that we did not capture, so we cannot state futures commission levels.
Operator. The Terms name TradersYard GmbH, Kärntnerring 5/7, 1010 Vienna, Austria, commercial register FN 543439 a. They are governed by Austrian law, with Vienna as the place of jurisdiction where legally permissible.
Simulated accounts. The Terms describe the service as simulated trading and say evaluations "do not constitute financial services". The help centre says that after the funded level, traders sign a Signal Provider Agreement that lets TradersYard copy their trades as signals to its corporate account, if its internal risk assessments and other metrics are met.
Who can join. Traders must be at least 18. The Terms limit the service to individuals and prohibit purchases by companies or other legal entities. Futures evaluations are only for non-professional traders, and the Terms list criteria such as holding a CFA or Series 7, or having worked in a trading role at a financial institution or prop firm within the previous 12 months.
Restricted countries. The Terms bar citizens, residents and anyone physically located in Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Russia and Belarus from all services. Futures challenges have a longer list. The help centre lists 47 countries, including Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, the Philippines, Morocco and Algeria. The Terms' futures list (section 7.4.1) also includes Pakistan, which the help centre list does not. We used the Terms on this point, as the binding document, so our list of 48 restricted jurisdictions includes Pakistan. The help centre also says the maximum funded allocation is $100,000 for Malaysia, Pakistan and Indonesia.
Funded allocation. The help centre's general FAQ says you can buy unlimited challenge accounts, but funded allocation is capped at $300,000 in total or 2 funded accounts, whichever is reached first.
Refunds. The help centre describes a 14-day money-back guarantee that only applies if you have not placed any orders or trades. The Terms say the right of withdrawal is lost on the first simulated trade and that fees are otherwise non-refundable.
Inactivity. The Terms say an Evaluation account with no trading activity for 90 days is classed as inactive and may be suspended or blocked.
Verification. KYC is needed before any reward-eligible account is issued. The Terms name Sumsub as the KYC provider, while the help centre's rewards article refers to Veriff or Rise. Enhanced KYC (tax ID and proof of address) may be required once rewards reach certain thresholds. The firm says it does not withhold or report tax.
On its published rules, the Standard futures plan fits a trader who wants a single evaluation step, no time limit and no daily loss limit, and who closes positions before the end of the day. It does not fit traders who hold overnight, trade news, use copy trading or a VPN/VPS, or live in one of the restricted countries. Professional traders, as defined in the Terms, cannot take futures evaluations. Because funded rewards are capped by account size and the profit-split wording differs between pages, check the current reward terms for your account size before buying.

TradersYard's Standard futures plan is a one-step evaluation with a 5% target, a 3% end-of-day trailing drawdown, no daily loss limit and no time limit, for a one-time fee from $49. Overnight holds and news trading are not allowed, rewards are capped by account size, and its homepage and help centre describe the profit split differently. We could not see the Premium plan or the FX programmes in detail, so check those directly.
