A request can be submitted on any day once that period has elapsed.\n\n### Trading iterations\n\nEvery payout closes the current trading iteration and opens a new one. The starting balance of the new iteration is the account balance after the payout is deducted, and the maximum drawdown threshold is recalculated from it.\n\nThat gives the eligibility condition for the next payout: **the current balance has to be above the starting balance of the current iteration**. While the balance sits at that level or below, no request can be made — even with the profit days earned and the 14 days elapsed.\n\nThe condition governs eligibility only and does not cap the amount: that is still set by the limit on the account's original notional.\n\n### Payout networks\n\nPayouts are made in USDT on one of three networks: **TON**, **Base** or **BSC (BNB Smart Chain)**.\n\nBefore requesting a withdrawal, make sure your wallet supports the chosen network — sending to an address on an unsupported network can result in the loss of funds.\n\n{% hint style=\"warning\" %}\nUse non-custodial wallets only: exchange addresses may restrict transfers or access to funds.\n{% endhint %}\n\n---\n\n## Withdrawal limits\n\nIn a single trading period, profit can be withdrawn from a funded account up to a set percentage of the account's starting balance.\n\n| Account size | Limit, % | Limit, $ |\n|---|---|---|\n| $5,000 | 50% | $2,500 |\n| $10,000 | 40% | $4,000 |\n| $25,000 | 40% | $10,000 |\n| $50,000 | 25% | $12,500 |\n| $100,000 | 20% | $20,000 |\n| $200,000 | 15% | $30,000 |\n\n{% hint style=\"info\" %}\nThe limit is calculated from the account's starting balance, not the current one.

Payout networks Payouts are made in USDT on one of three networks: TON , Base or BSC (BNB Smart Chain) . Before requesting a withdrawal, make sure your wallet supports the chosen network — sending to an address on an unsupported network can result in the loss of funds.

Existing $1,000 accounts have a 50% limit, which is $500 per period. For restored funded accounts. If an account was restored with a balance below the original one, only the amount above the original starting balance counts as profit available for payout: the difference has to be made up by trading results first. The percentage withdrawal limit is also measured from the original starting balance rather than the restoration balance. This is covered in detail on the Funded Account Restoration page. Example: two consecutive payouts on a $100,000 account The starting balance is $100,000 and the limit on a single payout is 20% of the notional, or $20,000. First payout. The balance grows to $130,000. The trader requests $20,000 — the maximum the limit allows. After the deduction, $110,000 remains on the account. New iteration. $110,000 becomes the iteration's starting balance and the baseline for the next payout. While the balance stays at $110,000 or below, no request can be made, even with the profit days and the period satisfied. Second payout. The balance rises to $115,000 and the condition is met. The amount available is still up to $20,000, not $5,000: the limit is measured against the $100,000 notional, not against the gap between the current balance and the iteration's starting balance. The limit is always calculated from the funded account's original notional, regardless of how many iterations have passed or what the current iteration's starting balance has become. Profit above the limit stays on the balance and remains available for trading. To withdraw it later, every requirement has to be met again: the length of the period, the profit days, compliance with the risk parameters and a balance above the iteration's starting balance. Platform fee A fee of 10% to 20% of the withdrawal amount is deducted from each request, matching the profit split scheme in force on the account. The amount you will receive, with the fee applied, is shown before you confirm the request. Restrictions One request per period. After a request is submitted, no further request can be made until the next period begins — even if only part of the available amount was withdrawn. A breach of risk parameters. The account closes automatically and all accumulated profit is forfeited. A fair trading environment Upscale operates a trading challenge model: the platform provides access to accounts with a defined notional amount, risk limits and rules, and payouts are calculated from the trading result. That result has to come from market price movement — not from technical errors, incorrect quotes or other non market situations. What counts as a non market situation Execution at incorrect quotes caused by a price provider error. Trades placed during a technical failure of the platform. Operations based solely on exploiting price anomalies in the first seconds after a market opens. Exploiting bugs or faulty operation processing logic on the platform. Cases where the external broker cancels operations because execution took place during abnormal market conditions — for example, price manipulation on the underlying market. In these rare cases Upscale may review the result of individual operations or decline a payout if the profit came specifically from a non market situation. None of this affects a trader running a normal market strategy. The platform's interest is in strong traders growing steadily and moving on to accounts with a larger notional. How a withdrawal affects the account A withdrawal reduces the balance, and from that point the rules of the current iteration are measured from the new figure: the maximum drawdown threshold is recalculated from the new iteration's starting balance. The limits themselves do not change — the daily and maximum drawdown percentages stay exactly as they were at the start of the account. Only the level they are measured from moves. The limits are defined on the Challenge & Trading Rules page. Request a withdrawal when you are confident in the consistency of your trading and in meeting the risk requirements."}
