Lvlup charges no payout fee.
Both the evaluation and the funded account are simulated, unless a separate agreement says otherwise.
Elite trades real capital by risk-team invitation; standard Funded accounts use simulated capital.
- 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.
Core and Instant: every 10 active sessions. Rapid Daily: after one session; Rapid Futures 3D: every 3 sessions. Rapid closes after the fifth payout. Flex: every 5 days; the checkout requires 5 days of at least $200 (50K) or $400 (100K); maximum 5 payouts.
Approved payouts are processed within 48 hours at most, usually 24 to 48h.
The website advertises processing within 48 hours or a 100% split on that payout. Bank transfer or USDC ERC-20 according to the help center.
- 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.
Up to 50% of profits per request, before the split. Core/Instant 50K: $1,500/$2,000/$2,500 for payouts 1-2/3-4/5+; 100K: $2,000/$2,500/$3,000. Rapid Daily 50K: $1,000 for the first two, then $1,500; 100K: $1,500/$2,000. Rapid 3D 50K: $2,000; 100K: $2,000 for the first two, then $3,000. After the first payout, new profits of at least 50% of the next requested amount are required. Flex: capped per cycle; the amount is not published.
- Starter: $500 on every size.
- Lvlup: no published minimum.
No published minimum.
- 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.
Per contract per side: dxFeed $0.75 micro / $2 mini; Tradovate $0.80 / $2.88. CME L1 included; other exchanges and L2 cost extra. Tradovate is limited to DLL accounts; evaluations cannot migrate.
A failed account cannot be reset or reactivated: you have to buy a new evaluation.
Evaluation resets and up to two funded or Instant resets. Help articles exclude promotional accounts from resets, although the Welcome Futures checkout displays a reset price. Confirm before purchasing a Welcome 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.
Discretionary invitation to Elite with real capital and individual limits. The website also advertises a waiting list; automatic scaling is not guaranteed.
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.
EOD trailing: the threshold follows the highest closing value and never decreases. It locks at the initial balance when reached or after the first payout. Subsequent loss room consists of the profits left in the account.
80% on Lvlup and 100% on Starter.
No daily loss limit.
Core DLL and funded Rapid Daily: the checkout and help center specify one soft breach and account termination on the second breach. Flex: soft limit, which can be removed for $30 extra.
$1,000,000 per trader, adding up every active account, evaluation and funded.
No fixed number of accounts: the limit is the total capital.
Core and Instant: up to 10 funded accounts. Rapid and Flex: up to 5. One Welcome account per user. Unlimited evaluations; passed accounts can wait for an activation slot. Futures limits are separate from CFD/crypto limits.
- Lvlup: no expiry, but you must trade at least once every 30 days.
- Starter: 30 days from the first trade; it does not renew.
Accounts purchased from 22 October 2026 at 18:00: no time limit for evaluations or Instant accounts and no monthly fees; only the 8-day inactivity rule applies. Older accounts retain their renewal terms.
5 in the evaluation. Any day with at least one executed trade counts.
Core: no minimum evaluation days. Rapid: the help center specifies 3 evaluation days and consistency. Flex: no minimum; the target can be reached in one day.
- 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.
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.
- 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.
Your own bots are allowed, for the holder's own trading. High-frequency bots and bots that copy trades between different traders are forbidden.
Only self-developed or transparent systems with full source access and control over their logic. No commercial black-box bots, HFT or arbitrage.
Allowed for security or connectivity, never to conceal identity or bypass restrictions.
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.
No HFT or tick scalping. Payouts require the 15-second rule: at least half of trades and profits must come from trades exceeding that threshold, as described in payout help.
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.
Position Loss plans aggregate all trades in the same market, including fees, spread and slippage. Limit: 1% in evaluation and 0.5% funded/Instant. Two soft closures; the third breach ends the account. Rapid Futures does not use this limit.
Only between your own accounts, within contract and capital limits. Copying other traders or following signal groups is forbidden.
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.
Closure after 8 calendar days without trading. Opening or closing a trade resets the timer; an open position pauses it.
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%.
Core: 30% funded and Instant, none during evaluation. Rapid: 40% during evaluation; none for funded Rapid Daily. Rapid Futures 3D: 40% per funded cycle. Resets after each payout. Flex: no consistency rule in evaluation or funded.
