Lvlup charges no payout fee.
2.5% per payout. Minimum fee: USD 25 for bank wire or Rise; USD 5 for crypto.
Both the evaluation and the funded account are simulated, unless a separate agreement says otherwise.
By risk-team invitation; the transition cannot be requested or declined. Eligibility reference: at least ten payouts totaling USD 50,000, with possible earlier invitations. One live account per trader. At most 15% of the sim funded account size transfers; excess profit does not carry over. Paid professional data required.
- Lvlup: every 14 days. The days in the cycle do not need to be profitable.
- Starter: after every 5 profitable days. 5 payouts at most; the fifth closes the account.
Prime and Direct sim funded: every seven calendar days from the first trade of the cycle; after a payout the next trade starts a new cycle. Live: daily requests.
Approved payouts are processed within 48 hours at most, usually 24 to 48h.
Processing within one hour of an eligible request, following a prior review of up to 24 business hours. Business days only; KYC or incomplete details may cause delays.
- Lvlup: 10% of the starting balance per payout.
- Starter: 4% on 25K and 50K, 2.5% on 100K and 2% on 150K, never more than 50% of the profit generated.
Prime and Direct sim funded payout caps, ordered first / second / third / fourth and subsequent:
- 25K: USD 1,000 / 1,250 / 1,500 / 2,000.
- 50K: USD 1,500 / 2,000 / 2,500 / 3,000.
- 100K: USD 2,000 / 2,500 / 3,000 / 4,000.
- 150K: USD 2,500 / 3,000 / 4,000 / 5,000.
- Starter: $500 on every size.
- Lvlup: no published minimum.
Prime and Direct sim funded, by size: 25K, USD 250; 50K, USD 500; 100K, USD 1,000; 150K, USD 1,500. Rise requires at least USD 500 of the trader share. Live: USD 500 including the firm share.
- KYC with Sumsub before the funded account. The payout method must belong to the verified holder.
- Lvlup: the 40% consistency rule must be met when you request the payout.
- Starter: the account is locked from the request until the payout is approved.
- The full requested amount comes off the balance and the drawdown is not reset.
KYC, agreement and interview before the first payout; account review for every request and further checks when required. After a payout the loss floor becomes the starting balance: retain enough profit to avoid touching it. Consistency resets even after a partial payout.
A failed account cannot be reset or reactivated: you have to buy a new evaluation.
Failed challenges can be repurchased at any time. Funded accounts cannot be reset.
Payout Protector (+25% of the price): if a funded account fails while in profit, they review the case and may pay what was eligible. It does not prevent the breach or keep the account open, and it must be added at purchase.
Direct Account: funded access without any evaluation phase.
1-Step Prime Challenge: single-phase evaluation with a profit target and consistency requirement.
End-of-day trailing: it follows the highest closing balance and updates once the day ends; intraday moves do not shift it. On Lvlup it stops trailing once the account is up 6% and locks at the starting balance; Starter does not publish that lock. Touching it closes the account.
Evaluation and sim funded: trails the highest end-of-day balance, not intraday unrealized peaks. It only rises and locks at the starting balance after earning the drawdown distance. A payout fixes the floor at the starting balance even if it had not locked yet. Touching it with balance or equity closes the account.
80% on Lvlup and 100% on Starter.
Each product split is listed in its challenge. The live program has its own split and starting-balance release requirements.
No daily loss limit.
Prime evaluation and sim funded: no daily cap. Direct: based on the previous closing balance; reaching it closes positions and pauses trading until the next day, without terminating the account for that isolated event. Maximum-loss breaches still terminate the account.
$1,000,000 per trader, adding up every active account, evaluation and funded.
Combined sim funded and Direct: up to USD 500,000 or five accounts, whichever comes first. Combined Forex and Futures: USD 800,000. One live account may additionally be held.
No fixed number of accounts: the limit is the total capital.
At most five sim funded or Direct accounts, subject to total allocation; one additional live account. Unlimited evaluation purchases.
- Lvlup: no expiry, but you must trade at least once every 30 days.
- Starter: 30 days from the first trade; it does not renew.
Unlimited on all plans.
5 in the evaluation. Any day with at least one executed trade counts.
None on any plan.
- Lvlup: activation fee after passing, due within 30 days. It is lower if the evaluation was monthly. No monthly fee once funded.
- Starter: no activation fee.
Sim funded: no monthly membership fee; Level 1 data included. Live: professional data, USD 130 per exchange per month or USD 520 for all four, without proration.
Lvlup Elite: 1 point per dollar paid out by Lvlup and 200 per passed Lvlup account; verified payouts and passes at other futures firms count too. 10,000 points unlock 12 months in a club with events and trips, where each point is worth $1. It cannot be bought.
- Lvlup: none; payouts follow 14-day cycles.
- Starter: 5 profitable days before each payout.
Prime sim funded: five non-consecutive profitable days in every payout cycle, not only the first. Minimum daily profit: 25K, USD 100; 50K, USD 150; 100K, USD 200; 150K, USD 250. Direct has no profitable-day minimum.
- Lvlup: monthly or one-time payment, your choice. The monthly fee runs while the evaluation is open and stops when you pass, fail or cancel.
- Starter: one-time payment only.
- On Volumetrica, Lvlup monthly ($129, $225, $369 and $476) and Starter ($161, $226, $291 and $356) cost more. Lvlup one-time costs the same on both platforms.
1-Step Prime is a subscription that renews automatically every 30 days until passing or cancellation. It cannot be paused. Cancellation loses progress and returning requires a new purchase.
Live program: whenever accumulated profit reaches 100% of the reference balance, the account grows by 10%. Payouts count toward profit and eligibility is reviewed on payout requests. The Forex scaling ladder does not automatically apply to Futures sim funded.
After a payout the balance must stay above the starting balance, which becomes the loss floor. Withdrawing all profit would leave no room above that limit.
Size-based limits are listed on each challenge. Standard mini:micro ratio is 1:10; Micro Silver has double weighting, and MBT/MET count as minis. No progressive sim funded contract-scaling plan is documented. Live has separate limits.
Your own bots are allowed, for the holder's own trading. High-frequency bots and bots that copy trades between different traders are forbidden.
Allowed within the same account. Forbidden across accounts, yours or another firm's.
No minimum trade duration, but no HFT and no sub-60-second trades at the contract limit.
There is no universal minimum holding time. A systematic pattern of sub-three-minute trades without a plan, tick scalping, HFT or latency exploitation is prohibited.
Contract limit by account size, counting all open exposure together (1 mini = 10 micros). Risking an outsized share of the account on a single move is forbidden.
Sim funded and Direct: 2% of the initial balance per idea on Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts; legacy DX Futures accounts use 1%. Not applicable during evaluation. Overlapping positions and same-asset, same-direction re-entries within ten minutes are combined.
Only between your own accounts, within contract and capital limits. Copying other traders or following signal groups is forbidden.
Only own Hola Prime challenge or sim funded accounts within the same environment. The lead must have the lowest contract limit. Third-party copiers are used at the trader responsibility; external or other-person accounts cannot be copied.
Allowed in evaluation and funded, with no 3-minute restriction. The general terms of Prop Account, the company running the evaluations, do forbid opening positions 3 minutes before and after a news event.
At least one trade every 30 days; the timer cannot be paused. On Lvlup it also applies once funded.
Evaluation and sim funded: complete at least one round-trip trade within each seven-day period. Live: suspension after 30 calendar days; opening or closing a trade counts as activity.
40%: your best day cannot exceed 40% of total profit. On Lvlup it applies in the evaluation and at every payout request; on Starter, only in the evaluation. Exceeding it does not fail the account: you keep trading until it drops below 40%.
1-Step Prime Challenge: 40%. Prime funded account: 35%. Direct Account: 20%.

Close daily before 15:30 CT; the trader must be flat by 15:28 CT without relying on risk-team flattening. Observe earlier agricultural and holiday closes. Sunday-evening to Monday trading belongs to one session and is permitted.
Legitimate connections and VPNs outside restricted countries are permitted. Own devices only; travel may require verification. Device or identity sharing may close all accounts.
Stop losses required in sim funded and Direct; without one, a trade is treated as unlimited risk. The per-idea risk rule does not apply during evaluation. No fixed three-minute stop-placement deadline is documented here.
