Traders Yard Review: Rules, Profit Split & Payouts
TradersYard is a forex and futures prop firm run by TradersYard GmbH from Vienna, Austria, and it advertises custom 1-step and 2-step challenges and up to $300K in simulated capital. Besides its pre-set Built for You 2-Step plan from $5,000 to $100,000, it sells a 1-step challenge configured at purchase, Instant Funded accounts of $1,000 and $2,000 with no evaluation, and futures challenges from $25,000 to $125,000. Evaluations run on the AgenaTrader client and WebTrader, across forex, commodities, indices, stocks, ETFs, crypto and futures.
The Built for You 2-Step asks for a 9% profit target in phase 1 and 6% in phase 2, with a 5% daily drawdown, a 10% static maximum drawdown and 6 minimum profitable days, no consistency rule and no time limit. The 1-step uses a 3% daily drawdown and a 5% end-of-day maximum drawdown that trails upward, and 1-step accounts can carry a 40% consistency rule. Instant Funded accounts have no daily drawdown, a 5% end-of-day maximum drawdown and 4 profitable days of at least 1% closed profit. The futures challenge sets a 6% target and a 3% end-of-day drawdown. The TradersYard rules that most often catch traders out: no trading from 10 minutes before to 5 minutes after high-impact news on every funded account, a martingale rule capping new positions at 2x the largest losing trade after a losing streak, bans on copy trading, arbitrage, VPS use and hedging across accounts, and closure after 30 days without a trade. Overnight holding is not allowed on Build Your Own futures accounts.
The profit split is tiered: traders keep 100% of the first $300, 90% from $300 to $1,000 and 80% above $1,000. The first reward comes after 15 days on FX accounts and 10 days on futures, and TradersYard says rewards are processed in 1-2 business days after KYC approval and paid through Rise or crypto, with a $50 minimum. Funded accounts are capped at $300,000 or 2 accounts. The entry fee is refundable under a 14-day guarantee only if no order or trade has been placed. Challenge prices are not published on the pages read. Residents of Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Russia and Belarus cannot use the service.

How Traders Yard compares in size
Measured on estimated monthly website visits for September 2026, Traders Yard ranks 125 of the 463 prop firms Prop Firm Pal tracks — larger than 73% of them, at roughly 48.84K visits a month.
The ranking covers every firm measured between July 2026 and September 2026, each on its own latest reading in that window. Firms last measured before July 2026 are left out rather than shown with a stale figure, so the total moves month to month.
Size is not quality. A large firm is one that markets successfully, and several of the most visited firms in this ranking have the strictest rules; some of the smallest pay out reliably to everyone who asks. What the ranking is useful for is scale — whether you are looking at an established operation or something very new.
