Summer Plan $100K:

The $200,000 Summer 2-Step does not scale; its balance remains fixed at $200,000.

Scaling Plan for Thunderbolt and Vanguard accounts:

• Apply every 4 consecutive months via help@upcomers.com.
• +35% increase on simulated initial balance per cycle.
• Maximum allocation scalable up to $4,000,000.
  Requirements per cycle:
• ≥15% cumulative account growth across the 4 months.
• ≥2 withdrawals completed in the 4-month period.
• Final cycle must end in profit.
  Separate "4M on request" individual contract available after 6+ consecutive profitable months.

Balance-based

Current CFD programs use two systems:

• Dynamic Risk Shield™: 6% on Ash and Thunderbolt, 10% on Phoenix Legacy, 8% on Vanguard, 5% on Oracle and 4% on Ember. It trails the equity high-water mark and locks at the initial balance where specified.
• Static maximum loss: 6% on Phoenix Classic. The floor is fixed from the initial balance.
  Percentages and behavior are shown per phase in the challenge catalogue.
• Horizon and Odyssey: Dynamic Risk Shield™ follows the highest equity, only moves upward and stops at the initial balance, in evaluation and funded phases.

Bootcamp and Hyper-Growth: Starts at 50%. It grows up to 100% through scaling
High Stakes and ProGrowth: Starts at 80%. It grows up to 100% through scaling
Summer 1-Step: 75%/25% (fixed across scaling tiers, limited-time)
Summer 2-Step: 80%/20% (fixed, limited-time; the $200K does not scale)

Standard profit split: 90%. A trader can select 80% or 100% at checkout; changing the split also changes the Challenge price. The selected split remains linked to that account, and older accounts retain their original conditions.

Highest balance or equity recorded at the end of the day (EOD high-watermark).

Daily pause (only Bootcamp): The 3% daily pause applies only to funded accounts. Traders can continue trading the very next day at 00:00 MT5 Server Time.

ProGrowth: 3% daily loss (highest between starting equity or starting balance of the day at MT5 Server Time). No daily pause.

Summer Plan: The EOD calculation uses the higher of balance or equity. Reaching the daily loss limit permanently terminates the account.

Resets daily at 00:00 UTC and is calculated under the rules of each program. Current limits:

• Ash Classic/Turbo and Thunderbolt Classic/Turbo: 3%
• Phoenix Classic: 4%
• Phoenix Legacy: 5%
• Vanguard and Oracle: 4%
• Ember: no daily drawdown

Bootcamp: Risking more than 2% of the account balance in a single position will be considered a risk violation.
