## What this firm publishes

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.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is Upcomers' profit split?

The standard Upcomers profit split is 90%, and it can be changed to 80% or 100% at checkout, which also changes the challenge price. The split chosen stays linked to that account.

### What are the Upcomers challenge rules?

It depends on the program. Ash needs a 2% target and Thunderbolt 5%, both with a 3% daily and 6% trailing drawdown; Phoenix is a 2-step at 4% per phase with a 4% daily and 6% static drawdown. Classic versions have no time limit and no minimum trading days.

### Does Upcomers offer instant funding?

Yes. Vanguard, Oracle and Ember have no evaluation and no profit target. Vanguard allows a 4% daily and 7% trailing drawdown, Oracle 4% and 5%, and Ember has no daily drawdown with a 4% trailing limit.

### What are the Upcomers drawdown rules?

Ash, Thunderbolt and the instant accounts use a trailing Dynamic Risk Shield, while Ignite, Phoenix and Surge use a static maximum loss of 6% or 7%. Funded accounts also may not lose more than 3% of the initial balance on a single trade.

### Does Upcomers have a consistency rule?

Yes, the Best Day Rule: no single day may make up more than 15–20% of total profit, 20% on the main programs. It is a soft rule that delays a payout rather than breaching the account, and it does not apply during evaluation.

### Does Upcomers allow news trading and EAs?

Yes to both. News trading is allowed in every phase, and EAs are allowed when the strategy is unique and follows the rules; HFT, arbitrage, grid trading and hedging are prohibited.

### How do Upcomers payouts work?

A payout needs at least 1% profit on the initial balance, a $45 withdrawable balance and all positions closed. The Risk Team reviews requests within 24–48 hours, and payout caps rise with each fully approved payout.

### What are the Upcomers payout fees?

Bank transfer payouts cost $19.90 + 2.49% and crypto payouts $19.90 + 30%. Traders who paid for more than 50% of their orders in crypto pay the lower rate on crypto payouts.

### Does Upcomers refund the challenge fee?

Yes, within 14 days of purchase if no trade has been opened on that account. Challenge accounts also earn a bonus of 200% of the fee after three fully approved payouts; Instant Funding accounts do not.

### How much does an Upcomers challenge cost?

Upcomers does not list prices on its challenge plans page. Its help centre says the price changes with the profit split chosen at checkout.

### What is the Upcomers maximum allocation?

Traders can hold up to $1,500,000 in funded capital across all programs combined. The Scaling Plan can then grow an account by 35% every 4 months up to $4,000,000.

### Which countries are restricted at Upcomers?

Upcomers does not sell to residents of 19 listed countries and regions, including Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Syria and the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
