Crypto prop firms that trade on Bybit: rules compared (October 2026)
By TradeSurge OpsPublished Updated 4 min read
Key takeaways
HyroTrader and Crypto Fund Trader both offer Bybit. Their published loss limits, targets and payouts, side by side, with sources and dates.
If you trade crypto perpetuals and want a funded account, Bybit is one of the venues several crypto prop firms connect to. This page compares the published rules of two firms that list Bybit as a trading venue: HyroTrader and Crypto Fund Trader.
Everything here comes from each firm's own website as seen on 10 October 2026. Prop firms change their rules often, sometimes without much notice. Treat this as a starting point and read the current rulebook before you buy an evaluation. We are not affiliated with either firm, and this is not a recommendation.

HyroTrader#
From HyroTrader's site (10 October 2026):
| Program | Daily loss limit | Maximum loss | Profit target | Minimum days | Profit split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zero-Step | 3% | 5% | 10% | 1 | 80% |
| One-Step | 4% | 6% | 10% | 5-day minimum evaluation | 80%, can rise to 90% |
| Two-Step | 5% | 10% | 10% then 5% | 5 + 5 days | 80%, can rise to 90% |
Other points the site states:
- Payouts processed "within 24 hours", available once you have at least $100 of profit after the split, paid in USDT or USDC.
- A stop-loss is listed as "not required".
- A separate rule limits low-cap altcoins (market cap under $100M) to under 5% of the initial balance, including leverage.
- Accounts close after 30 days without trading.
What the page does not make clear: whether the loss limits are static or trailing, and exactly how the daily loss is measured (balance or equity, and from what point in the day). Third-party reviews mention trailing drawdown and a maximum loss per trade, but we could not confirm these on the firm's page. Ask the firm before you rely on either.
Crypto Fund Trader#
From Crypto Fund Trader's site (10 October 2026):
| Program | Daily loss limit | Maximum loss | Profit target | Minimum days | Profit split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Instant | 4% | 6% ("maximum overall loss") | Not clearly stated | 0 | 50% rising to 90% by level |
| 1 Phase | 4% | 6% ("maximum trailing loss") | 10% | 0 | 80% |
| 2 Phases | 5% | 10% ("maximum overall loss") | 8% then 5% | 0 | 80% |
Other points the site states:
- The Break program uses a "trailing drawdown", offers on-demand payouts, and has a 40% consistency rule in its live stage, checked at payout time.
- Payout timing for the other programs is not stated on the main page.
Third-party reviews report that Crypto Fund Trader changed its drawdown rules in 2026 and that the daily limit is measured from equity at a fixed UTC time. We could not confirm these details on the firm's main page, so check the current FAQ or ask support.
What to compare before you choose#
Headline percentages hide most of the difference. Before buying, find out for each firm:
- Static or trailing maximum loss, and if trailing, whether it trails balance or equity and whether it ever locks. See trailing drawdown explained.
- How the daily loss is measured: reference point (balance or equity) and reset time.
- Consistency rules: whether one big day can block a payout. See our guide to consistency rules.
- Per-trade or per-coin limits, such as maximum loss per trade or low-cap coin limits.
- Copy trading and multiple accounts: whether you may run several accounts and copy between them.
- Payout rules: minimums, timing, currency and any first-payout conditions.
- Inactivity rules: how long you can go without trading.
Turning the rules into a plan#
Once you know the limits, turn them into numbers you can act on: how many full stops your day allows, and how much room you have before the maximum loss floor. The stops calculator does both from your account size, limits and risk per trade.
If you run accounts at both firms on Bybit, TradeSurge lets you watch them in one place, size a trade per account, and have Breach Guard stop new entries and flatten before each firm's line. You set each account's limits from its own rulebook. See venues.
FAQ#
Do these firms give you a real Bybit account?#
HyroTrader's site says trading takes place on simulated (demo) accounts on real exchange market data, with the option to connect your own Bybit or BloFin demo account. Check each firm's terms for funded-stage details.
Which firm has the lower daily loss limit?#
On the published tables, HyroTrader's Zero-Step has the tightest daily limit (3%); both firms use 4–5% on their other programs. How the limit is measured matters as much as the number.
Can I trade any coin?#
Both firms publish instrument lists and may restrict some coins or leverage. HyroTrader limits exposure to low-cap altcoins. Check the current lists.
Are these rules current?#
