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!!
My experience with Upside Funding has been great! Got my payout within 24 hours, everything was super smooth. Gemma is always so helpful, and the moderators Adrian, Tom, and Grace make the community really supportive. Honestly, one of the best firms I’ve worked with! 💯
A prop firm, short for proprietary trading firm, provides traders with access to company funds to trade global markets. Instead of risking your own capital, you trade the firm’s money and share a percentage of profits.
A prop firm evaluates traders through a challenge or assessment phase. Once you prove your consistency and risk management, you receive a funded account to trade the firm’s capital under set conditions.
A reliable prop trading firm offers transparent rules, fair profit splits, low trading costs, and responsive support. Upside Funding stands out by focusing on trader success, not hidden conditions or complex rules.
Join a prop firm challenge like Upside’s, achieve your profit target without breaching drawdown limits, and your funded account is activated once approved.
