Hydra Funding review

Strategies that exploit execution, pricing, or program rules are not allowed. Prohibited activity includes, for example:

‍

• Exploiting pricing errors, platform bugs, or latency

• Copy trading from any account that is not your own

• Arbitrage designed to exploit execution or pricing discrepancies

• Using insider or non-public information

• Front-running or trading that creates regulatory/liquidity-provider issues

• Using third-party “passing services,” trade-copy networks, or coordinated group trading

• Any trading that jeopardizes Hydra’s relationships with brokers or liquidity providers

‍

If prohibited activity is detected, Hydra may remove trades, close accounts, deny withdrawals, and/or permanently restrict participation.

Copy trading is only permitted when all accounts involved are owned by you. Group trading, signal services, passing services, or any method that bypasses individual strategy is not allowed.

Maximum position size is generally determined by available margin. There are contract limit sizes on Futures accounts. We may adjust margin requirements or apply limits to order size or open positions due to market conditions or risk controls.

Hydra provides optimized trading conditions for each market. Limits are defined as follows:

‍

Forex Leverage:

• FX: 1:50

• Metals, Indices, and Oils: 1:5

• Crypto: 1:2

‍

Crypto Leverage:

• BTC & ETH: 5:1

• Others: 2:1

‍

Futures Exposure Limits:

• 10k Account: 1 Contract / 15 Micros

• 25k Account: 1 Contract / 15 Micros

• 50k Account: 3 Contracts / 30 Micros

• 100k Account: 6 Contracts / 60 Micros

• 200k Account: 12 Contracts / 120 Micros

You may have up to one (1) active account per plan size, per product, per market, at any given time.

This means that duplicate accounts of the same product, same size, and same market are not permitted.
‍

For example:
‍

• Two Instant Lite 50k Forex accounts at the same time

• Two Instant Pro 25k Crypto accounts at the same time

‍

However, holding the same plan size across different markets is permitted.
‍

For example:
‍

• Instant Lite 50k Forex + Instant Lite 50k Crypto + Instant Lite 50k Futures

• Instant Lite 100k + Instant Lite 50k + Instant Pro 100k

• Instant Lite Accounts: 15%

• Instant Prime Accounts: 25%

• Instant Pro Accounts: 25%

• Instant Lite Accounts: 3%

• Instant Prime Accounts: 3%

• Instant Pro Accounts: 4%

What is Trader Payout?

Trader Payout is the percentage of profits you receive on withdrawals.

• 75% standard

• 90% with add-on (optional)

--

What is Payout Protection?

Payout Protection is an optional feature available on certain plans.

• On some plans (such as Instant Lite), it may be added at checkout for an additional fee.

• On other plans (such as Instant Pro), it is included.

‍-

If your account has Payout Protection and you have already met your payout requirements (such as the Profit Buffer and Best Day Rule), and later your account closes due to max daily loss, your eligible positive results may still qualify for a Trader Payout — subject to review and verification. Payout Protection does not apply to accounts that violate our Prohibited Activity rules (for example, breaking news window rules).

--

How do Trader Payouts affect drawdown after it is fixed?

A Trader Payout reduces the account balance, but the trailing drawdown limit does not move.

This means the remaining distance between your balance and the drawdown limit may decrease after a payout. If the balance reaches the drawdown limit, the account will close.

‍-

Example:
$100,000 Instant Pro account

‍

Account size: $100,000  

Max trailing drawdown: 5%

‍

The account grows to $106,000. At this point, the trailing drawdown has reached and capped at $100,000.

After an approved $5,000 Trader Payout, the account balance becomes $101,000. The drawdown limit remains at $100,000.

The account now has $1,000 of remaining distance to the drawdown limit.

If the balance falls to $100,000, the account will close.
