TradersYard, a prop trading firm based in Vienna, discontinues its FX/CFD challenges after September 30, 2026 and makes futures challenges its primary focus, the firm said in a press release on September 22. From October 1, the TradersYard futures challenge is the firm’s main product. Traders holding an FX or CFD challenge with the firm are the ones affected.
What TradersYard announced
In the press release distributed by GlobeNewswire, the firm gave three reasons for the move: growth in its futures challenges over recent months, a funding round announced in July 2026 led by Andromeda Capital Partners Suisse AG, and its own CME market data distribution license. TradersYard says it is among the first prop firms to hold one.
The release also says the firm built its trading technology in-house and is onboarding its first business clients for that software. Andromeda, the lead investor, also backs MetroTrade, a US futures broker. The release calls the two independent businesses.
| Until September 30, 2026 | After September 30, 2026 | |
|---|---|---|
| FX/CFD challenges | Sold | Discontinued |
| Futures challenges | Sold | Primary focus |
What the release leaves out
The announcement gives an end date and nothing else about the FX/CFD side. It does not say what happens to open FX/CFD evaluations, funded FX/CFD accounts, pending payout requests or challenges bought but not started. It publishes no futures plan terms either: no prices, drawdown type, daily loss limit or payout split. Traders with an open FX or CFD account should ask the firm in writing and keep the reply.
What an evaluation is
A TradersYard challenge, like any prop firm evaluation, is a paid service with simulated trading. The firm describes its own accounts as simulated. Rules and payouts depend on the firm’s terms, which can change, and most people who buy an evaluation do not pass it.
