Lvlup charges no payout fee.

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

After five payouts the account is reviewed for a possible live transition; it is not automatic. Initial 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.

Every 5 days; five payouts before account review.

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.

One and Signature: 5% of balance up to 75K and 4% on 100K and 150K. Instant: 5% at all sizes.

• Starter: $500 on every size.
• Lvlup: no published minimum.

One and Signature: $100. Instant: $500.

• 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.

Positive net profit across the payout cycle. KYC and Trader Agreement. Shared wallets are not accepted; failed KYC means forfeiture of gains and account closure. Optional store credit is irrevocable and expires after one year.

Liquidity-provider commissions vary by instrument and platform; check specifications.

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.

Remove Lock on Payout: +25%, Signature and Instant. Payout Protector: +25%, Signature only. Optional add-ons; checkout indicates they are included in renewal.

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.

End-of-day trailing. Signature and Instant: the threshold retains its pre-payout level after a payout, unless Remove Lock on Payout is purchased. Papaya One has no lock on payout since 6 November 2026.
