Getting Started & General Information

TradersYard Challenge is designed to evaluate the trading skills of aspiring, disciplined traders who can consistently generate profits by effectively trading financial instruments such as stocks, ETFs, Indices, forex, commodities, or cryptocurrencies while managing risk.

The sign-up process is explained here.

We accept traders from all around the world. There is no special qualification required. All clients must be at least 18 years old. If you know how to trade profitably and with proper risk management, that is all we care about. Please note that TradersYard does not provide services to persons/countries listed on sanction lists, persons with criminal records related to financial crime or terrorism, and to persons previously banned because of breach of contract/ unethical activities.

​

For futures-challenges you need to explicitly confirm that you are a non-professional trader to be eligible to join.

You can find a list of all restricted countries here:

​

Please note, however, that if you would like to receive your Reward via Crypto direct wallet transfer, you would need to go through a Veriff KYC check, which does not necessarily include the above-mentioned banned countries.

​

Country restrictions apply to Futures Challenges due to CME, provider, and applicable sanctions and compliance requirements.

Residents of the following countries are currently not eligible to participate in TradersYard Futures Challenges:

These restrictions may change due to regulatory, sanctions, exchange, clearing-provider, or compliance requirements.

No, we provide our free datafeed. Once you purchase a challenge, all tools and data to trade the challenge will be provided to you without any extra charges.

At no point during your trading journey with us will you need to invest your own funds in order to trade. The only expense to be covered from your end is the entry fee of our Challenges.

Our challenges are based on demo accounts with virtual capital throughout the whole challenge-journey. The only difference is that after you pass Funded Level, you will have to sign a Signal Provider Agreement that we will send to you. This allows TradersYard to copy your trades as signals to our corporate account (if our internal risk-assessments and further metrics are fulfilled). At no point will you be held accountable for potential losses if TradersYard copies your signals and it leads to losses. Also, at no point during your TradersYard Challenge you will trade with real money, all trading-activities in our challenges are virtual.

Our head office is based in Kärntnerring 5-7, 1010 Vienna, Austria. Our entire team, however, is based internationally around the world. You can contact us at [email protected]

Winners must claim their account within 30 days of being notified.
