Your Path to Becoming a Funded Trader with NYS
At NYS Markets, we give traders the opportunity to prove their skills and trade with funded capital.
Follow a simple process: choose your challenge, demonstrate your strategy, and earn rewards from your performance.
Choose Your Challenge
Start by selecting the account size and challenge type that fits your trading style.
You can choose from multiple account sizes and evaluation models designed to test your discipline and risk management.
Once you complete your purchase, you will receive your trading credentials and immediate access to your dashboard, where you can track performance, statistics, and progress.
What you get from day one:
- Access to your trading account
- Your NYS Dashboard
- Trading analytics and performance metrics
- Access to the NYS Academy
- Your personal Trading Journal
Prove Your Trading Skills
This phase is where you demonstrate that you can trade profitably while respecting risk rules.
Your objective is simple:
- Reach the profit target
- Respect the maximum drawdown rules
- Follow the trading guidelines
Our evaluation is designed to reward consistency, discipline, and risk management, just like professional traders operate.
Become a Funded Trader
Once you successfully complete the evaluation, you will receive your NYS Funded Account.
This means you can continue trading under the same risk parameters — but now you are eligible to earn rewards from the profits you generate.
Earn Rewards From Your Performance
As you trade your funded account, you can request withdrawals from the profits generated.
Our system allows you to:
- Request payouts directly from your dashboard
- Track all rewards through your account panel
- Continue trading and scaling your performance
The more consistent your trading results are, the more you can grow within the NYS ecosystem.
