Build Your Yard Configurator

The configurator lets you build a challenge that matches your trading style, instead of adjusting yourself to fixed rules

1. Open the Challenge Configurator

Go to the TradersYard Challenges page and open the Build Your Yard configurator.

2. Choose Challenge Structure (1-Step vs 2-Step)

Select:

• 1-Step Challenge

• 2-Step Challenge

What this affects:

• 1-Step: Faster to get funded since there is only one phase to get on a Funded Account

• 2-Step: Requires passing two phases to get on a Funded Account

3. Choose Your Account Type

Select the type of challenge you want to build.

Example:

• FX Challenge

• Futures Challenge (coming soon)

4. Select Your Account Size

Choose the starting account balance you want to trade with.

Example: $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, $150,000

What this affects:

• Larger accounts → higher profit potential

• Also affects:

• drawdown limits

• max lot size

• overall risk exposure

5. Adjust Profit Target

Set how much profit you need to pass the challenge.

What this affects:

• Higher target → harder to pass, cheaper challenge

• Lower target → easier to pass, usually higher price

6. Configure Drawdown Rules

Set:

• Daily drawdown (FX only)

• Maximum drawdown

What this affects:

• Lower drawdown → safer but stricter

• Higher drawdown → more flexibility but higher cost

• Static vs trailing:

• Static = fixed limit

• Trailing = moves with your profit

7. Choose Consistency Rule

i) Options:

• < 40%

• None

Effect:

• <40%: You must avoid making most profit in one day → promotes steady trading

• None: No restriction → more freedom, but typically higher cost

ii) Choose Minimum Profitable Days

Options:

• 3 days

• 6 days

Effect:

• 3 days → faster completion

• 6 days → enforces consistency

8. Reward Split (Funded Stage)

(Displayed as funded condition)

Your profit is split in tiers:

• First $300 → 100%

• $300–$1,000 → 90%

• Above $1,000 → 80%

This determines how much profit you keep after funding.

9. Choose Reward Frequency

Options:

• 15 days

• 30 days

Effect:

• 15 days → faster payouts

• 30 days → slower payouts but typically cheaper

10. Allow News Trading

Options:

• Yes

• No

Effect:

• Yes → more opportunities, higher risk

• No → safer, avoids volatility

(Note: Always restricted on funded accounts regardless)

11. Choose Leverage

Options:

• Up to 1:30

• Up to 1:75

Effect:

• Higher leverage → larger positions, higher risk

• Lower leverage → safer trading

12. Understand the Funded Column (Right Side)

This shows what happens after you pass.

Key points:

• Profit Target → Removed (No target once funded)

• Drawdown rules → Still apply

• Reward split → Active

• Reward frequency → Active

• News trading → Always restricted

Important: Some settings you choose in the configurator will:

• Carry forward to funded

• Or be fixed (like no profit target)

13. Review Final Configuration

Before purchase, check:

• Step type

• Rules selected

• Payout conditions

• Price

Every change affects:

• Difficulty

• Risk

• Cost

---

✅ Final Understanding

You are customizing:

• Risk (drawdown, leverage)

• Difficulty (profit target, consistency, days)

• Payout behavior (frequency, split)

The configurator lets you build a challenge that matches your trading style, instead of adjusting yourself to fixed rules.
