Noticed by PFW
We found it on 7 November 2026, reading HyroTrader's checkout, trading rules, terms and FAQ again; our previous reading of them was on 2 November.

Changed between , our last reading of the earlier state, and , our first reading of the new one. These are the days we read the pages, not proof of when the change took effect.

What this means

The FAQ dates the change by purchase: One-Step challenges bought before 5 November 2026 keep the 6% maximum loss with a 4-day minimum, and those bought before 4 November keep 5 days. A wider maximum loss lowers the difficulty ratio and the fee per $1,000 of opening risk on our One-Step pages.
