Vest charges $15 for a two-stage crypto perp test. Hyro costs $2.10 more for one stage
Both evaluations start traders with a simulated $5,000. Vest allows $300 in total losses. HyroTrader allows $250 and limits how much of its profit target a trader can earn in one day.
Vest Capital charges $15 to try to earn a payout trading simulated crypto perps. HyroTrader charges $17.10 for its Core evaluation after a 10% discount. Both start with $5,000 on screen and ask the trader to earn $500. At HyroTrader, that clears the only profit target. At Vest, it earns a fresh $5,000 account and a second target of $250.
| Profit targets | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Vest Capital Silver 2-Step | $15 | $500, then $250 | $4,700 |
| HyroTrader Core | $17.10 with discount | $500 | $4,750 |
How much room each trader gets
Vest gives traders more room to absorb a loss. Its fixed 6% limit puts the equity floor at $4,700 in each stage. Hyro Core’s 5% limit puts its floor $50 higher, at $4,750. Neither floor rises after a profitable trade. Both plans also impose a 3% daily loss limit, which can end an attempt before equity reaches the overall floor.
HyroTrader requires at least four trading days and counts up to 40% of the $500 target from any one day. A trader who makes $350 on Monday gets $200 of credit toward the target and still needs $300 on other days. Those rules apply at the discounted price and at the $19 list price.

What happens after a pass
Both firms keep traders on simulated accounts after they pass. The $5,000 is the balance used to calculate gains and losses. Under these plans, each firm offers the trader 80% of eligible simulated profit at the funded stage.
For a U.S. trader, Vest’s payout route leaves an important question open. The United States is absent from the prop program’s list of prohibited jurisdictions. But Vest credits profit claims to a primary exchange account before funds can move to an external wallet, and the exchange terms list the United States as prohibited. The published terms do not establish how a U.S. participant could collect a payout.
