$400,000 Instant Lite account at $1,599 from 24 Aug 2026 (Forex, Crypto and Futures); 4% trailing max loss, 3% daily loss, 5% buffer, 15% Best Day rule.
Pakistan (PK) is restricted. FAQ 'Are there any restricted countries?' lists Pakistan, Russia, Cuba, Sudan, Somalia, Iran, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Vietnam and Romania; the list 'may be updated at any time without prior notice'. Terms of Use point to the FAQ as the public list.
Terms of Use (last updated 3 Jun 2026): Hydra Funding Ltd, Saint Lucia; address under 'Who We Are / Contact': Ground Floor, The Sotheby Building, Rodney Village, Rodney Bay, Gros-Islet. No registration number published.
Instant-funding only: no challenges or phases. Per the firm's 19 Oct 2026 post, it opened in 2022 selling challenges, launched futures in April 2025 and stopped selling challenges in March 2026.
One 'Unified Hydra Ruleset' across Forex, Crypto and Futures; tiers differ only in profit buffer, Best Day rule and inactivity period.
Every account keeps the rules it was purchased under.
Combined account size cap of $500,000 at any one time.
'Double Your Account': after 3 successful withdrawals within 180 days from the same Instant account (each at least 5% of starting balance, no breaches), a bonus account of the same size, capped at $100,000.
All accounts are simulated. Futures demo access is listed as 'coming soon'.
The FAQ also lists PropX (Forex, Crypto) and the homepage lists GooeY PRO; neither is in the standard platform list.
What we couldn't verify
The brief said the FAQ shows no restricted-country list, but on 2026-10-30 the FAQ had one (read twice, 11 countries including Pakistan), and the Terms of Use point to it.
Futures platforms are inconsistent: the FAQ lists DxFutures and Volumetrica, but its platform-fee entry names Tradovate, DXTrade or Volumetrica.
Crypto: the FAQ does not say whether instruments are perpetual futures or spot (perps set false, marked unverified); crypto leverage is 1:2 in the FX list but 5:1 BTC/ETH and 2:1 others in the crypto section.
EAs and bots are not addressed directly in the FAQ.
No maximum withdrawal is stated in the FAQ (the $400K Lite post says 'no maximum').
