In prop trading you trade the firm's capital rather than your own money. Access to an account of up to $200,000 opens with no deposit: you only pay the challenge fee, starting at $59. Profit is shared — 80% to the trader, or 90% with the 90/10 option. Market risk does not disappear, but a loss on the trading account does not touch your personal funds: all you can lose is the price of the challenge.
Create an account whichever way suits you — with Telegram, Google or a crypto wallet. No KYC or documents are needed. Then choose the challenge format, the account size and the asset category, pay for the challenge and start trading. Once the challenge conditions are met, the account moves to the funded stage and you trade Upscale's capital with an 80–90% profit share.
A challenge is a test of trading skill and discipline. You need to reach the profit target without breaching the daily and maximum drawdown limits, and to collect the minimum number of profit days. That is how you show that you trade systematically and keep risk under control. There are three formats: Basic with two stages, Accelerated with one, and Turbo, which opens straight at the funded stage with no evaluation.
Account sizes run from $5,000 to $200,000, and you choose the size yourself when buying a challenge. You can hold several accounts: the combined notional of active Basic and Accelerated funded accounts is capped at $400,000, while Turbo accounts have a separate $100,000 cap. The two caps are counted independently.
