What is Instant Prime?

Immediate Access to Funded Trading — No Challenge Required

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Instant Prime is YRM Prop’s direct funding product designed for experienced traders who want to skip the evaluation process and begin trading immediately in a payout-eligible environment.

Instant Prime allows traders to trade firm capital from day one in a simulated environment, while following clearly defined risk, consistency, and payout rules.


How Instant Prime Works

Instant Prime follows a straightforward structure:

• You pay a one-time fee based on your selected account size
• You receive immediate access to a funded simulated trading account
• You trade using real-time market data via DxFeed
• You must follow Instant Prime trading, consistency, and drawdown rules
• Once payout requirements are met, you may request withdrawals
• Profits are split 90/10 in your favor

There are no monthly fees and no evaluation phases.

Payout Eligibility Rules

To request a payout on an Instant Prime account, all of the following conditions must be met.


1. Minimum Trading Days

8 qualifying trading days are required before requesting a payout
• Trading days do not need to be consecutive
• You may take days off between qualifying days

Definition of a Qualifying Trading Day

A qualifying trading day is defined as:

• At least one trade is placed during the trading session
• The account closes the day with a minimum net profit of $150

Days that do not meet the $150 minimum profit requirement do not count toward the 8-day requirement.


2. Profit Targets

(Accounts Purchased on or After February 1st)

Instant Prime accounts purchased on or after February 1st must meet profit targets before requesting payouts.

Account Size

First Payout Target

Subsequent Payout Target

$25K

$1,500

$1,000

$50K

$3,000

$2,000

$100K

$5,000

$3,500

$150K

$8,000

$5,000

• Profit targets must be met in addition to the 8 qualifying trading days and consistency check
• After a payout, a new profit target must be reached for the next payout
• Payout caps apply per payout cycle based on account size and payout number


3. 20% Consistency Rule

The 20% consistency rule ensures payouts are based on steady performance rather than a single oversized trading day.

How it works

  1. Add together the profit from all qualifying trading days

  2. Calculate 20% of that total profit

  3. No single trading day’s profit may exceed that 20% amount

Any day exceeding the 20% threshold does not count toward payout eligibility.


Full Instant Prime Payout Example

Example: $50K Instant Prime Account (Purchased After February 1st)

Account requirements
• 8 qualifying trading days
• Minimum $150 profit per qualifying day
• First payout profit target: $3,000
• 20% consistency rule applies


Step 1. Qualifying Trading Days

Day

Net Profit

Qualifies?

Day 1

$180

Yes

Day 2

$220

Yes

Day 3

$155

Yes

Day 4

$90

No (below $150)

Day 5

$310

Yes

Day 6

$260

Yes

Day 7

$195

Yes

Day 8

$225

Yes

Day 9

$455

Yes

➡️ Day 4 does not qualify
➡️ Trader now has 8 qualifying trading days


Step 2. Profit Target Check

Total profit from qualifying days:

$180 + $220 + $155 + $310 + $260 + $195 + $225 + $455 = $2,000

❌ Profit target not met yet
➡️ Trader must continue trading until total profit reaches $3,000


Step 3. Consistency Rule Check

Once profit reaches $3,000:

20% consistency threshold = $600

If one trading day produced $900, that day would be disqualified and the trader would need an additional qualifying day.


Step 4. Payout Eligibility

A payout can be requested only when all conditions are met:

✅ 8 qualifying trading days
✅ Each qualifying day closed with at least $150 profit
✅ Total profit meets or exceeds $3,000
✅ No single day violates the 20% consistency rule
✅ Account remains within drawdown limits


Grandfathering for Existing Instant Prime Accounts

Instant Prime accounts purchased before February 1st are grandfathered under the original payout rules.

For these accounts:

No profit target is required
8 qualifying trading days are still required
• Each qualifying day must close with at least $150 in profit
20% consistency rule still applies
• Original payout structure remains unchanged

Only Instant Prime accounts purchased on or after February 1st follow the new profit target and payout cap rules.


Drawdown Rules

Trailing Max Drawdown (End-of-Day Mode)

All Instant Prime accounts use a Trailing Max Drawdown calculated at end of day and enforced intraday.

• The drawdown trails your highest end-of-day balance
• If your balance drops below the active drawdown level at any time, the account is breached immediately
• Once profits equal the drawdown buffer and close above it at end of day, the drawdown locks at the starting balance


Soft Daily Loss Limit (50K and Above)

Accounts at $50K and above include a soft daily loss limit equal to the drawdown buffer.

• This limit does not cause an immediate breach
• It is provided as a risk-management guideline
• Breach decisions are based on total PnL, drawdown, consistency, and trading days


Payout Details

• Payouts are available once all eligibility rules are met
• Minimum of 8 qualifying trading days, each with at least $150 profit
• Profit targets apply to new accounts
• 20% consistency rule must be satisfied
90/10 profit split in your favor
• No scaling phase — full account size from day one

Approved payouts are typically processed within 24 hours.


Account Management Limits

• You may manage up to 3 Instant Prime accounts
• Instant Prime and Prime accounts may be combined (maximum of 3 funded accounts total)
• Traders selected for Live Trading are limited to 1 Live Account
