## Overview

YLOS Trading runs futures evaluations from Hoboken, New Jersey, with a site and help centre in Portuguese. You trade CME, CBOT, COMEX and NYMEX contracts on BlackArrow Pro, and every plan is a one-time fee with no monthly renewal. It suits day traders who are happy to work in BlackArrow.

### How the evaluation works

- **Standard:** a 6% target on most sizes, with a max loss from 2.5% (300K) to 6% (25K) that trails your end-of-day balance. You pay an activation fee once you pass.
- **No Activation Fee:** the same targets and limits, with a higher entry price and nothing to pay on passing.
- **Freedom 2.0 (25K, 50K):** a 6% target, a $1,200 or $2,000 end-of-day drawdown, and fewer rules once funded.
- **Instant Funding:** no evaluation, straight to a funded account with a real-time trailing drawdown.

On Standard and No Activation Fee the funded drawdown trails tick by tick until you're up by the drawdown plus $100, then it freezes.

### Rules worth knowing

- Every position must be closed 30 minutes before the 4pm Chicago close. Holding past it zeroes the account.
- News is fine in the evaluation, but funded accounts must be flat at the release.
- No bots or third-party copiers. Only the YLOS order replicator is allowed.
- Funded accounts check that no day is 40% or more of profit (30% on Freedom and Instant), and no single loss is over 5 times your median winner.

### Getting paid

You keep 100% of the first $15,000 across all accounts, 90% up to $30,000 and 80% after. Standard payouts need 10 trading days with 7 winners of $50 or more. Instant Funding needs 5 days of $200. Requests run Monday to Friday, get reviewed within a business day, and are paid through Rise.

## What traders say

Checked 2026-10-06.

- Trustpilot: 4.8 / 5 from 707 reviews (https://www.trustpilot.com/review/ylostrading.com)
- X: no score (https://x.com/PropFirmMatch/status/2084624791701532788)

Ylos Trading, a futures prop firm founded in 2024 with a largely Brazilian following, scores highly on Trustpilot: 4.8 from about 700 reviews. Trustpilot is the only review site in our evidence with a score, so the picture leans on one source. Independent payout tracking shows the firm pays at scale, and the complaints that exist focus on payout rules and a handful of suspended accounts.

### What traders like

- **The profit split.** Many traders point to keeping all of the first $15,000 in profit.
- **Support.** Reviewers often name individual support staff and say problems were fixed within hours, including prizes credited after the London Prop Firm Expo.
- **Clear risk rules and platform.** Several reviews praise the rules as fair and like the BlackArrow platform.
- **Payouts that arrive.** Traders describe getting paid, and a payout tracker counts about 2,500 verified payouts worth around $5 million since January 2026.

### Common complaints

- **Accounts suspended with profits.** A few Trustpilot reviewers say funded accounts were suspended or blocked with thousands in profit, and that the firm called the decision final.
- **Disputes over reviews.** One reviewer says the firm tried to get their negative review removed before closing their account.
- **Payout conditions.** Some traders on X and review sites say the minimum winning days, payout caps on early withdrawals, the 10-business-day cycle, intraday trailing drawdown and a consistency rule on funded accounts make payouts slow to reach.

### Recently

- **August 2026:** Ylos was listed on Prop Firm Match, and in replies some traders criticised its payout rules. The firm also replied publicly to a trader whose account was suspended with $3,800 in profit.
- **September 2026:** a Trustpilot reviewer says their account was blocked with $11,000 in profit after a dispute over a review.
