Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • Static (non-trailing) drawdown fixed at the initial balance across all stages; no minimum trading days and no time limit on the 1 Step and 2 Step evaluations; zero trading-strategy restrictions during the evaluation phases (drawdown limits aside); weekend and overnight holding permitted with no forced closures; 18% bonus paid on gains made during the evaluation; free replacement challenge account of the same size if a funded account breaches after the first reward; Prime model carries no consistency rule on either the challenge or the funded phase.
  • Three programs (Instant, 1-Step, 2-Step). Up to $150,000 simulated capital. 80% profit split scaling to 100%. Weekly payouts within 24h. Available in 190+ countries. MT5, Match Trader and TradingView. NYS Academy education + Smart Journal + NYS GPT. Premium Programme scaling to $2M. Spin & Trade reward feature.
Main Drawbacks
  • TrustPilot has made the firm's rating unavailable for a breach of its guidelines and states it removed a number of fake reviews, so no independent TrustPilot score is available; challenge prices are not shown on the marketing site and are only reachable through the WooCommerce product pages; the Prime model prohibits hedging entirely and blocks new positions within 5 minutes either side of major news; the Classic model applies a 30% consistency rule at the funded stage unless the Express Pro add-on is bought; the evaluation fee is only refunded after the second reward, not the first; each soft breach permanently reduces the profit split by 10% and forfeits bonus and refund eligibility.
  • Instant program enforces 15% consistency rule and 1% max open risk. 2-Step required reaching 8% then 5% with tight risk caps. Founders/UBO not publicly listed. Saint Lucia tech entity (NYS Markets Ltd) + Hong Kong operator (NYS Corp Limited) — offshore structure, unregulated.
