Each drawdown above is the rule of the plan its own $25k fee buys. The rest of the ladder at that size: 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
Velotrade 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 | HyroTrader | Velotrade | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $249 | $132 code BOTS20 | Velotrade |
| $50k | $379 | $244 code BOTS20 | Velotrade |
| $100k | $579 | $446.40 code BOTS20 | Velotrade |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
Spent on the other firm, that gap buys 0.9 further attempts. The fee is also only the entry cost: at the headline split, HyroTrader has to make $277 of profit before the attempt has paid for itself, and $147 at Velotrade.
| Measure | HyroTrader | Velotrade |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $249 | $132 code BOTS20 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $9.96 | $5.28 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $277 | $147 |
| Account destroyed on a bad day (drawdown in dollars) | $2,500 (10%) | $750 (3%) |
| Drawdown type | Static | 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
At $25k there is $1,750 more room at HyroTrader ($2,500 against $750), which is 7.0 percentage points of the account.
Getting the money out
HyroTrader pays USDT / USDC, Velotrade pays USDC on Arbitrum / USDT on Arbitrum. Timing is not the same either: Within 24 hours against First payout 14 days after the first funded trade, then weekly.
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.
Where they actually differ
- clearing $25k means 10% then 5% (Two-Step) in profit at HyroTrader and 10% (PRO 1-Step) at Velotrade.
- what each one trades, Velotrade: 234 instruments including 104 crypto; HyroTrader: 700+ cryptocurrencies, traded through Bybit or Binance.
- divide each fee by the limit that fee is tested against and HyroTrader costs $24.90 per point of drawdown, Velotrade $44.00: $249 over a 10% limit (Two-Step) against $132 with code BOTS20 over a 3% limit (PRO 1-Step).
The decision rule
If the first attempt is a test rather than a plan, HyroTrader at $9 costs less to be wrong about.
Which one, and for whom
Choose HyroTrader if Crypto traders who want the cheapest evaluation on this list and already trade on Bybit, Binance or BloFin.
