Rules and Trading Objectives
Every rule is published open-source and enforced automatically by the protocol. What you see here is exactly how Beanstock Trading operates.
The Beanstock Trading challenge is one step. Rules are consistent across all account sizes.
| Rule | Parameter |
|---|---|
| Profit Target | 10% of starting account balance |
| Daily Loss Limit | 5% — account equity cannot drop more than 5% from the day's opening equity at any point during the day |
| EOD Trailing Loss Limit | 5% — end-of-day equity cannot drop more than 5% from the end-of-day high water mark |
| Time Limit | None — but 30 consecutive days of inactivity will result in elimination |
| Challenge Phases | 1 |
| Trading Day Reset | 00:00 UTC |
| News Trading | Allowed |
| Minimum Trading Days | None |
| Consistency Criteria | None |
| Weekend Trading | Allowed |
| Tradable Pairs | 60 predefined pairs across crypto, commodities, indices, and stocks — see full list on the rules page |
Breaching either drawdown rule results in immediate challenge termination. You may re-register at any time.
There are 60 tradable pairs across crypto, commodities, indices, and stocks. Although you can trade any pair on Hyperliquid, only these 60 predefined pairs are tracked and counted toward your Hyperscaled trading performance.
Crypto (31)
Commodities (7)
Indices (3)
Stocks (19)
Beanstock Trading expresses leverage as buying power rather than traditional leverage ratios. The limits below define how much of your account balance you can deploy — per single position, and across your entire portfolio at once.
- Single Position Buying Power — the maximum you can allocate to any trading pair at a time.
- Total Portfolio Buying Power — the maximum combined exposure you can have across all open positions at once.
All limits are enforced automatically by the platform.
Buying Power by Account Size
| Starting Account Size | Challenge Leverage Tier | Funded Leverage Tier |
|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | A | B |
| $5,000 | A | B |
| $10,000 | A | B |
| $25,000 | A | B |
| $50,000 | A | B |
| $100,000 | A | B |
| $200,000 | — | C |
| $300,000 | — | C |
| $400,000 | — | C |
Leverage Limits by Tier
| Leverage Tier | Single Position | Portfolio |
|---|---|---|
| A | 0.5x | 2x |
| B | 1x | 2x |
| C | 1.5x | 3x |
The only trading cost charged by Hyperscaled is a flat transaction fee. Spread, slippage, and funding come directly from the underlying Hyperliquid orderbook.
| Rule | Parameter |
|---|---|
| Bid-Ask Spread | From Hyperliquid |
| Transaction Fees | 0.05% (or 5 bps) |
| Slippage | Based on Hyperliquid orderbook |
| Funding Fees | Follows real Hyperliquid settlement mechanics. When the funding rate is positive, longs pay and shorts receive. When negative, longs receive and shorts pay. |
Once you pass the challenge, your scaled account is activated immediately. These rules apply for the duration of your scaled trading.
| Rule | Parameter |
|---|---|
| Daily Loss Limit | 8% from the day's opening equity |
| EOD Trailing Loss Limit | 8% from end-of-day high water mark |
| Profit Target | None — no profit target on scaled accounts |
| Payout Cycle | Monthly |
| Profit Split | 100% — Hyperscaled takes 0%, including on scaled accounts |
| Inactivity | 30 consecutive days with no trades results in account elimination |
| Account Breach Consequence | Funded account is closed. You may re-enter the challenge at any time. |
Consistent performance on your scaled account unlocks access to progressively larger account sizes, up to a maximum of $400K. Scaling is automatic and based on performance thresholds — no application required, no additional fees.

Not every risk leads to disqualification. Here is what does and does not end your challenge or scaled account.
What causes disqualification
- Breaching the daily loss limit (5% during the challenge / 8% when scaled)
- Breaching the EOD trailing loss limit (5% during the challenge / 8% when scaled)
- Attempting to manipulate challenge performance (wash trading, coordinated cross-account hedging)
- Martingale and martingale-like strategies (progressively increasing position size after losses)
- 30 consecutive days of inactivity (no trades placed)
What does not cause disqualification
- Trading during news events
- Holding positions overnight
- Trading any perpetual available on Hyperliquid — only the 60 predefined pairs are tracked toward your performance
- Taking time off — there is no minimum trading frequency, but 30 days of inactivity results in elimination
- Using algorithmic or automated trading strategies
- Any drawdown within the defined limits
KYC & Payout Eligibility
KYC is not required to register, trade, or complete the challenge. It is required only to receive a payout.
When your scaled account reaches payout eligibility at the end of a 30-day cycle, you will be prompted to complete a brief identity verification to unlock payouts. Payouts are then sent in USDC directly to your connected wallet. The entire payout flow is automated and verifiable onchain.
Protocol Transparency
All rules are enforced programmatically by the Beanstock Trading protocol. There is no back office, no discretionary review committee, and no ability to override outcomes. Any rule changes are published publicly before taking effect.
