Lvlup charges no payout fee.

Rise: $35

Both the evaluation and the funded account are simulated, unless a separate agreement says otherwise.

Standard programs use simulated accounts.

Top performers may be selected for a tailored Live Analyst plan.

• 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.

Approved payouts are processed within 48 hours at most, usually 24 to 48h.

• 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.

• 100k account: $3,000

• Starter: $500 on every size.

• Beginner and HYPER: $250
• Instant Pro Plus and Instant Flex: 1% of the starting balance
• Instant Pro Plus Max: $500 / $750 / $1,000 for 25K / 50K / 100K

• 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.

Round-trip commissions vary by instrument.

The official instrument table publishes the exact round-trip cost for each contract.

A failed account cannot be reset or reactivated: you have to buy a new evaluation.

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.

Booster Tokens can erase eligible losses and restore account progress.

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.

• Beginner and Beginner Max: trailing End-of-Day drawdown
• HYPER Intra: intraday trailing drawdown
• HYPER Lite and HYPER Pro: trailing End-of-Day drawdown
• Instant Pro Plus and Instant Pro Plus Max: trailing End-of-Day drawdown
