I had one trading day that exceeded the Profit Distribution Rule. What happens?
On Hyro Core, One-Step and Two-Step challenges, during the evaluation phases, no single trading day may count for more than 40% of your profit target. On Zero-Step (no longer sold; existing accounts keep these rules), the same idea applies per trade instead of per day: no single trade may count for more than 50% of your profit target during the evaluation phase. Hyro Instant has no evaluation, so this rule does not apply to it.
A day's contribution is the net result of all trades you closed that day. Profit above the 40% cap stays in your account. It just doesn't count toward the profit target. Losing days always count in full.
This rule is designed to prevent overreliance on a single trading day and to encourage consistent and responsible trading behavior.
Example
Profit target: $500 (a $5,000 Phase 1 account)
Trading results:
- Day 1: +$320
- Day 2: +$100
- Day 3: +$40
- Day 4: +$22
- Day 5: +$18
Total net result: $500
Maximum allowed contribution from a single trading day:
$500 × 40% = $200
Rule Assessment
- Day 1 contributed $320 to the total result.
- Maximum allowed contribution is $200.
- Therefore, only $200 from Day 1 will be counted toward the evaluation result.
- The remaining $120 stays in your account but does not count toward the target, so your counted result is $380, and you need another $120 on other days to reach the $500 target.
To comply with the rule, profits and losses should be distributed more evenly across multiple trading days rather than concentrated in a single day.
