## What this firm publishes

Upscale is a crypto prop firm that sells a Basic 2-step challenge, an Accelerated 1-step challenge and Turbo instant funding, traded on a TradingView-based terminal in the browser or a Telegram mini-app. Each account is bought for one market: crypto, RWA (forex, gold and silver, WTI crude oil, indices and 24/7 stocks) or ALL. Account sizes run from $5,000 to $200,000, with funded Basic and Accelerated accounts capped at $400,000 combined. Upscale leads with USDT payouts and no KYC, although its terms of use require a KYC check before any withdrawal and exclude US residents.

The Upscale rules change with the format. Basic sets a 5% profit target in Stage 1 and 8% in Stage 2, with a 5% daily drawdown and 10% maximum drawdown from the starting balance; on $200,000 accounts the maximum drawdown falls to 8% in Stage 2 and once funded. Accelerated asks for 10% with a 3% daily and 6% maximum drawdown. Turbo has no target and no daily limit, but a 6% trailing drawdown from the highest balance. Instead of minimum trading days Upscale counts profit days, each a gain of at least 0.5% of the starting balance: 3 in Basic Stage 1 and Accelerated, 5 in Basic Stage 2. There is no time limit. Turbo carries a 30% consistency rule, and bots are allowed only with the paid API Trading option. News trading is permitted, and hedging is allowed inside one account but not across accounts.

The default profit split is 80%, or 90% with an add-on bought with the challenge. The first withdrawal opens 14 calendar days after funding and the count restarts after each payout, with 5 profit days needed per period. Payouts are paid in USDT on TON, Base or BSC, which Upscale says takes up to 48 hours. Challenge fees are published: Basic from $59 to $1,499, Accelerated from $69 to $1,599 and Turbo from $199 to $1,099, depending on size and market. Daily drawdown protection and API Trading each add 15% of the base price. No refund policy is published; the terms let Upscale refund a fee and end the service at its sole discretion.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is Upscale's profit split?

Upscale pays an 80% profit split by default. A 90% split is available as an add-on bought together with the challenge; its price was not found on the pages read.

### How much does an Upscale challenge cost?

Upscale publishes its challenge fees, which depend on account size and market. Basic costs $59 to $1,499, Accelerated $69 to $1,599 and Turbo $199 to $1,099; for example, a $100,000 crypto Basic challenge is $799. The optional daily drawdown protection and API Trading are charged at 15% of the challenge price before discounts.

### What are the Upscale challenge rules?

The Basic 2-step challenge needs 5% profit in Stage 1 and 8% in Stage 2, with a 5% daily and 10% maximum drawdown (8% in Stage 2 and funded on $200,000 accounts). The Accelerated 1-step challenge needs 10% with a 3% daily and 6% maximum drawdown. There is no time limit, but each stage needs 3 or 5 profit days of at least 0.5%.

### Does Upscale offer instant funding?

Yes. Turbo opens straight into a funded account at $5,000, $10,000 or $25,000, priced from $199 to $1,099. It has no profit target or daily drawdown, but a 6% trailing drawdown from the highest balance and a 30% consistency rule on withdrawals.

### Does Upscale have a consistency rule?

Only on some accounts. Turbo and accounts with the API Trading option have a 30% rule: if the most profitable day is 30% or more of total profit, withdrawal is blocked until more profit dilutes it. Standard Basic and Accelerated accounts have no consistency rule.

### Does Upscale allow news trading and EAs?

News trading is allowed. Bots and automated trading are prohibited unless you buy the API Trading option on a $10,000 or larger account, which also applies a 60-second profit adjustment and the 30% rule.

### How do Upscale payouts work?

The first withdrawal opens 14 calendar days after the account is funded, and a new 14-day period starts after each payout, with 5 profit days needed each time. Payouts are sent in USDT on TON, Base or BSC from a $1 minimum, and Upscale says processing takes up to 48 hours.

### Does Upscale require KYC?

Upscale advertises trading without KYC, but its terms of use require a KYC check before any withdrawal. The terms describe a passport photo page and a live selfie reviewed by a third-party provider.

### Which countries are restricted at Upscale?

Upscale's terms of use exclude US residents, so it does not accept US clients. The terms also exclude residents of countries under US, UK or EU embargoes or sanctions.

### How many accounts can you have at Upscale?

There is no count limit, but funded Basic and Accelerated accounts are capped at $400,000 combined, counted from starting balances. Turbo accounts do not count toward the cap, and an account that reaches funded above it is paused.

### Does Upscale refund the challenge fee?

No refund policy was found on the pages read. The terms say Upscale may refund a challenge fee and end the service at its sole discretion during any challenge phase.

### Is Upscale legit?

Upscale did not name a legal entity or a licence on the pages read; its FAQ says the platform operates from Dubai. Its terms require KYC before withdrawals and let it refund a fee and end the service at its sole discretion during any challenge phase.
