The rest of the ladder at that size: Funded Trader Markets: Instant Standard at $97 (5% of room) and 2 Step Plus at $98 (10% of room); HyroTrader: Hyro Core at $99 (5% of room), One-Step at $299 (8% of room) and Hyro Instant at $699 (5% of room).
Which is cheaper, size by size
Funded Trader Markets is cheaper at 3 of the 3 sizes where both publish a price. Comparing the entry tier alone hides that: fee ladders do not scale at the same rate, so the cheaper start can become the dearer account.
| Account size | Funded Trader Markets | HyroTrader | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $59 | $249 | Funded Trader Markets |
| $50k | $120 | $379 | Funded Trader Markets |
| $100k | $249 | $579 | Funded Trader Markets |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
The $190 gap is 3.2 cheap attempts at the HyroTrader fee. The fee is also only the entry cost: at the headline split, Funded Trader Markets has to make $66 of profit before the attempt has paid for itself, and $277 at HyroTrader.
| Measure | Funded Trader Markets | HyroTrader |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $59 | $249 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $2.36 | $9.96 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $66 | $277 |
| Account destroyed on a bad day (drawdown in dollars) | $1,500 (6%) | $2,500 (10%) |
| Drawdown type | Trailing | Static |
Cost per $1,000, the break-even profit and the cost of 1% of drawdown are our arithmetic from each firm's published fee, split and limit; each drawdown figure is the firm's own percentage for the plan that fee buys, applied to a $25,000 balance.
The rule that ends most attempts
HyroTrader measures drawdown from a fixed floor, while Funded Trader Markets trails it - so a profitable run can leave the second account closer to its line than the balance suggests. At $25k there is $1,000 more room at HyroTrader ($2,500 against $1,500), which is 4.0 percentage points of the account.
Getting the money out
Funded Trader Markets pays USDC / USDT / BTC / ETH / SOL / Rise, HyroTrader pays USDT / USDC. Timing is not the same either: 24-hour guarantee, average around 20 minutes against Within 24 hours.
Worth checking against your own cash-flow: a fast rail that pays into an account you then have to move is not the same as one that lands where you spend it.
