π When purchasing any challenge, an additional option is available to increase your profit share from 80% to 90%.
π‘ Tip: Start with a smaller account size to test your strategy before scaling up!
π
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)
π 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.
π Challenge Stages

π 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
π 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

π° 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%)
π 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
π‘ 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
β οΈ 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.
β οΈ 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 β 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% β
βοΈ 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% β
β 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)
π 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
π 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
π Choose your strategy β scalping, swing trading, or long-term investing β and manage large capital on competitive terms!
