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
Scores from the sites traders use, and our summary of what they're saying, checked 6 October 2026.
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.
