📅 Profitable Day

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

• The balance change between the start and the end of the day must be ≥ 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 the unrealized PnL of open positions. If you have accumulated unrealized profit on an open position:

• This profit is gradually reflected in your balance each day as it grows
• If the position remains open — it continues to affect the daily balance change
• When you close the position — unrealized profit becomes realized, but this does not affect the balance itself (the balance has already accounted for that profit)

Example:

• Initial balance = $10,000
• Day 1: You opened a position, unrealized profit +$500 → balance = $10,500
• Day 2: Position closed with realized profit of $500 → balance remains $10,500

Accordingly:

• Day 1 was profitable (delta +$500)
• Day 2 was neutral (delta 0, the position already produced profit on Day 1)

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

🕐 Trading day: The day count is based on UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). A new trading day starts at 00:00 UTC. All daily balance change calculations — including the determination of a profitable day — are tied to this time.

📉 Risk Parameters

🔋 Maximum Daily Loss

For Basic challenge (5%)

• Maximum daily drawdown: 5% of the initial capital (counted from the balance at the start of the day)
• This limit is independent of previous days — 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 moment during the day, the account will be immediately disqualified

For Accelerated challenge (3%)

• Maximum daily drawdown: 3% of the initial capital (counted from the balance at the start of the day)

Example:

• Initial balance = $10,000
• Maximum daily drop = $300 (3%)
• If the balance drops to $9,700 or below at any moment during the day, the account will be immediately disqualified

Loss from the previous day does not affect the limit of the next day — each day is calculated independently. A new trading day starts at 00:00 UTC, and the daily drawdown resets to zero.

🪫 Maximum Total Loss

For Basic challenge (10%)

• The maximum allowed total loss during the entire evaluation period is 10% of the initial balance

Example:

• Initial balance = $10,000
  → If the balance ever drops to $9,000 or below, the challenge is failed

For Accelerated challenge (6%)

• The maximum allowed total loss during the entire evaluation period is 6% of the initial balance

Example:

• Initial balance = $10,000
  → If the balance ever drops to $9,400 or below, the challenge is failed

For Turbo (6% of the maximum balance)

• The maximum allowed total loss is calculated from the maximum balance reached during the entire trading period

Step-by-step example:

• Day 1: Starting balance = $10,000
• Day 5: Balance grew to $12,000 → this becomes the new maximum balance
• Maximum loss is now = 6% of $12,000 = -$720
• Minimum allowed balance = $12,000 - 6% = $11,280
• If the balance drops to $11,279 or below → the account will be closed

After a profit withdrawal:

• Day 15: Withdrawal of $1,000 → remaining balance $11,000
• New maximum balance is now = $11,000
• New minimum allowed balance = $11,000 - 6% = $10,340
• Maximum drawdown is limited to -$660 instead of the previous -$720

💼 Funded Account

Risk parameters after passing the challenge

⚠️ Important: Risk parameters on the funded account depend on which challenge type you passed, or on the Turbo option!

💡 Important: Profitable days can be accumulated without any time limit.

💰 Profit Split

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

Standard split (80/20)

By default, the following profit split applies:

• Trader receives: 80% of the profit
• Upscale receives: 20% of the profit

Example:

• Profit for the period: $1,000
• Your payout: $800 (80%)
• Upscale fee: $200 (20%)

💎 Optional 90/10 upgrade

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

• Trader receives: 90% of the profit
• Upscale receives: 10% of the profit

💡 This is especially advantageous for active traders with consistent profitability — the additional 10% significantly increases the final payout.

Payment period and withdrawal conditions

The payment period is the time interval starting from:

• The purchase/launch of the account (for the first payout)
• Or the most recent successful withdrawal

To request a withdrawal, the trader must:

• Reach at least 5 Profitable Days within the current payment period
• Comply with all risk parameters (daily and total loss)
• Meet the 30% rule condition (for Turbo, see below)
• No open positions on RWA markets during the market pause: at the moment of the withdrawal request, all positions on paused RWA markets (Forex, Commodity) must be closed

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

📊 Maximum allocation

The maximum total capital available to a single trader on the funded stage is $400,000. This is a combined cap across all simultaneously active funded accounts.

You can purchase and pass challenges of any size — the limit only applies to the funded stage.

Examples of valid combinations:

• 2 × $200,000 = $400,000 ✅
• 4 × $100,000 = $400,000 ✅
• 1 × $200,000 + 2 × $100,000 = $400,000 ✅
• 1 × $200,000 + 1 × $100,000 + 2 × $50,000 = $400,000 ✅

This approach allows the platform to maintain a sustainable model of risk management and trade execution, while letting traders run multiple strategies across several challenges simultaneously.

⚠️ The 30% rule (withdrawal limitation)

This restriction applies only to the Turbo challenge (instant funding). If the most profitable day in the current payment period accounts for 30% or more of the total profit — withdrawal will be unavailable until you accumulate additional profit.

Step-by-step example:

Suppose you completed 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
• Share of the most profitable day = $1,500 / $2,500 = 60% ❌

⛔️ Withdrawal temporarily unavailable

Why? Because $1,500 makes up 60% of total profit, which is above the 30% limit.

Solution: build up additional profit

For the day with $1,500 to make up exactly 30% of the total, the following must hold:

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

Additional profit needed:

• $5,000 - $2,500 = $2,500

After adding $2,500 in new profit:

• New total profit = $5,000
• Share of the large trade = $1,500 / $5,000 = 30% ✅

✅ Withdrawal becomes available

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

Violations on the funded account

• Failure to meet the Profitable Days requirement:

  • The account remains active, trading can continue
  • Withdrawal is not allowed until the requirement is met

• Breach of risk limits (Daily drawdown or Maximum drawdown):

  • Immediate account termination
  • The trader loses all accumulated profit

Examples for the funded account

After Basic challenge:

• Initial balance = $10,000
• Maximum daily loss = $500 (5%)
• Minimum allowed balance = $9,000 (10%)

After Accelerated challenge:

• Initial balance = $10,000
• Maximum daily loss = $300 (3%)
• Minimum allowed balance = $9,400 (6%)

For Turbo:

• Initial balance = $10,000
• Maximum loss = 6% of $10,000 = -$600 (calculated from the maximum balance)
• Minimum allowed balance = $9,400 (calculated from the maximum balance)

🔄 Transition between stages

When moving to the next stage (applicable only to the Basic challenge):

• All open positions will be automatically closed at market price
• All pending limit orders are automatically cancelled

🔒 Account termination

In case of account termination:

• All open positions will be force-closed at market price
• All pending limit orders are cancelled
• Access to the account will be permanently revoked
