We provide traders with access to real funding, up to $1.5M, and unmatched mentorship to help them succeed. Unlike other firms, our focus is on transparency, flexibility, and helping you grow as a trader.
How does the 1:1 mentorship help me scale?
Our 1:1 mentorship is designed to help funded traders scale their accounts effectively.

This personalized guidance gives you the tools to grow your capital and confidence.
What makes Upside Funding low risk?
With Upside Funding, the only risk is your challenge fee. There are no margin calls, no negative balances, and no hidden charges. Pass the challenge, and your fee is refunded after your second payout. We cover the downside, so you can focus on trading with peace of mind.
Why are your trading rules so flexible?
Our rules are built for traders to succeed. There are no consistency requirements, static drawdowns make risk management simpler, and there’s no mandatory stop-loss. You can trade news, hold positions over the weekend, and use EAs or bots. We give you the freedom to trade your way.
How do payouts and profit splits work?
Payouts are processed within 24 hours—fast, reliable, and hassle-free. You can earn up to 90% of your profits, ensuring you keep the majority of what you make. At Upside Funding, we prioritize your success by making payouts and profit sharing as simple as possible.
