πŸ’Ž When purchasing any challenge, an additional option is available to increase your profit share from 80% to 90%.

πŸ’‘ Tip: Start with a smaller account size to test your strategy before scaling up!


πŸ“… Profitable Day

For a day to qualify as a Profitable Day, the following conditions must be met:

  • Balance change between the start and end of the day must be β‰₯ 0.5% of the initial balance.

  • This value remains fixed at 0.5% of the initial balance throughout the entire trading period.

How it works in practice:

Your balance is affected by unrealized PnL of open positions. If you have accumulated unrealized profit in an open position:

  • This profit is gradually reflected in your balance each day as it grows

  • If the position remains open β€” it continues to affect daily balance changes

  • When you close the position β€” unrealized profit becomes realized, but this doesn't affect the balance itself (the balance has already accounted for this profit)

Example:

  • Initial balance = $10,000

  • Day 1: You opened a position, unrealized profit +$500 β†’ balance = $10,500

  • Day 2: Position closed with realized profit $500 β†’ balance remains $10,500

Accordingly:

  • Day 1 was profitable (delta +$500)

  • Day 2 was neutral (delta 0, the position already generated profit on Day 1)

πŸ“Œ Key point: a profitable day is calculated regardless of whether orders are open or closed. What matters is how much your balance increased during the day.


πŸš€ Challenge Stages

  • Maximum overall loss: 10%

⚑ Accelerated β€” Fast-Track Challenge (1 Phase)

Single Phase

  • Goal: Achieve 10% profit (realized PnL)

  • Profitable days: At least 3 days

  • Maximum daily loss: 3%

  • Maximum overall loss: 6%

πŸš€ Turbo β€” Instant Funding (directly to funded phase)

No Testing Phase

  • Minimum profit goal: none

  • Profitable days: At least 5 days

  • Maximum overall loss: 6% of maximum balance

  • You start trading on a funded account from day one


πŸ“‰ Risk Parameters

Maximum Daily Loss

For Basic Challenge (5%)

  • On any trading day, the balance must not drop more than 5% from the initial balance

  • This limit is independent of previous days β€” each day is evaluated separately

Example:

  • Initial balance = $10,000

  • Maximum daily drop = $500 (5%)

  • If the balance drops to $9,500 or below at any point during the day, the account will be immediately disqualified

For Accelerated Challenge (3%)

  • On any trading day, the balance must not drop more than 3% from the initial balance

Example:

  • Initial balance = $10,000

  • Maximum daily drop = $300 (3%)

  • If the balance drops to $9,700 or below at any point during the day, the account will be immediately disqualified

Loss from the previous day does not affect the next day's limit β€” each day is calculated independently.

Maximum Overall Loss

For Basic Challenge (10%)

  • Maximum allowable overall loss throughout the entire testing period is 10% of the initial balance

Example:

  • Initial balance = $10,000 β†’ If the balance ever drops to $9,000 or below, the challenge will be failed

For Accelerated Challenge (6%)

  • Maximum allowable overall loss throughout the entire testing period is 6% of the initial balance

Example:

  • Initial balance = $10,000 β†’ If the balance ever drops to $9,400 or below, the challenge will be failed

For Turbo (6% of maximum balance)

  • Maximum allowable overall loss is calculated from the maximum balance achieved over the entire trading period

Example with step-by-step calculation:

  • Day 1: Starting balance = $10,000

  • Day 5: Balance grew to $12,000 β†’ this becomes the new maximum balance

  • Maximum loss now = 6% of $12,000 = -$720

  • Minimum allowable balance = $12,000 - 6% = $11,280

  • If the balance drops to $11,279 or below β†’ account will be closed

After profit withdrawal:

  • Day 15: Withdrawal $1,000 β†’ remaining balance $11,000

  • New maximum balance now = $11,000

  • New minimum allowable balance = $11,000 - 6% = $10,340

  • Maximum drop limited to -$660 instead of the previous -$720

πŸ’° Profit Split

After passing the challenge and receiving a funded account, profit is distributed between the trader and Upscale.

Standard Distribution (80/20)

By default, the following profit distribution applies:

  • Trader receives: 80% of profit

  • Upscale receives: 20% of profit

Example:

  • Profit for the period: $1,000

  • Your payout: $800 (80%)

  • Upscale commission: $200 (20%)

πŸ’Ž Additional 90/10 Option

When purchasing a challenge, you can activate an option that increases your profit share:

  • Trader receives: 90% of profit

  • Upscale receives: 10% of profit

πŸ’‘ This is especially beneficial for active traders with consistent profitability β€” the additional 10% significantly increases total income.


Payment Period and Withdrawal Conditions

Payment period is the time interval from the moment of:

  • Account purchase/launch (if this is the first withdrawal)

  • Or the last successful withdrawal

To request a withdrawal, the trader must:

  • Achieve at least 5 Profitable Days in the current payment period

  • Comply with all risk parameters (daily and overall loss)

  • Fulfill the 30% rule condition (for Turbo, see below)

  • No open positions on RWA markets during pause: At the time of withdrawal request, all positions on paused RWA markets (Forex and Commodity) must be closed

⚠️ Important for RWA traders: If you have open positions on Forex or Commodity pairs during market pause (Friday 21:00 UTC β€” Monday 00:00 UTC), withdrawal request will be unavailable until these positions are closed or markets resume trading.


⚠️ 30% Rule (Withdrawal Restriction)

This restriction only applies to the Turbo challenge (instant funding). If the most profitable day in the current payment period constitutes 30% or more of the total profit β€” withdrawal will be unavailable until you build additional profit.

Example with step-by-step explanation:

Suppose you made 5 profitable days with the following closed profits:

  • Day 1: +$200

  • Day 2: +$300

  • Day 3: +$1,500 ← most profitable day

  • Day 4: +$300

  • Day 5: +$200

Calculation:

  • Total profit = $200 + $300 + $1,500 + $300 + $200 = $2,500

  • Percentage of most profitable day = $1,500 / $2,500 = 60% ❌

⛔️ Withdrawal temporarily unavailable

Why? Because $1,500 constitutes 60% of the total profit, which is more than the 30% limit.

Solution: build additional profit

For the day with $1,500 to constitute exactly 30% of the total amount, we need:

  • $1,500 / New_amount = 0.30

  • New_amount = $1,500 / 0.30 = $5,000

Need to build additional profit:

  • $5,000 - $2,500 = $2,500

After adding $2,500 new profit:

  • New total profit = $5,000

  • Percentage of large trade = $1,500 / $5,000 = 30% βœ…

βœ… Withdrawal becomes available

The rule works like this: the more balanced your trading (without one day with a sharp spike), the faster you can withdraw funds.


Violations on Funded Account

  • Failure to meet Profitable Days requirement:

    • Account remains active, trading can continue

    • Fund withdrawal not allowed until requirement is met

  • Violation of risk limits (Daily Drawdown or Maximum Drawdown):

    • Immediate account termination

    • Trader loses all accumulated profit


Examples for Funded Account

After Basic Challenge:

  • Initial balance = $10,000

  • Maximum daily loss = $500 (5%)

  • Minimum allowable balance = $9,000 (10%)

After Accelerated Challenge:

  • Initial balance = $10,000

  • Maximum daily loss = $300 (3%)

  • Minimum allowable balance = $9,400 (6%)

For Turbo:

  • Initial balance = $10,000

  • Maximum loss = 6% of $10,000 = -$600 (calculated from maximum balance)

  • Minimum allowable balance = $9,400 (calculated from maximum balance)


πŸ”„ Transition Between Phases

When transitioning to the next phase (relevant only for Basic challenge):

  • All open positions must be automatically closed at market price

  • All pending limit orders are automatically cancelled


πŸ”’ Account Termination

In case of account termination:

  • All open positions will be forcibly closed at market price

  • All pending limit orders are cancelled

  • Account access will be permanently revoked
