Lvlup charges no payout fee.
No fixed fee published. Any processing or network fee is shown before you confirm; bank and network charges are paid by the trader.
Both the evaluation and the funded account are simulated, unless a separate agreement says otherwise.
- 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.
On demand, as soon as the conditions are met.
Approved payouts are processed within 48 hours at most, usually 24 to 48h.
No guaranteed time: the payout policy neither promises nor estimates one. Every request gets an automatic receipt and every payout a verifiable certificate.
- 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.
Before the split. One Step 25K/50K/100K/150K: $1,000/$2,000/$2,500/$3,000 on the first payout and $1,500/$2,500/$3,000/$3,500 after. Instant: $1,000/$2,000/$3,000/$4,000 on every payout. The rest rolls into the next one.
- Starter: $500 on every size.
- Lvlup: no published minimum.
$500 before the split. Crypto payouts: at least $100.
- 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.
Every position closed. Funded One Step: balance above the buffer plus 1% of the starting balance, 3 profitable days (+0.25%) and the 40% rule. Instant: a profit milestone before each payout ($1,450, $3,000, $5,000 or $8,000 on 25K, 50K, 100K or 150K), 5 profitable days and the 20% rule.
A failed account cannot be reset or reactivated: you have to buy a new evaluation.
One Step: after an evaluation breach, a restart within 14 days at the same price. Funded One Step: a reset within 14 days, at most twice and before the first payout. Instant: no reset; a new account at a reduced price is offered for 3 days.
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.
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.
One Step: end-of-day trailing, rising with the closing balance. Instant: intraday trailing on peak equity, open profit included. Both lock once they reach the starting balance. Touching it ends the account.
80% on Lvlup and 100% on Starter.
90% on both plans.
No daily loss limit.
Soft limit: reaching it closes positions and stops trading until the next session; the account stays open. One Step 25K has none.
$1,000,000 per trader, adding up every active account, evaluation and funded.
$1.5M per person across all CFD and futures accounts.
Funded One Step: a buffer equal to the max loss that stays on the account and is never paid out. Instant has none.
No fixed number of accounts: the limit is the total capital.
One user per person, with as many accounts as the $1.5M limit allows. Up to 5 accounts per order, with a 10% to 25% bundle discount.
- Lvlup: no expiry, but you must trade at least once every 30 days.
- Starter: 30 days from the first trade; it does not renew.
No time limit.
5 in the evaluation. Any day with at least one executed trade counts.
No minimum in the evaluation: it can be passed 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.
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.
Before each payout: 3 days at +0.25% of the starting balance on funded One Step and 5 on Instant. The evaluation needs none.
- 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.
One-off fee. Includes 30 days of market data; then $35 per 30 days ($540 a month for professional subscribers).
Your own bots are allowed, for the holder's own trading. High-frequency bots and bots that copy trades between different traders are forbidden.
No EAs or automated trading on futures.
Hiding your location with a VPN, proxy or remote desktop is prohibited and triggers a new identity check. Your own EA on a VPS is allowed if disclosed.
Allowed within the same account. Forbidden across accounts, yours or another firm's.
Within one account, yes (mini against micro or different contracts). Prohibited across accounts.
No minimum trade duration, but no HFT and no sub-60-second trades at the contract limit.
Yes, but trades under 30 seconds may make at most 50% of profit; until it is back under, no pass or payout.
Allowed when used responsibly within the contract and loss limits; aggressive sequences are reviewed.
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.
A cap on contracts open at once; exceeding it once is a warning, the second time goes to review.
Only between your own accounts, within contract and capital limits. Copying other traders or following signal groups is forbidden.
Only between your own futures accounts or from your own master account. Copying others or signals is prohibited.
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.
Free during the One Step evaluation. Funded and on Instant, no trade may be opened or closed 2 minutes either side of red USD news: profit from those trades is removed. Two warnings; the third goes to review.
At least one trade every 30 days; the timer cannot be paused. On Lvlup it also applies once funded.
15 days without trading deactivates the account; an open position does not count.
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%.
No day may exceed 40% of the cycle's profit on funded One Step (none in the evaluation) or 20% on Instant. Until met, the payout waits.
