Countries and Jurisdictions With Different Handling
YRM Prop states it is not registered in any capacity with the SEC or CFTC.
Commissions
Execution-related costs such as commissions, per-contract fees, data fees, spreads, swaps, and other trading costs; plan purchase fees and activation fees are shown separately.
Commissions are applied after a trade closes. Published examples show $5.00 commissions for listed mini/full contracts and $1.60 for listed micro contracts.
General Policies
Algorithm & EA Policy
Manual discretionary trading is permitted; automated trading is restricted unless explicitly approved.
YRM Prop prohibits sub-second order placement or cancellation, tick-scalping strategies, spoofing/layering, and latency-driven execution algorithms. Arbitrage exploits and strategies designed to exploit feed or execution differences are prohibited.
Copy Trading
Copy trading is allowed when using YRM internal tools, using external trade copiers for the trader's own YRM accounts, running the same strategy across multiple accounts, or copying across firms if not used for hedging or offsetting risk. Copy trading used for hedging, coordinated multi-person trading, or manipulating payout/risk metrics is prohibited.
Microscalping Policy
Tick-scalping strategies and sub-second high-frequency behavior are prohibited unless explicitly approved.
Bots Policy
Automated trading is restricted unless explicitly approved; high-frequency, latency-driven, spoofing, and layering behavior is prohibited.
Allowed Trading Hours
Trading is allowed Monday through Friday during regular market hours; all positions must be closed by 4:15 PM EST each trading day. Evening positions may be opened from 6:00 PM EST and must be closed by 4:15 PM EST the following day. Sunday trading resumes at 6:00 PM EST.
Weekend Holding Policy
No weekend holds; positions must be closed before market close on Friday.
Move to Live Criteria
YRM Prop may call traders to Live after the 2nd payout for exceptional consistency, most commonly after the 4th payout, or mandatorily once maximum combined payout caps are reached. Eligible accounts are consolidated into one Live account and up to 16% of each account size can be carried forward.
Rule Enforcement Notes
Violations may result in account restriction or termination, payout denial, permanent bans, or further action in cases of fraud or abuse. Hard breaches close the account and forfeit profits.
Refund Policy
No refunds after purchase; YRM Prop states membership fees are considered used in full because third-party service providers require immediate commitment when an account is opened.
Activation Fee Policy
Starter Challenge activation fee is listed as $99, currently waived to $0 during the launch offer; passed Starter accounts advance to Prime with no additional fee charged during the reviewed corpus.
Reset Notes
YRM Prop says breached accounts may show a reset option in the dashboard and current accounts are one-time purchase only with no subscriptions. The same reset article also says a drawdown-breached account is permanently closed and cannot be reset or reopened, so reset handling may depend on account eligibility/dashboard state.
VPN Policy
VPNs and VPS tools are allowed, but location abuse, constant location hopping, simultaneous logins from different regions, or multiple users accessing the same account may result in review.
