Doc Summary 
At The Upside Funding, we value responsible risk management over reckless trading. While we offer flexibility in trading styles, we do not allow strategies that create excessive risk, manipulate execution, or exploit the platform in unrealistic ways. Please closely review our prohibited trading practices before beginning.
High-risk trading behaviors that can result in account termination include:
- Gambling-style trades – Taking large, random positions with no risk management.
- Overleveraging – Using extreme position sizes that risk immediate account breaches.
- Latency arbitrage & exploitative trading – Attempting to take advantage of execution delays or pricing differences.
- Hedging across accounts – Placing opposite trades in multiple accounts to artificially reduce risk.
What happens if I use these strategies?
- If detected during evaluation – Your challenge will be failed, and you will need to purchase a new challenge.
- If detected in a funded account – Your account may be closed, and any payouts forfeited.
We support traders who take calculated risks, manage their capital effectively, and approach the markets with discipline. Reckless trading is not rewarded—we look for traders who can grow sustainably and scale up to $1.5M in capital.
