Upcomers

Upcomers is a Dubai-headquartered prop firm that sells three kinds of funded account: half-step, 1-step and 2-step challenges, instant funding with no evaluation, and time-limited instant funding accounts (SUPERNOVA, HYPERNOVA and ULTRANOVA) that must hit their target inside a 24-hour, 4-hour or 1-hour window. Challenge and instant accounts go up to $1,500,000, and the Scaling Plan adds 35% every 4 months up to $4,000,000. The standard profit split is 90%, and traders can pick 80% or 100% at checkout, which changes the price. Upcomers offers forex, crypto, indices, commodities and stocks on MetaTrader 5, cTrader, TradeLocker and Match-Trader, plus CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX futures on its own Upcomers X platform.

The Upcomers challenge rules differ by program. Ash needs a 2% profit target, Thunderbolt 5%, both with a 3% daily drawdown and a 6% trailing drawdown (the Dynamic Risk Shield). Ignite also targets 5% but with a 4% daily and 6% static drawdown; Phoenix is a 2-step at 4% per phase with 6% static; Surge asks 5% then 4% with 7% static. Classic versions have no time limit and no minimum trading days; Turbo versions carry a 30-day limit. On instant funding, Vanguard runs a 4% daily and 7% trailing drawdown, Oracle 4% and 5%, and Ember has no daily limit and a 4% trailing drawdown. News trading, weekend and overnight holding, and EAs running a unique strategy are allowed; hedging, even within one account, grid trading, latency trading and account sharing are prohibited.

Payouts need at least 1% profit and a $45 withdrawable balance, and a 20% consistency rule (the Best Day Rule) delays but never breaches. Payout caps rise with each fully approved payout. The help centre describes a 24–48 hour risk review before processing. Bank payouts cost $19.90 + 2.49% and crypto $19.90 + 30%. A full refund is available within 14 days if no trade was opened, and Challenge accounts earn a bonus of 200% of the fee after three fully approved payouts. Account prices are not published on the challenge plans page.

Prop Firm Pal has not verified Upcomers, so this is not an endorsement: it is what the record shows. Its own pages name the operating company as Royal Flow - FZCO, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Its website has been active in Prop Firm Pal's monthly traffic record since November 2025, and traffic over the last three months is growing fast. Its payout policy is published, and summarised on the Payouts tab.

Prop Firm Pal has tracked Upcomers's website traffic every month since November 2025. In August 2026 the site received an estimated 869.67K visits, broadly flat on the month before and up 65% over three months.

Growth of this size usually means active marketing rather than anything about payout reliability. A firm can grow quickly and still have strict rules.

These are third-party estimates of website visits, collected once a month and stored against the month they describe. They are not trader counts, funded-account numbers or revenue.

Measured on estimated monthly website visits for August 2026, Upcomers ranks 21 of the 477 prop firms Prop Firm Pal tracks — larger than 96% of them, at roughly 869.67K visits a month.

The ranking covers every firm measured between June 2026 and August 2026, each on its own latest reading in that window. Firms last measured before June 2026 are left out rather than shown with a stale figure, so the total moves month to month.

Size is not quality. A large firm is one that markets successfully, and several of the most visited firms in this ranking have the strictest rules; some of the smallest pay out reliably to everyone who asks. What the ranking is useful for is scale — whether you are looking at an established operation or something very new.
