Three rules. That’s the whole challenge.
The plain-language version. The terms are the contract and win if the two ever disagree. They are built from the same numbers, so they shouldn’t.
Yodoya is a simulated trading platform and evaluation service. Every account is simulated, funded ones included: no real capital is deployed and we hold no money of yours. Payouts are performance bonuses from our own revenue, not investment returns, and the fee pays for access and evaluation; it is not a bet. Most people do not pass, so treat the fee as money you are prepared to lose.
The worked example throughout is the Large account: $10,000 of simulated capital.
1. Profit target: +12%
Reach +12% of your starting balance and the challenge ends as a pass: $11,200 in the example. There is no deadline and no minimum number of trading days.
2. Daily loss limit: −4%
Don’t lose more than 4% in a single UTC day, measured from where the day started. On a fresh $10,000 account that line is $9,600. How the daily limit resets →
3. Overall floor: −5%
Your equity must never touch 5% below your starting balance, $9,500 in the example. The line is fixed: it does not trail your profits upward, and withdrawing does not move it. Only a scale-up resets it, onto larger capital.
How the rules are checked
- On equity, not just closed trades. Open positions count, valued at the price you could actually close them at, not the midpoint.
- A breach beats a pass. If a single price move would both hit the target and break a loss limit, it is a breach.
- Touching a line once ends the account. Every open position is closed at that moment.
- No price, no breach. If the price feed goes quiet the engine freezes, and nothing can be breached on a price seen during an outage. Every freeze is public on the status page.
What isn’t a rule
No time limit, no minimum trading days, no consistency rule, no news or weekend restrictions, and no leverage: margin always equals notional, so your open positions can never total more than your equity.
After you pass
The account becomes funded (a bonus-eligible simulated account; no real capital is allocated): no profit target, the same two loss limits, and you become eligible for performance bonuses measured at 80% of simulated profit, paid in USDC (90% if you took the split upgrade at checkout). Everything stays simulated; no real capital is ever deployed.
- Payouts: when you can withdraw and how much.
- Scaling plan: capital grows for free after clean payouts.
