# Withdrawal Rules

After completing the challenge stages, you transition to a funded account where you begin trading with real capital. This section describes the conditions and rules for profit withdrawal at this stage.

***

## ✅ Withdrawal Request Requirements

To be eligible to withdraw profit from a funded account, you must:

* Complete a minimum of 14 calendar days in the calculation period.
* Have at least 5 profitable trading days during this period.
* Not violate the established risk parameters.
* After transitioning to a funded account, a 14-calendar-day countdown begins before the first withdrawal is possible.
* After each successful withdrawal, a new 14-calendar-day countdown begins, after which you can submit the next withdrawal request.
* Withdrawal is possible on any day after these 14 days have elapsed.
* **Amount:** from 1 USD to the available profit value (subject to limits below).
* **Free margin:** the amount must be available as Free Margin (not used in trades).
* **Wallet:** you must provide a wallet address to receive USDT.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Use only non-custodial wallets — exchange addresses may restrict transfers or access to funds.
{% endhint %}

## 💰 Withdrawal Limits by Account Size

Each trading period on a funded account, you can withdraw profit only within the established percentage of the starting capital:

| Account Size | Maximum Limit, % | Maximum Limit, $ |
| ------------ | ---------------- | ---------------- |
| $5,000       | 50%              | $2,500           |
| $10,000      | 40%              | $4,000           |
| $25,000      | 40%              | $10,000          |
| $50,000      | 25%              | $12,500          |
| $100,000     | 20%              | $20,000          |
| $200,000     | 15%              | $30,000          |

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important:** The limit is calculated from the **starting capital** of the account, not the current balance.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** For traders with existing $1,000 accounts, a limit of **50%** ($500 per period) applies.
{% endhint %}

### 📋 Examples

**Example 1: $10,000 Account**

* Maximum withdrawal limit: **40%** = **$4,000**
* You've earned $2,000 → you can withdraw the **full amount** ($2,000)
* You've earned $6,000 → you can only withdraw **$4,000**, the remaining $2,000 carries over to the next period

**Example 2: $200,000 Account**

* Maximum withdrawal limit: **15%** = **$30,000**
* You've earned $45,000 → you can only withdraw **$30,000**
* The remaining $15,000 can be withdrawn in the next trading period if all conditions are met

{% hint style="warning" %}
If the profit amount exceeds the limit, the remainder stays in your balance and can be used in subsequent trading and profit withdrawal. It increases your safety cushion from maximum drawdown. To withdraw the remainder in the next period, you must re-fulfill all requirements: minimum trading days, profitable days, and compliance with risk parameters.
{% endhint %}

## ⚠️ What if a Risk Parameter is Violated?

* The account is **automatically closed**.
* All profit in the account is **forfeited**.

### 💸 Upscale Commission

A commission of **10%** to **20%** of the withdrawal amount is deducted from each request.

* Before confirmation, you will see the amount to be received **including the commission**.

### ⚠️ Limitation

After submitting one request:

* **You cannot submit another request** until the end of the current period.
* Even if you withdrew only part of the available amount — the window closes until the new period.

## 🛡️ Fair Trading Environment

Upscale operates as a prop trading platform: we provide capital to scale your trading strategy, as long as it is applicable under real market conditions.

This means that trading results must be driven by actual market price movement — not by technical errors, incorrect quotes, or other non-market situations.

{% hint style="info" %}
**What counts as a non-market situation?**

These are cases where a trade cannot be correctly reproduced under normal market conditions. For example:

* Execution at incorrect quotes due to a price feed provider error
* Trades placed during a technical malfunction of the platform
* Operations based solely on exploiting price anomalies in the first seconds of market opening
* Exploiting bugs or incorrect processing logic on the platform
* Situations where the external broker, to whom trades are routed, reverses operations because execution occurred during abnormal market conditions, such as price manipulation on the underlying market
  {% endhint %}

In such rare cases, Upscale may review the results of specific operations or decline a payout if the profit was generated as a direct consequence of a non-market situation.

{% hint style="success" %}
If you trade with a regular market-based strategy, these restrictions do not apply to you. We are committed to helping strong traders grow and scale alongside the platform's capital.

## 📊 How Withdrawal Affects the Account

A decrease in Equity does not affect the determination of daily or overall risk limits.

🧠 **Tip:** Request withdrawal when you're confident in trading stability and compliance with risk requirements.
