How a YouTrade challenge works
You choose an account size and challenge type, pay a service fee, and receive a simulated MatchTrader account. You trade until you hit the profit target or breach a risk rule. If you pass every required phase, YouTrade may offer a funded-style account. Later payouts, if any, follow the profit-split and payout rules. Nothing here is investment advice.
Three steps
1) Pick One Step, Two Step or Instant Funding. 2) Trade the evaluation on MatchTrader inside the published risk limits. 3) If you pass, continue on a funded-style account and request payouts according to the schedule.
