The ultimate goal of YRM Prop's funding program is to identify exceptional traders ready for live market trading. The transition from Prime or Instant Prime accounts to a Live Account represents our highest level of confidence in your trading abilities.
Selection Process
Live Account transitions are initiated by our risk management team based on:
Consistent profitability across multiple payouts
Adherence to risk management parameters
Trading style sustainability in live market conditions
Overall account performance metrics
Important: Traders cannot decline a Live Account transition when selected. This requirement exists because live trading represents the natural progression of our program and the ultimate aim of our partnership.
Benefits of Live Account Trading
Live Accounts offer significant advantages over simulated trading:
Uncapped Withdrawals: No maximum limits on payout amounts
Flexible Withdrawal Schedule: Request profits at any time without minimum trading day requirements
Real Market Execution: Trade with actual capital in live markets
Enhanced Scaling Potential: Opportunity for account size increases based on performance
Higher Credibility: Build a verifiable track record in real market conditions
Modified Rules for Live Accounts
When transitioning to Live Account trading, several key rules are adjusted:
No Consistency Requirement: The consistency rule (20% for Instant Prime, 35% for Prime) no longer applies to Live Account traders
No Trailing Drawdown: Live Accounts do not have standard drawdown mode restrictions
Custom Daily Loss Limits: Your Risk Account Manager will establish personalized daily loss limits on a case-by-case basis
Scalable Contract Limits: Traders can increase their contract limits based on demonstrated performance
Performance Reviews: Traders may request performance reviews to qualify for increased contract limits
