Overview
HyroTrader is a crypto-only prop firm that launched in 2023. Its hook is where you trade: you can connect your own Bybit or BloFin demo account, use Hyro's in-house platform with TradingView charts, or trade through Tealstreet or Tiger. It suits crypto traders who want to keep their exchange setup.
How the evaluation works
One-Step: a 10% target with a 4% daily and 6% overall loss limit. From $69 for 5k up to $1,299 for 200k.
Two-Step: 10% then 5%, with a 5% daily and 10% overall limit. From $59.
Zero-Step: a one-day evaluation with a 10% target, a 3% daily and 5% overall limit. From $89, and the fee isn't refundable.
The daily limit is static, set from your equity at 00:00 UTC.
Rules worth knowing
During the evaluation, no single day can count for more than 40% of the target on One-Step and Two-Step. On Zero-Step the cap is 50% per trade.
A trading day only counts if you close a trade worth at least 5% of the starting balance that moved at least 1%.
No time limit, but 30 days without trading closes the account.
Bots are allowed if the strategy is yours. Copy trading, signal services and Martingale are banned, and so is hedging across accounts.
Funded accounts cap margin at 25% of the starting balance and open positions at twice the balance.
Getting paid
You start on 80%. On One-Step and Two-Step it can rise to 90% at HyroTrader's discretion, and the challenge deposit comes back with your first payout. You can request a payout once you're in profit, with a $100 minimum after the split. Payments go out in USDT or USDC within 24 hours.

What traders say
Scores from the sites traders use, and our summary of what they're saying, checked 6 October 2026.
HyroTrader is a crypto-only firm with a small but mostly positive review record: 4.3 on Trustpilot from about 230 reviews. One review site found no Forex Peace Army reviews as of April 2026. Reddit is mixed, with keen users in crypto and prop firm subreddits alongside at least one detailed warning. Most complaints are about strict rules rather than unpaid money.
What traders like
Real exchange execution. The most common praise is that challenges run on a Bybit account with live order books, which reviewers see as harder to manipulate than a firm's own price feed.
Fast payouts. Several traders on Trustpilot, Reddit and Myfxbook say payouts landed within a day, and some report several.
Wide choice of pairs. People like having hundreds of crypto pairs and high leverage where most forex firms offer a handful.
Support. Many reviewers mention quick, helpful answers.
Common complaints
Strict rules. Several reviewers say challenges were closed on daily drawdown, and some found the profit distribution rule during evaluation hard to follow.
Limits on large accounts. A few mention a low cap on position size for low-cap coins. Review sites also point to a per-payout cap of 5% of the account and a 3% single-trade loss rule that is checked by hand rather than enforced by the platform.
Failed challenges by experienced traders. One long Reddit post from October 2025 by a trader who failed a $200K challenge argues the model depends on people failing and rebuying.
Slow support at busy times. A handful of Trustpilot reviewers say so.
Recently
July 2026: HyroTrader won a prop firm award at a crypto industry event.
September 2026: the firm reported a one-step pass rate of about 13.5% and is promoting a free trial. Recent Trustpilot replies from the firm address the low-cap rule and daily drawdown closures. We found no new cluster of complaints.
