Minimum trading days: how does it work?
To achieve this objective, you must engage in trading activities over a minimum number of distinct trading days: 4 days on Hyro Core, 4 days on One-Step, and 4 days in each phase of Two-Step. On Hyro Instant there is no evaluation. Your first payout can be requested after 3 qualifying trading days, as long as your account is in profit. Existing Zero-Step accounts (no longer sold) keep their minimum of 1 day. One-Step and Two-Step challenges bought before 4 November 2026 keep the 5-day minimum (5 in each phase of Two-Step). A trading day is a UTC day on which you close at least one trade worth at least 5% of your initial balance whose result moved at least 1% of the trade's value, up or down (before fees). A trade counts on the day it is closed, not the day it was opened.
Even if you reach your profit target earlier, you must still complete the minimum number of trading days for your challenge to allow for a comprehensive assessment of your trading skills and the sustainability of your performance.
Trading Day Requirements
To qualify as a valid trading day:
- Minimum trading days: 4 (Hyro Core), 4 (One-Step), 4 per phase (Two-Step), 3 before the first payout (Hyro Instant)
- Each trade must be at least 5% of the initial account balance
- The PnL of a trade must be at least ±1% of the trade value
Example: Invalid Trading Day
Challenge size: $100,000
Trade size: $12,000 (meets 5% minimum)
Realized profit: $80
PnL = 0.66% of trade value
Required minimum = 1% ($120)
Since $80 < $120, this trade does not qualify as a valid trading day.
Example: Valid Trading Day
Initial balance: $10,000
Minimum trade size: $500
Trade size: $600
Realized profit: $90
PnL = 15% of trade value (above 1% minimum)
This trade qualifies as a valid trading day
Important
Even if a trade does not qualify as a valid trading day, any profit earned still contributes toward your overall profit target.
