These rules are encoded in smart contracts and pinned to your challenge at purchase. They cannot change mid-evaluation.

The rules

​
How rules are enforced

A Rust engine monitors your Bybit account continuously — not a human reviewer checking after the fact. An oracle posts your equity and the pass/fail verdict to Solana roughly every 60 seconds during active hours. This matters: enforcement is automatic and visible. There’s no discretionary review where a firm decides after you’ve succeeded that you broke a rule.

​
Why these specific numbers

The ruleset isn’t arbitrary. HyroTrader iterated on challenge models across multiple cohorts over five years. The current parameters are tuned for two goals at once: help traders build genuine risk-management discipline, and avoid over-restricting legitimate strategies.
Fraud prevention. Arbitrage rings target firms with no minimum, passing on a single high-conviction trade and extracting payouts on accounts they never genuinely earned. Five days forces multi-session demonstration of risk discipline — short enough not to block legitimate traders, long enough to filter exploits.
It prevents passing on one outsized gamble. Genuine skill shows up across multiple trades, not a single lucky position.

​
Rule version pinning

Your evaluation runs under a specific rulebook version (e.g. v1.0). The version is recorded on-chain when you buy the challenge.
  • Challenges purchased under v1.0 are evaluated against v1.0 rules even after v1.1 is published.
  • Every rule change is documented in a public changelog with date, scope, and rationale.

Outcomes

Pass — you reach +10% within the rules, across at least 5 trading days. You move to the funded demo at Tier 1 (80/20 split).
Fail — you break a drawdown limit or violate a rule. The demo is canceled and the evaluation fee is not refunded.
