Upside Funding has truly impressed me! Their platform is smooth and beginner-friendly, and what stands out the most is their support team. They respond quickly, guide you professionally, and never leave you hanging. If you want a prop firm that genuinely cares about traders, Upside Funding is the one. Highly recommended!

My wife (Adelle – see her testimonial on TrustPilot) has been trading for a couple of years and recently took a look at the prop trading industry as she wants to trade others’ capital as well as our own. She researched many prop firms and was disillusioned by the behaviours of some of them. She was about to give up on prop trading when she found The Upside Funding. She’s been very impressed with their approach to this sector, backgrounds of the founders, and their professionalism. I wrote this testimonial today because overnight TUF support team were on hand to advise her on some new technology she is considering. That alone shows a willingness to go beyond the call of duty. While I won’t be prop trading myself, preferring to remain trading options only, credit where credit is due in the prop trading world. I’m looking forward to seeing how pleased Adelle will be when she is funded. Keep up the great work Team TUF!! I’m impressed… and my wife talks about you all the time, so you must be good as she’s hard to please sometimes!!

It an absolute joy to be a funded trader with the upside funding. As someone who has been pursuing trading for many years the upside funding really helps as a prop firm in my journey. They are really care that traders succeed and do well while trading. That was a key factor for me in trading and choosing a prop firm. Being with the upside funding I know through my experience they care for each trader. I can guarantee that through dealing with the staff at the upside funding through their platform or any of their social medias. I really appreciate the effort they put into improving their the trader experience from listening to feedback, to having good trading conditions available. With the support given by them it doesn't feel like any other prop firm, its the best. overall experience A++

Nous utilisons des calculs de limite de drawdown Statique et Trailing basé sur l’équité.

Statique : Le drawdown ne change à aucun moment du challenge. Il est calculé sur la base d’un pourcentage de la valeur initiale du compte.

Trailing basé sur l’équité : Avec cette méthode, la limite est calculée sur la base d’un pourcentage du point d’équité le plus élevé de ton compte.

Le drawdown ne change à aucun moment du challenge. Il est calculé sur la base d’un pourcentage de la valeur initiale du compte.

Calcul du Drawdown Journalier Statique : Si tu as un compte de 100k et que la limite de drawdown est de 3 % par jour, perdre 3 000 $ ou plus en une journée entraînera une violation des règles et l’échec du challenge. Si tu ne dépasses pas la limite de drawdown de 3 %, la limite se réinitialisera le jour suivant.

Calcul du Drawdown Maximum Statique du Compte : Si tu as un compte de 100k et que le drawdown maximum est fixé à 8 %, ton solde de compte ne doit pas descendre en dessous de 92 000 $. Si cela arrive, les règles seront violées et le challenge échoué.

Avec cette méthode, la limite est calculée sur la base d’un pourcentage du point d’équité le plus élevé de ton compte.

Calcul du Drawdown Journalier Trailing basé sur l’équité : Si tu as un compte de 100k et que la limite de drawdown est de 4 %, ta limite de perte trailing est de 4 000 $ ou une valeur d’équité égale ou inférieure à 96k entraînera une violation des règles et l’échec du challenge. Si la valeur de ton compte augmente à 103k, ta limite de perte maximale est calculée comme 4 % de 103k (4 120 $). La limite de perte trailing sur la valeur de ton compte est maintenant à 98,88k. Cette limite de perte maximale restera à ce niveau jusqu’à ce que la valeur du compte atteigne un nouveau plus haut, auquel point elle augmentera – suivant cette valeur d’équité élevée.

Chez Upside Funding, nous récompensons la régularité en augmentant ton capital de trading au fur et à mesure de ta progression.

Éligibilité au scaling

  • Génère un profit de 10 % sur trois mois consécutifs tout en maintenant une bonne gestion du risque.
  • Suis les mêmes règles de drawdown et objectifs de trading qu’auparavant – pas de restrictions supplémentaires.

Avantages du scaling

  • Le solde de ton compte financé augmente de 25 % par palier de scaling.
  • Fais évoluer ton compte jusqu’à 1,5M $ de financement sans challenges ni frais supplémentaires.
  • Ton partage des profits reste jusqu’à 90 %, t’assurant de garder la majorité de tes gains.
Chez The Upside Funding, plus tu progresses, plus nous investissons en toi – pas de coûts supplémentaires, pas de règles cachées – juste plus de capital pour trader.
Si tu ne réussis pas l’évaluation, tu devras acheter une nouvelle évaluation pour réessayer. L’échec n’est pas une fin – c’est juste une partie du processus. Chaque revers est une occasion d’affiner ta stratégie, d’améliorer ta discipline et de revenir plus fort. Prends ton temps, tire les leçons de l’expérience et prépare-toi à réussir à ta prochaine tentative.
Il n’y a pas de limite de temps pour recommencer, tu peux donc revenir quand tu es totalement préparé

Pas de délais. Pas de pression. Pas de trades précipités.

Chez Upside Funding, nous croyons que le bon trading vient de la compétence, de la patience et de la stratégie – pas de la course contre la montre. C’est pourquoi nous n’imposons pas de limites de temps sur nos évaluations.

  • Prends le temps dont tu as besoin. Que ce soit des semaines ou des mois, tu contrôles le rythme.
  • Pas de trades forcés. Concentre-toi sur des setups de qualité, pas sur des délais arbitraires.
  • Réussis quand tu es prêt. Tant que tu atteins les objectifs et suis les règles de risque, tu es qualifié.
L’objectif n’est pas seulement de réussir une évaluation – c’est de construire une approche rentable et répétable qui te prépare au succès à long terme.

Une fois que tu as réussi la Phase 2, ton compte passe par une rapide vérification pour s’assurer que toutes les règles ont été respectées.

Voici ce qui se passe ensuite :

  • Revue du compte : Notre équipe vérifie tes trades pour confirmer le respect des règles d’évaluation.
  • Vérification KYC : Tu devras compléter une vérification d’identité (un simple processus KYC).
  • Accord de financement : Tu recevras un contrat détaillant les conditions de ton compte financé.
  • Activation du compte financé : Une fois approuvé, ton compte financé sera émis, et tu seras prêt à commencer à trader avec du capital financé.
Réussir l’évaluation signifie que tu es officiellement un trader financé—maintenant il est temps de trader, de progresser et d’être payé !
Une fois que tu réussis la phase de vérification et que tu complètes la vérification KYC, ton compte financé est généralement émis dans les 48 heures.
Nous visons à traiter les approbations rapidement pour que tu puisses commencer à trader dès que possible. S’il y a des retards, notre équipe de support te tiendra au courant.

What happens once I get a funded account?
Once you become a funded trader with The Upside Funding, you’re not just getting capital—you’re joining a firm that invests in your long-term growth.

Here’s what you gain:

  • Trade with Firm backed funds – Trade with firm-backed funds, keeping up to 90% of
    your profits with payouts processed in 24 hours.
  • Scaling Opportunities – Consistently profitable traders can grow their accounts up to
    $1.5M, increasing their capital as they prove their skills.
  • Risk Management Without Pressure – No margin calls, no negative balances, and a
    static drawdown structure to make risk control easier.
  • 1:1 Mentorship & Trader Development – Every funded trader receives direct access to
    our CEO and senior traders, helping you refine your strategy, improve discipline, and
    maximize your long-term success.
  • Continuous Learning – Beyond funding, Upside Funding provides traders with exclusive
    insights, market breakdowns, and strategy discussions to help them perform at the
    highest level.

At The Upside Funding, we don’t just fund traders—we develop them.

Your starting capital depends on the account size selected during the evaluation.

  • Available account sizes: $5K, $10K, $25K, $50K, and $100K.
  • After passing the evaluation, you receive a funded account with the same balance.

Scaling Program:

  • Traders who demonstrate consistency and risk management can increase their capital allocation up to $1.5M.
  • Scaling is based on profit milestones and adherence to trading rules.

Why does scaling matter?

A key difference between professional traders and retail traders is access to capital. Our mission is to help skilled traders grow beyond their personal financial limitations, providing them with the funding and guidance to operate like true professionals.
The Upside Funding allows traders to scale up to $1.5 million in trading capital. Here’s how it works:
  • Start with up to $300,000 in initial funding after passing the evaluation.
  • Scale by 25% every three months when you hit a 10% profit milestone while following risk management rules.
  • No extra challenges or fees—your capital grows with your performance.
The more consistent and profitable you are, the more we invest in you. Our goal isn’t just to fund traders—it’s to build professionals who can manage real capital responsibly and profitably.

Yes, but our minimum trading days rule is designed for flexibility.

To qualify for your first withdrawal:

  • You must complete at least 5 profitable days.
  • A profitable day means a gain of at least 0.5% of your starting balance.
  • After your first payout, you can withdraw profits every 14 days as long as you’re in profit.
We don’t force traders into arbitrary time constraints—but we do encourage consistent, sustainable trading before withdrawals to ensure long-term success.
Yes. While Upside Funding gives traders maximum flexibility, we do have rules in place to maintain a fair trading environment. The following strategies are strictly prohibited:

1. Exploiting System Glitches

  • Taking advantage of price feed delays, server lag, or execution errors.
  • If a trade cannot be replicated in a real market, it’s not allowed.

2. News Straddling & Gap Exploits

  • Placing stop or limit orders within 5 minutes before or after high-impact news events.
  • Using wide stops or limit orders to take advantage of price spikes or gaps.

3. High-Frequency Trading (HFT) or Latency Arbitrage

  • Strategies that rely on placing and closing a high volume of trades within milliseconds.
  • Using ultra-fast order execution to exploit minor price discrepancies.

4. Risk-Free Hedging Across Accounts

  • Hedging positions between multiple accounts within Upside Funding or across different firms.
  • Using one account to open long positions and another to open short positions on the same asset.

5. Copy Trading or Account Sharing

  • Copying trades between accounts or using third-party trading signals.
  • Allowing others to trade on your behalf.
We want traders to succeed based on real skills and sound strategies. Breaking these rules can result in funded account termination and forfeiture of profits. Trade responsibly, and you’ll have no issues.
Yes, EAs and trading bots are allowed at Upside Funding—as long as they follow ethical trading practices.

Here’s what’s allowed:

  • Algorithmic trading strategies that mirror manual execution.
  • EAs focused on risk management, trade execution, and strategy automation.
  • Bots designed for structured, rule-based trading.

What’s not allowed:

  • HFT bots that exploit latency, arbitrage, or price feed delays
  • Grid trading or Martingale strategies that stack massive orders to artificially increase lot sizes.
  • EAs that attempt to manipulate execution speeds or price movements.
If your trading bot follows logical risk management and operates within realistic market conditions, you’re good to go. We support traders who use automation to enhance strategy execution, not exploit system loopholes.

No. Upside Funding strictly prohibits cross-account hedging.

What’s Not Allowed?

  • Hedging across multiple Upside Funding accounts – Using one account to go long and another to go short on the same instrument.
  • Hedging between different prop firms – Placing opposing trades across separate firms to create a risk-free setup.
  • Pooling risk between traders – Collaborating with other traders to artificially manipulate risk exposure.

What Is Allowed?

  • Hedging within a single account – You can hedge positions within your own funded account as part of your risk management strategy.
We want traders to succeed through real market skill, not through system manipulation. Cross-account hedging distorts performance metrics and violates fair trading principles, which is why it’s not permitted.

1-Step Evaluation Funded Account

Upside Funding uses a trailing drawdown rule for the 1-Step Evaluation

Daily Drawdown Limit

  • Not applicable to 1-Step Evaluations

Max Drawdown Limit

  • 4% trailing off your highest watermark of equity.
  • If your losses exceed this 4% at any point, your account will breach the limit and the challenge will be failed.
  • If your account value increases, your max loss limit is calculated as 4% of the new highest equity balance. This max drawdown limit will remain at this level until the account value makes a new high at which point it will move higher – trailing that high equity value.

How Is It Calculated?

  • If you have a $100,000 funded account, you must maintain an equity balance above
    $96,000 (4% of $100,000).
  • If you have a $100,000 funded account, you have a profitable trade open and your
    equity is now at $105,000 you must now maintain an equity balance above $100,800
    (4% of $105,000).
  • Even if your equity balance then drops lower than $105,000 but above $100,800
    (your new max drawdown limit), your max drawdown limit remains at $100,800. This
    will only change if your equity balance then goes above $105,000.

2-Step Evaluation Funded Account

Upside Funding uses static drawdown rules for the 2-Step Evaluation.

Daily Drawdown Limit

  • 4% static calculated based on your initial equity.
  • If your daily losses exceed this 4% at any point within a trading day, your account will
    breach the limit and the challenge will be failed.

How Is It Calculated?

  • If you have a $100,000 funded account, your daily loss limit will be fixed at $4,000
    (4% of the account).
  • If, in this example, your balance grows to $105,000 your daily limit will remain at
    $4,000 (4% of the initial account balance).
  • As long you don’t breach the 4% daily drawdown limit, your daily drawdown limit
    will reset at the start of each new trading day, giving you a fresh opportunity.

However, you still need to stay within your Max Drawdown Limit otherwise your
account will breach the rules and you will need to purchase a new challenge.

Max Drawdown Limit

  • 8% static limit calculated from your original account value.
  • If your accumulative losses exceed this 8% at any point, your account will breach the limit and the challenge will be failed.

How Is It Calculated?

  • If you have a $100,000 funded account, you must maintain an equity balance above
    $92,000 (8% of $100,000).

The daily drawdown limit resets at the end of your trading platform day.

This means that your new trading day starts fresh with the daily drawdown limit recalculated based on your account balance at the close of the platform’s trading day.

Why is this important?

  • You get a clean slate each day, so your risk calculations reset at a fixed time.
  • If you’re near the drawdown limit, be aware of the reset to avoid unnecessary breaches.
  • Plan your trading strategy around the reset time to manage risk effectively.
This structure ensures that traders operate within clear, predictable risk parameters while keeping the focus on long-term consistency.
Leverage varies depending on whether you’re in the evaluation phase or the funded phase.

Evaluation Phase Leverage

  • Forex: 1:30
  • Indices: 1:15
  • Commodities: 1:10
  • Crypto: 1:2

Funded Phase Leverage

  • Forex: 1:30
  • Indices: 1:10
  • Commodities: 1:10
  • Crypto: 1:1

Scaling & Leverage Increases

For every 25% increase in capital, leverage also increases by 25%, up to a max of 1:100
for all asset classes except Bitcoin

Why Leverage Changes in the Funded Phase

Leverage in the funded phase is structured to balance opportunity with risk management. While traders still have strong buying power, the slightly lower leverage ensures sustainability, allowing traders to scale their accounts without excessive risk exposure.

Step-2 Evaluation Funded Account

On this account, Upside Funding enforces a static 8% maximum drawdown to ensure traders have room to operate while maintaining disciplined risk management.

How It Works

  • The maximum drawdown is fixed at 8% of your initial account balance.
  • It does not trail, meaning as you grow your balance, your drawdown cushion remains
    stable.
  • If your account balance falls 8% below the starting value, the account is breached.

How Is It Calculated?

  • $100,000 funded account → Max drawdown limit: $8,000
  • If your balance drops below $92,000, your account is in breach.
  • Even if your balance grows to $120,000, the drawdown remains locked at $92,000,
    giving you more trading flexibility.
This structure eliminates the stress of trailing limits, allowing traders to focus on long-term growth and risk-adjusted trading rather than worrying about shifting thresholds.

No, news trading is not allowed in the funded phase.

Traders in the evaluation phase can trade news only if they have purchased the Add-On. However, once funded, traders must follow strict risk management policies, which do not allow trading around major economic releases.

Why is news trading restricted in the funded phase?

High-impact news events can create extreme volatility, unpredictable price spikes, and liquidity risks. To ensure long-term sustainability for funded traders, news trading is not permitted once you receive funding.
If news trading is an essential part of your strategy, you must purchase the Add-On during the evaluation phase. Otherwise, once funded, you will need to adjust your approach to comply with firm policies.

Traders in the evaluation phase can hold trades over the weekend only if they have
purchased the Add-On. However, once funded, all positions must be closed before the
market closes on Friday.

Why is weekend holding restricted in the funded phase?

Markets can experience major price gaps when they reopen, leading to:

  • Stop-losses not executing at intended levels
  • Extreme slippage and unexpected losses
  • Low liquidity impacting trade execution
To protect trader capital and maintain account stability, funded traders must close all trades before the weekend.
If weekend holding is a key part of your strategy, make sure to purchase the Add-On during your evaluation. Once funded, traders must follow firm risk management policies.

No. There are no fixed lot size limits on funded accounts.

At The Upside Funding, we recognize that different strategies require different position sizing, so we give traders the freedom to execute trades based on their risk management, not arbitrary restrictions.

What You Should Know

  • No predefined lot size caps—trade with the volume that suits your strategy.
  • Scalping and swing trading strategies are welcome.
  • Risk management is your responsibility—as long as you stay within the drawdown limits, you control your trade size.

A Few Considerations

  • Margin & Leverage: Your lot size should align with available leverage and your risk tolerance.
  • Market Conditions: During high-impact news events or volatile market periods, spreads can widen—so be mindful of execution quality. We trust traders to manage their own risk effectively rather than imposing restrictive lot size limits. At Upside Funding, you trade with real capital, with the flexibility real traders need.
No. Copy trading, signal services, and account mirroring are not allowed on funded accounts
Upside Funding is built to support independent traders who can demonstrate their skill, risk management, and decision-making. Using external signals or mirroring trades from another account violates our trading policies and can result in account termination.

Why Copy Trading & Signal Services Are Prohibited

  • No outsourced trading – You must be the one executing your trades.
  • No account mirroring – Copying trades from other accounts, traders, or signal
    providers is strictly forbidden.
  • No automation via external sources – Only self-developed strategies using
    permitted EAs or bots are allowed.

What Happens If Copy Trading is Detected?

  • Immediate Account Review – If your trading activity is flagged as copy trading, your
    account will be investigated.
  • Potential Termination – If confirmed, your funded account may be revoked, and any
    profits forfeited.
  • Future Restrictions – Traders found using copy trading services may be banned from
    reapplying.
We fund traders based on their skills, not someone else’s signals. If you’re looking to trade with our capital, you need to prove your ability to analyze, execute, and manage trades independently.

2-Step Funded Accounts

If you hit the daily drawdown limit (4%) or maximum drawdown limit (8%), your funded account will be automatically closed.

What This Means

  • Daily Drawdown Breach (%4) – If your account’s equity drops below the 4% loss threshold on any given day, your account will be disabled.
  • Maximum Drawdown Breach (8%) – If your account’s equity falls below the 8% loss limit at any time, the account is permanently closed.

1-Step Funded Accounts

If you hit the max total trailing drawdown limit (4%), your funded account will be automatically closed.

What This Means

  • Maximum Drawdown Breach (4%) – If your account’s equity falls below the trailing 4% loss limit at any time, the account is permanently closed.

What Happens Next?

  • Account Review: The breach will be verified, and the account will be marked as closed.
  • Loss of Funded Status: If a funded account breaches the maximum drawdown, it cannot be reinstated.
  • Reapply Anytime: You can start a new evaluation if you wish to try again.

How to Avoid a Breach

  • Monitor Your Drawdown – Keep an eye on your risk and ensure your positions don’t exceed the limits.
  • Adjust Position Sizes – Trading too large can cause unnecessary drawdowns.
  • Use Stop-Loss Wisely – Protect your capital by managing your risk effectively.
At Upside Funding, risk management is key—staying within the limits ensures you maintain your funded status and continue trading with real capital.
No, a stop-loss is not required during the evaluation or on funded accounts at Upside Funding. However, understanding when and how to use stop-loss orders is a key part of risk management.
Many traders use stop-losses to protect their capital from unexpected market moves, but others prefer manual risk control based on market structure and price action. What matters most is that you stay within the 3% daily drawdown and 9% overall drawdown limits.
If you choose not to use a stop-loss, be sure to have a solid risk management plan in place. Market conditions can change rapidly, and effective trade management is what separates professional traders from those who fail. Whether you use stop-loss orders or manage risk manually, discipline and consistency will be the foundation of your success.
How does the scaling plan work?
The Upside Funding’s Scaling Plan is designed to reward consistent profitability by increasing your capital allocation without additional challenges or fees. As you prove your ability to manage risk and grow profits, your account grows with you.

How Scaling Works

  • Earn a 10% profit over 3 consecutive months while maintaining responsible risk management.
  • Your account balance increases by 25% at each scaling milestone.
  • Continue scaling up to $1.5M in total funding.
  • Your profit split remains up to 90%—the more you make, the more you keep.
Scaling allows traders to increase their capital responsibly without needing to restart the evaluation process. We invest in skilled traders who demonstrate consistency and discipline.
To qualify for account scaling, traders must meet the following conditions:

Profitability Requirement

  • Achieve a 10% profit over a rolling 3-month period.

Risk Management Criteria

  • No breaches of drawdown limits (refer to the relevant rules for either the 1-Step or
    2-Step Evaluations.)
  • Adherence to trading rules—no prohibited strategies or violations (refer to the
    relevant rules for either the 1-Step or 2-Step Evaluations.).

Trading Activity

  • Demonstrate consistency—scaling is based on stable, well-managed growth.

What Happens When You Qualify?

  • Your account balance increases by 25% at the next scaling milestone.
  • You keep the same profit split (up to 90%).
  • You continue scaling up to $1.5M as long as you meet the criteria.
Scaling is automated—if you meet the targets, your account upgrades seamlessly with no additional evaluation or fees. Upside Funding is here to grow with you.
Trader performance is reviewed every three months to determine eligibility for scaling. If you meet the scaling criteria—a 10% profit over the last 3 months while following risk management rules—your account will automatically be increased by 25%.

Key Points on Scaling Reviews:

  • Reviews occur every 90 days from the date you receive your funded account.
  • You do not need to apply—if you meet the requirements, your account scales
    automatically.
  • Performance is evaluated based on profitability, adherence to risk rules, and trading
    activity.   
  • There are no additional fees or retests—scaling is a reward for consistent traders.
The goal is to reward disciplined traders with more capital, allowing them to grow their account responsibly without resetting their progress.

Upside Funding’s scaling program allows traders to grow their capital up to $1.5 million.

  • Start with up to $300K in initial funding.
  • Scale in 25% increments every 3 months when profitability targets are met.
  • Maximum allocation: $1.5M per trader.
Once you reach $1.5M, your focus shifts to maximizing your profit split and compounding your gains. There are no additional scaling phases beyond $1.5M, but your profit share and payout frequency remain unchanged.

No—your profit split remains the same as your account scales.

  • Standard profit split: 70%
  • With add-ons: Up to 90%
  • No reductions in your share as your capital increases
This means that even as your account grows, your profit share stays high—allowing you to benefit fully from larger capital allocations without any hidden restrictions.
The Upside Funding’s Remote Trader Program is an exclusive opportunity for our top-performing traders to transition into a full-time proprietary trading position.

How Does It Work? 

  • Only the best traders who demonstrate consistent profitability and disciplined risk management will be considered.
  • Selected traders will receive a structured salary of up to $350,000 USD per year as a full-time employee of The Upside Funding Limited.
  • Remote traders continue trading firm capital with no personal financial risk while benefiting from added stability and growth potential.

How Can I Qualify?

Traders who reach the highest levels of funded capital and maintain strong performance metrics will be invited to apply.
At The Upside Funding, we don’t just fund traders—we build careers for elite performers.
How does the payout process work?
The Upside Funding provides a fast and straightforward payout process to ensure traders can access their profits without unnecessary delays. Here’s how it works:
1. Meet Profit Requirements – To request a payout, your funded account must be in profit and meet the required trading conditions.
2. Submit a Payout Request – Once eligible, you can request a withdrawal directly from your trader dashboard.
3. Approval & Processing – Our team verifies your request to ensure compliance with trading rules. This process is typically completed within 24 hours
4. Receive Your Funds – Once your KYC is complete and RISE account details have been provided to our team your payment will be made within 24 hours under our 24 hour payment protection guarantee.
With a focus on efficiency, our goal is to get your earnings to you as quickly and securely as possible.
Traders can request a payout every 14 days after becoming funded. The first payout is available once the account is in at least 4% profit and has completed at least five winning trading days. After the first withdrawal, payouts remain biweekly.
Upside Funding processes all funded trader payouts through RISE to ensure fast and secure transfers. Here’s how it works:
  •  Rise – Instant payouts with a simple and seamless process.
  • Affiliates Only: Affiliates can choose to be paid via RISE or bank transfer.

Key Payout Details:

  • Processing Time: Withdrawals are typically processed within 24 hours after approval.
  • Minimum Payout: $250 for funded traders; no minimum for affiliate payouts.
  • Fees: RISE charges a $50 fee per payment, which is passed on to the trader.
  • Currency Options: RISE supports payouts in any currency, including crypto.
  • VPN/VPS: Traders must turn off their VPN/VPS when setting up a RISE account.
Our goal is to provide secure and efficient payout solutions, ensuring traders receive their earnings with minimal friction.
Minimum Payout: $250 for funded traders; no minimum for affiliate payouts.

Fees: RISE charges a $50 fee per payment, which is passed on to the trader.

Are there any hidden fees?
No. The Upside Funding operates with full transparency—there are no hidden charges or surprise deductions.
  • No Monthly Fees – You only pay for the evaluation.
  • No Platform Fees – Access to trading platforms is included.
  • No Data Fees – Real-time market data is provided at no extra cost.
  • No Withdrawal Fees – Payouts are processed without deductions from Upside Funding (some third-party payment providers may have their own processing fees).
Everything is clearly outlined before you begin, so you always know what you’re paying for.
Yes. If you pass both evaluation phases and become a funded trader, your evaluation fee is fully refunded after your second payout. This ensures that your trading journey starts without financial risk on your end.
The refund is added on top of your payout—you don’t have to deduct it from your profits.
The Upside Funding accepts secure payments through:
  • Credit/Debit Cards – Visa, MasterCard, and Amex
  • Online Payment Systems
  • Crypto Payments 
All fees are charged in USD ($). If you pay in another currency, conversion rates and any applicable fees will be determined by your payment provider.
All transactions are encrypted and secured to protect your financial information. If you experience any payment issues, contact support@thefundingupside.com for assistance.
No. Evaluation fees are non-refundable if you violate the trading rules or breach the drawdown limits.
The registration fee covers access to the evaluation, trading platforms, and risk management infrastructure. Since the evaluation process is a test of trading skill and discipline, failing or breaching the rules means the challenge is over, and a new evaluation must be purchased to try again.
Traders are encouraged to review all risk parameters carefully before starting the challenge.
Is trading with The Upside Funding risky?
All trading carries risk, and success in the markets requires skill, discipline, and proper risk management. At Upside Funding, we structure our program to remove the financial downside for traders, allowing you to focus on your strategy without worrying about margin calls or account liquidation.

Here’s how we reduce trading risks for our traders:

  • No Personal Capital at Risk – You only pay an evaluation fee, and once funded, you trade with our capital, not yours.
  • Static Drawdowns – Unlike trailing drawdowns that tighten as you profit, our static drawdown limits remain fixed, giving you more room to manage risk.
  • No Hidden Rules – We don’t penalize traders for normal market conditions like slippage or minor execution differences. Our focus is realistic trading that mirrors live market conditions.
  • 1:1 Mentorship – Every funded trader gets direct access to experienced mentors, helping them refine their strategy and build long-term success.
  • Scaling to $1.5M – We reward responsible trading by increasing your capital, so you trade with more, risk less, and grow faster.
While we remove many of the risks that traders typically face, trading itself remains a performance-based skill. Proper risk management, patience, and a disciplined strategy are key to long-term success.

No, The Upside Funding does not provide financial, investment, or trading advice.

We are a proprietary trading firm, not a financial advisory service. While we offer mentorship, performance reviews, and educational resources, all trading decisions are made solely by the trader.
  • We do not guarantee profits.
  • We do not provide investment recommendations.
  • We do not tell traders when or what to trade.
Instead, we focus on developing skilled, independent traders by offering funding, feedback, and access to experienced mentors. Traders are encouraged to continuously improve their strategy and approach based on their own market understanding.
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.

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 restart.
  • If detected in a funded account – Your account may be closed, and any payouts forfeited.
While we remove many of the risks that traders typically face, trading itself remains a performance-based skill. Proper risk management, patience, and a disciplined strategy are key to long-term success.

The Upside Funding maintains a fair, transparent, and professional trading environment.

Violating our Terms & Conditions—whether through prohibited trading practices, misuse of accounts, or fraudulent behavior—can lead to immediate consequences, including termination of your account.

Potential consequences of violations:

  • Evaluation Disqualification – If a trader breaches the rules during the evaluation phase, the account will be failed, and they will need to restart by purchasing a new evaluation.
  • Funded Account Termination – If a funded trader violates the T&C, their account may be permanently closed, and any unpaid profits may be forfeited.
  • Permanent Ban – Severe violations, such as fraud, account sharing, or exploiting system vulnerabilities, may result in a lifetime ban from trading with Upside Funding.
  • Legal Action – In cases of deliberate fraud, manipulation, or chargeback disputes, Upside Funding reserves the right to take legal action.
We encourage all traders to read and understand the Terms & Conditions before participating. Our goal is to fund serious, responsible traders—not those looking to exploit the system. If you ever have questions about the rules, our team is always available to provide clarifications and guidance.

No, you cannot lose your own money when trading with Upside Funding.

  • You do not take personal financial losses if your funded account breaches.
  • You do not deposit money into a live trading account.
  • Your only financial commitment is the evaluation fee.

If you breach the drawdown limits or violate the trading rules:

  • Your funded account will be closed, but you will never owe any money to Upside Funding.
  • You are always free to purchase another evaluation and try again.
Unlike traditional trading, where traders risk their own capital, our model removes personal financial risk. We cover the downside—you focus on trading, improving, and scaling your profits.
Can I have multiple accounts?

Yes, traders can hold multiple funded accounts, but there are specific rules:

  • Evaluation Accounts – You can purchase and manage multiple evaluation accounts
    at the same time.
  • Funded Accounts – You can hold multiple funded accounts, but the total capital
    across all accounts cannot exceed $1.5M (the maximum scaling limit).
  • Account Merging – Upside Funding offers an option to merge funded accounts for
    easier management.
  • No Account Sharing – All accounts must be traded by you alone. Sharing accounts,
    using third parties to trade on your behalf, or copy trading between accounts is
    strictly prohibited.
If you need guidance on managing multiple accounts effectively, our team is available to help.
No, once an evaluation has been purchased, the account size cannot be changed or upgraded.

If you want to trade a different account size:

  • You will need to purchase a new evaluation with your preferred funding level.
  • Your current evaluation cannot be transferred to another account size.
We recommend choosing an account size that aligns with your strategy from the start. If you’re unsure, start with a manageable size and scale up as you gain confidence.

If you’re unable to access your account, follow these steps:

    1.  Reset Your Password – Click the “Forgot Password” option on the login page and
      follow the instructions to reset your credentials.

The Upside Funding allows traders to pause trading without pressure, but there are inactivity limits:
  • Evaluation Accounts – There are no inactivity restrictions during the evaluation phase. You can take as much time as needed to complete the challenge.

Is The Upside Funding a regulated company?
Yes, The Upside Funding operates under the legal and regulatory framework of Hong Kong. While proprietary trading firms like The Upside Funding are not traditional financial institutions or brokers, we adhere to strict compliance standards to ensure transparency, security, and integrity in our operations.
Our structure ensures that traders face no counterparty risks, and all payouts, agreements, and processes follow legally enforceable terms under Hong Kong law.

The Upside Funding Limited is a legally registered company in Hong Kong, and all
services, agreements, and trading activities are governed by Hong Kong’s financial and
business regulations.

  • Global credibility—Hong Kong is a leading financial hub, giving traders confidence
    that they’re working with a firm built on real business foundations, not gimmicks.

At The Upside Funding, your privacy and data security are a priority. We follow strict

  • Secure Storage – All trader information is stored on encrypted servers with access restricted to authorized personnel.
  • No Third-Party Sharing – We do not sell, lease, or share your personal data with third parties, except where legally required or for payment processing.
  • Limited Use – Your data is only used for account verification, evaluation processing, payouts, and internal analytics to improve our platform.
We believe traders should focus on their craft without worrying about security. That’s why we go beyond basic compliance and apply financial industry best practices to protect your data.
To maintain a secure and compliant trading environment, every trader must complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification before receiving a funded account or withdrawing profits.

The process includes:

  1. Identity Verification – Submit a government-issued ID (passport, driver’s license, or national ID).
  2. Address Confirmation – Provide a recent utility bill, bank statement, or official document matching your registration details.
  3. Selfie Verification – Upload a live photo of yourself to confirm identity and prevent fraud.
The KYC process is typically completed within 48 hours, and it ensures that we operate with legitimate traders while maintaining regulatory standards.

If you do not complete KYC verification, you will not be able to:

  • Withdraw profits from a funded account.
  • Access certain trader benefits, including scaling opportunities.
  • Receive funding, even if you successfully pass the evaluation phase.
To avoid delays, ensure that your documents are clear, valid, and match the details on your account. If there are any issues, our support team is available to guide you through the process and help resolve verification problems.
At The Upside Funding, KYC is not just a regulation—it’s part of our commitment to security, fairness, and ensuring a high-quality trading environment for all traders.

Nous utilisons des calculs de limite de drawdown Statique et Trailing basé sur l’équité.

Statique : Le drawdown ne change à aucun moment du challenge. Il est calculé sur la base d’un pourcentage de la valeur initiale du compte.

Trailing basé sur l’équité : Avec cette méthode, la limite est calculée sur la base d’un pourcentage du point d’équité le plus élevé de ton compte.

Le drawdown ne change à aucun moment du challenge. Il est calculé sur la base d’un pourcentage de la valeur initiale du compte.

Calcul du Drawdown Journalier Statique : Si tu as un compte de 100k et que la limite de drawdown est de 3 % par jour, perdre 3 000 $ ou plus en une journée entraînera une violation des règles et l’échec du challenge. Si tu ne dépasses pas la limite de drawdown de 3 %, la limite se réinitialisera le jour suivant.

Calcul du Drawdown Maximum Statique du Compte : Si tu as un compte de 100k et que le drawdown maximum est fixé à 8 %, ton solde de compte ne doit pas descendre en dessous de 92 000 $. Si cela arrive, les règles seront violées et le challenge échoué.

Avec cette méthode, la limite est calculée sur la base d’un pourcentage du point d’équité le plus élevé de ton compte.

Calcul du Drawdown Journalier Trailing basé sur l’équité : Si tu as un compte de 100k et que la limite de drawdown est de 4 %, ta limite de perte trailing est de 4 000 $ ou une valeur d’équité égale ou inférieure à 96k entraînera une violation des règles et l’échec du challenge. Si la valeur de ton compte augmente à 103k, ta limite de perte maximale est calculée comme 4 % de 103k (4 120 $). La limite de perte trailing sur la valeur de ton compte est maintenant à 98,88k. Cette limite de perte maximale restera à ce niveau jusqu’à ce que la valeur du compte atteigne un nouveau plus haut, auquel point elle augmentera – suivant cette valeur d’équité élevée.

What happens once I get a funded account?
Once you become a funded trader with The Upside Funding, you’re not just getting capital—you’re joining a firm that invests in your long-term growth.

Here’s what you gain:

  • Trade with Firm backed funds – Trade with firm-backed funds, keeping up to 90% of
    your profits with payouts processed in 24 hours.
  • Scaling Opportunities – Consistently profitable traders can grow their accounts up to
    $1.5M, increasing their capital as they prove their skills.
  • Risk Management Without Pressure – No margin calls, no negative balances, and a
    static drawdown structure to make risk control easier.
  • 1:1 Mentorship & Trader Development – Every funded trader receives direct access to
    our CEO and senior traders, helping you refine your strategy, improve discipline, and
    maximize your long-term success.
  • Continuous Learning – Beyond funding, Upside Funding provides traders with exclusive
    insights, market breakdowns, and strategy discussions to help them perform at the
    highest level.

At The Upside Funding, we don’t just fund traders—we develop them.

Your starting capital depends on the account size selected during the evaluation.

  • Available account sizes: $5K, $10K, $25K, $50K, and $100K.
  • After passing the evaluation, you receive a funded account with the same balance.

Scaling Program:

  • Traders who demonstrate consistency and risk management can increase their capital allocation up to $1.5M.
  • Scaling is based on profit milestones and adherence to trading rules.

Why does scaling matter?

A key difference between professional traders and retail traders is access to capital. Our mission is to help skilled traders grow beyond their personal financial limitations, providing them with the funding and guidance to operate like true professionals.
The Upside Funding allows traders to scale up to $1.5 million in trading capital. Here’s how it works:
  • Start with up to $300,000 in initial funding after passing the evaluation.
  • Scale by 25% every three months when you hit a 10% profit milestone while following risk management rules.
  • No extra challenges or fees—your capital grows with your performance.
The more consistent and profitable you are, the more we invest in you. Our goal isn’t just to fund traders—it’s to build professionals who can manage real capital responsibly and profitably.

Yes, but our minimum trading days rule is designed for flexibility.

To qualify for your first withdrawal:

  • You must complete at least 5 profitable days.
  • A profitable day means a gain of at least 0.5% of your starting balance.
  • After your first payout, you can withdraw profits every 14 days as long as you’re in profit.
We don’t force traders into arbitrary time constraints—but we do encourage consistent, sustainable trading before withdrawals to ensure long-term success.
Yes. While Upside Funding gives traders maximum flexibility, we do have rules in place to maintain a fair trading environment. The following strategies are strictly prohibited:

1. Exploiting System Glitches

  • Taking advantage of price feed delays, server lag, or execution errors.
  • If a trade cannot be replicated in a real market, it’s not allowed.

2. News Straddling & Gap Exploits

  • Placing stop or limit orders within 5 minutes before or after high-impact news events.
  • Using wide stops or limit orders to take advantage of price spikes or gaps.

3. High-Frequency Trading (HFT) or Latency Arbitrage

  • Strategies that rely on placing and closing a high volume of trades within milliseconds.
  • Using ultra-fast order execution to exploit minor price discrepancies.

4. Risk-Free Hedging Across Accounts

  • Hedging positions between multiple accounts within Upside Funding or across different firms.
  • Using one account to open long positions and another to open short positions on the same asset.

5. Copy Trading or Account Sharing

  • Copying trades between accounts or using third-party trading signals.
  • Allowing others to trade on your behalf.
We want traders to succeed based on real skills and sound strategies. Breaking these rules can result in funded account termination and forfeiture of profits. Trade responsibly, and you’ll have no issues.
Yes, EAs and trading bots are allowed at Upside Funding—as long as they follow ethical trading practices.

Here’s what’s allowed:

  • Algorithmic trading strategies that mirror manual execution.
  • EAs focused on risk management, trade execution, and strategy automation.
  • Bots designed for structured, rule-based trading.

What’s not allowed:

  • HFT bots that exploit latency, arbitrage, or price feed delays
  • Grid trading or Martingale strategies that stack massive orders to artificially increase lot sizes.
  • EAs that attempt to manipulate execution speeds or price movements.
If your trading bot follows logical risk management and operates within realistic market conditions, you’re good to go. We support traders who use automation to enhance strategy execution, not exploit system loopholes.

No. Upside Funding strictly prohibits cross-account hedging.

What’s Not Allowed?

  • Hedging across multiple Upside Funding accounts – Using one account to go long and another to go short on the same instrument.
  • Hedging between different prop firms – Placing opposing trades across separate firms to create a risk-free setup.
  • Pooling risk between traders – Collaborating with other traders to artificially manipulate risk exposure.

What Is Allowed?

  • Hedging within a single account – You can hedge positions within your own funded account as part of your risk management strategy.
We want traders to succeed through real market skill, not through system manipulation. Cross-account hedging distorts performance metrics and violates fair trading principles, which is why it’s not permitted.

1-Step Evaluation Funded Account

Upside Funding uses a trailing drawdown rule for the 1-Step Evaluation

Daily Drawdown Limit

  • Not applicable to 1-Step Evaluations

Max Drawdown Limit

  • 4% trailing off your highest watermark of equity.
  • If your losses exceed this 4% at any point, your account will breach the limit and the challenge will be failed.
  • If your account value increases, your max loss limit is calculated as 4% of the new highest equity balance. This max drawdown limit will remain at this level until the account value makes a new high at which point it will move higher – trailing that high equity value.

How Is It Calculated?

  • If you have a $100,000 funded account, you must maintain an equity balance above
    $96,000 (4% of $100,000).
  • If you have a $100,000 funded account, you have a profitable trade open and your
    equity is now at $105,000 you must now maintain an equity balance above $100,800
    (4% of $105,000).
  • Even if your equity balance then drops lower than $105,000 but above $100,800
    (your new max drawdown limit), your max drawdown limit remains at $100,800. This
    will only change if your equity balance then goes above $105,000.

2-Step Evaluation Funded Account

Upside Funding uses static drawdown rules for the 2-Step Evaluation.

Daily Drawdown Limit

  • 4% static calculated based on your initial equity.
  • If your daily losses exceed this 4% at any point within a trading day, your account will
    breach the limit and the challenge will be failed.

How Is It Calculated?

  • If you have a $100,000 funded account, your daily loss limit will be fixed at $4,000
    (4% of the account).
  • If, in this example, your balance grows to $105,000 your daily limit will remain at
    $4,000 (4% of the initial account balance).
  • As long you don’t breach the 4% daily drawdown limit, your daily drawdown limit
    will reset at the start of each new trading day, giving you a fresh opportunity.

However, you still need to stay within your Max Drawdown Limit otherwise your
account will breach the rules and you will need to purchase a new challenge.

Max Drawdown Limit

  • 8% static limit calculated from your original account value.
  • If your accumulative losses exceed this 8% at any point, your account will breach the limit and the challenge will be failed.

How Is It Calculated?

  • If you have a $100,000 funded account, you must maintain an equity balance above
    $92,000 (8% of $100,000).

The daily drawdown limit resets at the end of your trading platform day.

This means that your new trading day starts fresh with the daily drawdown limit recalculated based on your account balance at the close of the platform’s trading day.

Why is this important?

  • You get a clean slate each day, so your risk calculations reset at a fixed time.
  • If you’re near the drawdown limit, be aware of the reset to avoid unnecessary breaches.
  • Plan your trading strategy around the reset time to manage risk effectively.
This structure ensures that traders operate within clear, predictable risk parameters while keeping the focus on long-term consistency.
Leverage varies depending on whether you’re in the evaluation phase or the funded phase.

Evaluation Phase Leverage

  • Forex: 1:30
  • Indices: 1:15
  • Commodities: 1:10
  • Crypto: 1:2

Funded Phase Leverage

  • Forex: 1:30
  • Indices: 1:10
  • Commodities: 1:10
  • Crypto: 1:1

Scaling & Leverage Increases

For every 25% increase in capital, leverage also increases by 25%, up to a max of 1:100
for all asset classes except Bitcoin

Why Leverage Changes in the Funded Phase

Leverage in the funded phase is structured to balance opportunity with risk management. While traders still have strong buying power, the slightly lower leverage ensures sustainability, allowing traders to scale their accounts without excessive risk exposure.

Step-2 Evaluation Funded Account

On this account, Upside Funding enforces a static 8% maximum drawdown to ensure traders have room to operate while maintaining disciplined risk management.

How It Works

  • The maximum drawdown is fixed at 8% of your initial account balance.
  • It does not trail, meaning as you grow your balance, your drawdown cushion remains
    stable.
  • If your account balance falls 8% below the starting value, the account is breached.

How Is It Calculated?

  • $100,000 funded account → Max drawdown limit: $8,000
  • If your balance drops below $92,000, your account is in breach.
  • Even if your balance grows to $120,000, the drawdown remains locked at $92,000,
    giving you more trading flexibility.
This structure eliminates the stress of trailing limits, allowing traders to focus on long-term growth and risk-adjusted trading rather than worrying about shifting thresholds.

No, news trading is not allowed in the funded phase.

Traders in the evaluation phase can trade news only if they have purchased the Add-On. However, once funded, traders must follow strict risk management policies, which do not allow trading around major economic releases.

Why is news trading restricted in the funded phase?

High-impact news events can create extreme volatility, unpredictable price spikes, and liquidity risks. To ensure long-term sustainability for funded traders, news trading is not permitted once you receive funding.
If news trading is an essential part of your strategy, you must purchase the Add-On during the evaluation phase. Otherwise, once funded, you will need to adjust your approach to comply with firm policies.

Traders in the evaluation phase can hold trades over the weekend only if they have
purchased the Add-On. However, once funded, all positions must be closed before the
market closes on Friday.

Why is weekend holding restricted in the funded phase?

Markets can experience major price gaps when they reopen, leading to:

  • Stop-losses not executing at intended levels
  • Extreme slippage and unexpected losses
  • Low liquidity impacting trade execution
To protect trader capital and maintain account stability, funded traders must close all trades before the weekend.
If weekend holding is a key part of your strategy, make sure to purchase the Add-On during your evaluation. Once funded, traders must follow firm risk management policies.

No. There are no fixed lot size limits on funded accounts.

At The Upside Funding, we recognize that different strategies require different position sizing, so we give traders the freedom to execute trades based on their risk management, not arbitrary restrictions.

What You Should Know

  • No predefined lot size caps—trade with the volume that suits your strategy.
  • Scalping and swing trading strategies are welcome.
  • Risk management is your responsibility—as long as you stay within the drawdown limits, you control your trade size.

A Few Considerations

  • Margin & Leverage: Your lot size should align with available leverage and your risk tolerance.
  • Market Conditions: During high-impact news events or volatile market periods, spreads can widen—so be mindful of execution quality. We trust traders to manage their own risk effectively rather than imposing restrictive lot size limits. At Upside Funding, you trade with real capital, with the flexibility real traders need.
No. Copy trading, signal services, and account mirroring are not allowed on funded accounts
Upside Funding is built to support independent traders who can demonstrate their skill, risk management, and decision-making. Using external signals or mirroring trades from another account violates our trading policies and can result in account termination.

Why Copy Trading & Signal Services Are Prohibited

  • No outsourced trading – You must be the one executing your trades.
  • No account mirroring – Copying trades from other accounts, traders, or signal
    providers is strictly forbidden.
  • No automation via external sources – Only self-developed strategies using
    permitted EAs or bots are allowed.

What Happens If Copy Trading is Detected?

  • Immediate Account Review – If your trading activity is flagged as copy trading, your
    account will be investigated.
  • Potential Termination – If confirmed, your funded account may be revoked, and any
    profits forfeited.
  • Future Restrictions – Traders found using copy trading services may be banned from
    reapplying.
We fund traders based on their skills, not someone else’s signals. If you’re looking to trade with our capital, you need to prove your ability to analyze, execute, and manage trades independently.

2-Step Funded Accounts

If you hit the daily drawdown limit (4%) or maximum drawdown limit (8%), your funded account will be automatically closed.

What This Means

  • Daily Drawdown Breach (%4) – If your account’s equity drops below the 4% loss threshold on any given day, your account will be disabled.
  • Maximum Drawdown Breach (8%) – If your account’s equity falls below the 8% loss limit at any time, the account is permanently closed.

1-Step Funded Accounts

If you hit the max total trailing drawdown limit (4%), your funded account will be automatically closed.

What This Means

  • Maximum Drawdown Breach (4%) – If your account’s equity falls below the trailing 4% loss limit at any time, the account is permanently closed.

What Happens Next?

  • Account Review: The breach will be verified, and the account will be marked as closed.
  • Loss of Funded Status: If a funded account breaches the maximum drawdown, it cannot be reinstated.
  • Reapply Anytime: You can start a new evaluation if you wish to try again.

How to Avoid a Breach

  • Monitor Your Drawdown – Keep an eye on your risk and ensure your positions don’t exceed the limits.
  • Adjust Position Sizes – Trading too large can cause unnecessary drawdowns.
  • Use Stop-Loss Wisely – Protect your capital by managing your risk effectively.
At Upside Funding, risk management is key—staying within the limits ensures you maintain your funded status and continue trading with real capital.
No, a stop-loss is not required during the evaluation or on funded accounts at Upside Funding. However, understanding when and how to use stop-loss orders is a key part of risk management.
Many traders use stop-losses to protect their capital from unexpected market moves, but others prefer manual risk control based on market structure and price action. What matters most is that you stay within the 3% daily drawdown and 9% overall drawdown limits.
If you choose not to use a stop-loss, be sure to have a solid risk management plan in place. Market conditions can change rapidly, and effective trade management is what separates professional traders from those who fail. Whether you use stop-loss orders or manage risk manually, discipline and consistency will be the foundation of your success.
How does the scaling plan work?
The Upside Funding’s Scaling Plan is designed to reward consistent profitability by increasing your capital allocation without additional challenges or fees. As you prove your ability to manage risk and grow profits, your account grows with you.

How Scaling Works

  • Earn a 10% profit over 3 consecutive months while maintaining responsible risk management.
  • Your account balance increases by 25% at each scaling milestone.
  • Continue scaling up to $1.5M in total funding.
  • Your profit split remains up to 90%—the more you make, the more you keep.
Scaling allows traders to increase their capital responsibly without needing to restart the evaluation process. We invest in skilled traders who demonstrate consistency and discipline.
To qualify for account scaling, traders must meet the following conditions:

Profitability Requirement

  • Achieve a 10% profit over a rolling 3-month period.

Risk Management Criteria

  • No breaches of drawdown limits (refer to the relevant rules for either the 1-Step or
    2-Step Evaluations.)
  • Adherence to trading rules—no prohibited strategies or violations (refer to the
    relevant rules for either the 1-Step or 2-Step Evaluations.).

Trading Activity

  • Demonstrate consistency—scaling is based on stable, well-managed growth.

What Happens When You Qualify?

  • Your account balance increases by 25% at the next scaling milestone.
  • You keep the same profit split (up to 90%).
  • You continue scaling up to $1.5M as long as you meet the criteria.
Scaling is automated—if you meet the targets, your account upgrades seamlessly with no additional evaluation or fees. Upside Funding is here to grow with you.
Trader performance is reviewed every three months to determine eligibility for scaling. If you meet the scaling criteria—a 10% profit over the last 3 months while following risk management rules—your account will automatically be increased by 25%.

Key Points on Scaling Reviews:

  • Reviews occur every 90 days from the date you receive your funded account.
  • You do not need to apply—if you meet the requirements, your account scales
    automatically.
  • Performance is evaluated based on profitability, adherence to risk rules, and trading
    activity.   
  • There are no additional fees or retests—scaling is a reward for consistent traders.
The goal is to reward disciplined traders with more capital, allowing them to grow their account responsibly without resetting their progress.

Upside Funding’s scaling program allows traders to grow their capital up to $1.5 million.

  • Start with up to $300K in initial funding.
  • Scale in 25% increments every 3 months when profitability targets are met.
  • Maximum allocation: $1.5M per trader.
Once you reach $1.5M, your focus shifts to maximizing your profit split and compounding your gains. There are no additional scaling phases beyond $1.5M, but your profit share and payout frequency remain unchanged.

No—your profit split remains the same as your account scales.

  • Standard profit split: 70%
  • With add-ons: Up to 90%
  • No reductions in your share as your capital increases
This means that even as your account grows, your profit share stays high—allowing you to benefit fully from larger capital allocations without any hidden restrictions.
The Upside Funding’s Remote Trader Program is an exclusive opportunity for our top-performing traders to transition into a full-time proprietary trading position.

How Does It Work? 

  • Only the best traders who demonstrate consistent profitability and disciplined risk management will be considered.
  • Selected traders will receive a structured salary of up to $350,000 USD per year as a full-time employee of The Upside Funding Limited.
  • Remote traders continue trading firm capital with no personal financial risk while benefiting from added stability and growth potential.

How Can I Qualify?

Traders who reach the highest levels of funded capital and maintain strong performance metrics will be invited to apply.
At The Upside Funding, we don’t just fund traders—we build careers for elite performers.
How does the payout process work?
The Upside Funding provides a fast and straightforward payout process to ensure traders can access their profits without unnecessary delays. Here’s how it works:
1. Meet Profit Requirements – To request a payout, your funded account must be in profit and meet the required trading conditions.
2. Submit a Payout Request – Once eligible, you can request a withdrawal directly from your trader dashboard.
3. Approval & Processing – Our team verifies your request to ensure compliance with trading rules. This process is typically completed within 24 hours
4. Receive Your Funds – Once your KYC is complete and RISE account details have been provided to our team your payment will be made within 24 hours under our 24 hour payment protection guarantee.
With a focus on efficiency, our goal is to get your earnings to you as quickly and securely as possible.
Traders can request a payout every 14 days after becoming funded. The first payout is available once the account is in at least 4% profit and has completed at least five winning trading days. After the first withdrawal, payouts remain biweekly.
Upside Funding processes all funded trader payouts through RISE to ensure fast and secure transfers. Here’s how it works:
  •  Rise – Instant payouts with a simple and seamless process.
  • Affiliates Only: Affiliates can choose to be paid via RISE or bank transfer.

Key Payout Details:

  • Processing Time: Withdrawals are typically processed within 24 hours after approval.
  • Minimum Payout: $250 for funded traders; no minimum for affiliate payouts.
  • Fees: RISE charges a $50 fee per payment, which is passed on to the trader.
  • Currency Options: RISE supports payouts in any currency, including crypto.
  • VPN/VPS: Traders must turn off their VPN/VPS when setting up a RISE account.
Our goal is to provide secure and efficient payout solutions, ensuring traders receive their earnings with minimal friction.
Minimum Payout: $250 for funded traders; no minimum for affiliate payouts.

Fees: RISE charges a $50 fee per payment, which is passed on to the trader.

Are there any hidden fees?
No. The Upside Funding operates with full transparency—there are no hidden charges or surprise deductions.
  • No Monthly Fees – You only pay for the evaluation.
  • No Platform Fees – Access to trading platforms is included.
  • No Data Fees – Real-time market data is provided at no extra cost.
  • No Withdrawal Fees – Payouts are processed without deductions from Upside Funding (some third-party payment providers may have their own processing fees).
Everything is clearly outlined before you begin, so you always know what you’re paying for.
Yes. If you pass both evaluation phases and become a funded trader, your evaluation fee is fully refunded after your second payout. This ensures that your trading journey starts without financial risk on your end.
The refund is added on top of your payout—you don’t have to deduct it from your profits.
The Upside Funding accepts secure payments through:
  • Credit/Debit Cards – Visa, MasterCard, and Amex
  • Online Payment Systems
  • Crypto Payments 
All fees are charged in USD ($). If you pay in another currency, conversion rates and any applicable fees will be determined by your payment provider.
All transactions are encrypted and secured to protect your financial information. If you experience any payment issues, contact support@thefundingupside.com for assistance.
No. Evaluation fees are non-refundable if you violate the trading rules or breach the drawdown limits.
The registration fee covers access to the evaluation, trading platforms, and risk management infrastructure. Since the evaluation process is a test of trading skill and discipline, failing or breaching the rules means the challenge is over, and a new evaluation must be purchased to try again.
Traders are encouraged to review all risk parameters carefully before starting the challenge.
Is trading with The Upside Funding risky?
All trading carries risk, and success in the markets requires skill, discipline, and proper risk management. At Upside Funding, we structure our program to remove the financial downside for traders, allowing you to focus on your strategy without worrying about margin calls or account liquidation.

Here’s how we reduce trading risks for our traders:

  • No Personal Capital at Risk – You only pay an evaluation fee, and once funded, you trade with our capital, not yours.
  • Static Drawdowns – Unlike trailing drawdowns that tighten as you profit, our static drawdown limits remain fixed, giving you more room to manage risk.
  • No Hidden Rules – We don’t penalize traders for normal market conditions like slippage or minor execution differences. Our focus is realistic trading that mirrors live market conditions.
  • 1:1 Mentorship – Every funded trader gets direct access to experienced mentors, helping them refine their strategy and build long-term success.
  • Scaling to $1.5M – We reward responsible trading by increasing your capital, so you trade with more, risk less, and grow faster.
While we remove many of the risks that traders typically face, trading itself remains a performance-based skill. Proper risk management, patience, and a disciplined strategy are key to long-term success.

No, The Upside Funding does not provide financial, investment, or trading advice.

We are a proprietary trading firm, not a financial advisory service. While we offer mentorship, performance reviews, and educational resources, all trading decisions are made solely by the trader.
  • We do not guarantee profits.
  • We do not provide investment recommendations.
  • We do not tell traders when or what to trade.
Instead, we focus on developing skilled, independent traders by offering funding, feedback, and access to experienced mentors. Traders are encouraged to continuously improve their strategy and approach based on their own market understanding.
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.

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 restart.
  • If detected in a funded account – Your account may be closed, and any payouts forfeited.
While we remove many of the risks that traders typically face, trading itself remains a performance-based skill. Proper risk management, patience, and a disciplined strategy are key to long-term success.

The Upside Funding maintains a fair, transparent, and professional trading environment.

Violating our Terms & Conditions—whether through prohibited trading practices, misuse of accounts, or fraudulent behavior—can lead to immediate consequences, including termination of your account.

Potential consequences of violations:

  • Evaluation Disqualification – If a trader breaches the rules during the evaluation phase, the account will be failed, and they will need to restart by purchasing a new evaluation.
  • Funded Account Termination – If a funded trader violates the T&C, their account may be permanently closed, and any unpaid profits may be forfeited.
  • Permanent Ban – Severe violations, such as fraud, account sharing, or exploiting system vulnerabilities, may result in a lifetime ban from trading with Upside Funding.
  • Legal Action – In cases of deliberate fraud, manipulation, or chargeback disputes, Upside Funding reserves the right to take legal action.
We encourage all traders to read and understand the Terms & Conditions before participating. Our goal is to fund serious, responsible traders—not those looking to exploit the system. If you ever have questions about the rules, our team is always available to provide clarifications and guidance.

No, you cannot lose your own money when trading with Upside Funding.

  • You do not take personal financial losses if your funded account breaches.
  • You do not deposit money into a live trading account.
  • Your only financial commitment is the evaluation fee.

If you breach the drawdown limits or violate the trading rules:

  • Your funded account will be closed, but you will never owe any money to Upside Funding.
  • You are always free to purchase another evaluation and try again.
Unlike traditional trading, where traders risk their own capital, our model removes personal financial risk. We cover the downside—you focus on trading, improving, and scaling your profits.
Can I have multiple accounts?

Yes, traders can hold multiple funded accounts, but there are specific rules:

  • Evaluation Accounts – You can purchase and manage multiple evaluation accounts
    at the same time.
  • Funded Accounts – You can hold multiple funded accounts, but the total capital
    across all accounts cannot exceed $1.5M (the maximum scaling limit).
  • Account Merging – Upside Funding offers an option to merge funded accounts for
    easier management.
  • No Account Sharing – All accounts must be traded by you alone. Sharing accounts,
    using third parties to trade on your behalf, or copy trading between accounts is
    strictly prohibited.
If you need guidance on managing multiple accounts effectively, our team is available to help.
No, once an evaluation has been purchased, the account size cannot be changed or upgraded.

If you want to trade a different account size:

  • You will need to purchase a new evaluation with your preferred funding level.
  • Your current evaluation cannot be transferred to another account size.
We recommend choosing an account size that aligns with your strategy from the start. If you’re unsure, start with a manageable size and scale up as you gain confidence.

If you’re unable to access your account, follow these steps:

    1.  Reset Your Password – Click the “Forgot Password” option on the login page and
      follow the instructions to reset your credentials.
    2. Check Your Email – Ensure you’re using the correct email address registered with
      Upside Funding.
    3. Clear Cache & Try Another Browser – Sometimes, login issues are caused by
      browser caching or cookies.
    4. Contact Support – If you’re still locked out,
      email support@theupsidefunding.com with your account details for assistance.
For security reasons, accounts may be temporarily locked after multiple failed login attempts. If this happens, wait a few minutes before trying again or reach out to our team for help.
The Upside Funding allows traders to pause trading without pressure, but there are inactivity limits:
  • Evaluation Accounts – There are no inactivity restrictions during the evaluation phase. You can take as much time as needed to complete the challenge.
  • Funded Accounts – If you remain inactive for 30 consecutive days, your funded account may be deactivated. To keep your account active, simply place at least one trade every 30 day
If you need to take an extended break, reach out to support@theupsidefunding.com to discuss options for keeping your funded account open.
Your account details, trading performance, and certificates (if applicable) can be accessed in your Client Area:
  1. Log into your Upside Funding dashboard.
  2. Navigate to the Account Settings section.
  3. You’ll find details on your evaluation progress, funded account status, and any trading certificates you’ve earned.

Is The Upside Funding a regulated company?
Yes, The Upside Funding operates under the legal and regulatory framework of Hong Kong. While proprietary trading firms like The Upside Funding are not traditional financial institutions or brokers, we adhere to strict compliance standards to ensure transparency, security, and integrity in our operations.
Our structure ensures that traders face no counterparty risks, and all payouts, agreements, and processes follow legally enforceable terms under Hong Kong law.

The Upside Funding Limited is a legally registered company in Hong Kong, and all
services, agreements, and trading activities are governed by Hong Kong’s financial and
business regulations.

For traders, this means:

  • Clear legal protection—Your trading agreements and payouts follow a stable,
    enforceable legal framework.
  • Transparency and integrity—We operate in a jurisdiction known for strict
    compliance and high financial standards.
  • Global credibility—Hong Kong is a leading financial hub, giving traders confidence
    that they’re working with a firm built on real business foundations, not gimmicks.
At The Upside Funding—we build careers. Being a regulated proprietary firm means we follow structured legal processes that protect you as a trader.

Here’s why this matters:

  • Your payouts are secure – Every withdrawal request is processed in a legally compliant way, ensuring transparency.
  • Your agreement is legally enforceable – If you pass the evaluation and meet the trading objectives, your funding is backed by real legal protections.
  • We are accountable to real regulations – Unlike firms that operate in unregulated regions, we have business legitimacy under Hong Kong law.
As a trader, you need more than just capital—you need a firm that invests in your long-term growth and operates with integrity. That’s why we built The Upside Funding to be a firm traders can trust, backed by real legal structure and a mentorship-driven approach.

At The Upside Funding, your privacy and data security are a priority. We follow strict
compliance standards to ensure that your personal and trading data is protected and
used only for essential purposes.

Here’s how we handle your data:

  • Secure Storage – All trader information is stored on encrypted servers with access restricted to authorized personnel.
  • No Third-Party Sharing – We do not sell, lease, or share your personal data with third parties, except where legally required or for payment processing.
  • Limited Use – Your data is only used for account verification, evaluation processing, payouts, and internal analytics to improve our platform.
We believe traders should focus on their craft without worrying about security. That’s why we go beyond basic compliance and apply financial industry best practices to protect your data.
To maintain a secure and compliant trading environment, every trader must complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification before receiving a funded account or withdrawing profits.

The process includes:

  1. Identity Verification – Submit a government-issued ID (passport, driver’s license, or national ID).
  2. Address Confirmation – Provide a recent utility bill, bank statement, or official document matching your registration details.
  3. Selfie Verification – Upload a live photo of yourself to confirm identity and prevent fraud.
The KYC process is typically completed within 48 hours, and it ensures that we operate with legitimate traders while maintaining regulatory standards.

If you do not complete KYC verification, you will not be able to:

  • Withdraw profits from a funded account.
  • Access certain trader benefits, including scaling opportunities.
  • Receive funding, even if you successfully pass the evaluation phase.
To avoid delays, ensure that your documents are clear, valid, and match the details on your account. If there are any issues, our support team is available to guide you through the process and help resolve verification problems.
At The Upside Funding, KYC is not just a regulation—it’s part of our commitment to security, fairness, and ensuring a high-quality trading environment for all traders.
