Payout policy
Funded traders keep 100% of their first $10,000 in profits and 90% of net profits above that. Withdrawals are unlimited and available from the first day of funding, including during the 90 day probationary period.
Each account size carries a withdrawal profit threshold that must be reached before a request can be made: $1,500 on the $25,000 account, $2,500 on $50,000, $3,500 on $100,000, $5,000 on $150,000 and $5,500 on $250,000. Only profit accumulated above the threshold is withdrawable.
- Requests are submitted by email to the funding provider and may be made any time from Monday to Friday. They are processed the same day once the threshold has been met.
- The minimum transfer is $1,000 of the trader's profit share. There is no maximum withdrawal amount.
- Bank wire transfers may post within 1 to 3 business days, depending on the receiving bank.
- Cryptocurrency withdrawals are limited to one request per calendar week and capped at $3,000 per request. Anything above $3,000 must be taken by bank wire. Crypto requests may take up to 14 business days to complete.
- Crypto payments carry a 5% fee charged by the payment processor, and any exchange conversion costs are borne by the trader.
Crypto transfers cannot be reversed once sent, so supplying the correct wallet address and network type is the trader's responsibility. Funded traders are treated as independent contractors, and their profit share is ordinary income.

Trading costs
Trade commissions, exchange fees, regulatory fees and platform fees are simulated into the account balance as trades are executed, which means they also count against the trailing drawdown calculation.
- Micro contracts are charged $2.00 round turn during the evaluation and $1.20 round turn on a funded account.
- Real time market data, including Level 2, is free on both evaluation and funded accounts. There is no separate data fee at any stage.
- A NinjaTrader license key is provided free for the evaluation and remains usable on the NinjaTrader desktop version once funded.
- R Trader and R Trader Pro, provided through Rithmic as the firm's data feed provider, are free on both evaluation and funded accounts. Any platform that supports a Rithmic connection may be used.
- Once funded, the licence costs of any other trading platform are the trader's own responsibility.

- Overnight holdingNot allowed on any plan
OneUp Trader runs a single evaluation phase on simulated futures accounts, and the trading rules are the same across every account size.
- News trading: there are no restrictions on trading around news releases during the evaluation. Once funded, traders must be flat one minute before, during and after a major economic release.
- Trading hours: the trading day runs from 5:00 PM CT to 3:15 PM CT the following day. All positions must be closed by 3:15 PM CT, and no position may be opened between 3:15 PM CT and 5:00 PM CT.
- Overnight and weekend holding: not permitted. Positions cannot be carried past the 3:15 PM CT close, and no trading is allowed from 3:15 PM CT on Friday until the market reopens at 5:00 PM CT on Sunday.
- Copy trading: permitted across multiple funded accounts held in the trader's own name, for risk management and strategy diversification. Copy trading between accounts belonging to different individuals, group trading and trading in concert are prohibited.
- Hedging: hedging positions in any form across multiple funded accounts is prohibited.
- Prohibited techniques: micro scalping, high frequency trading, latency arbitrage and tick scalping with a trade duration under 10 seconds, along with any strategy that exploits market data errors or inefficiencies.
- Instruments: a defined list of CME futures spanning equity indices, interest rates, currencies, energy, metals, agriculture and the micro E-mini contracts.
- Position size: a maximum position size applies across all open positions in all products at any one time, ranging from 3 contracts on the smallest account to 25 contracts on the largest. Micro contracts count against the same limit during the evaluation, while funded traders may request up to 10 micro contracts in place of each standard contract.
Consistency rules
A consistency requirement applies during the evaluation only. It does not apply to funded accounts.
Traders must have three other best trading days' net profits total summed up to equal 80% or more of the largest day's net profit.
The worked example published by the firm:
- Best trading day: $1,000 net after commissions.
- 80% of the largest trading day: $800. The sum of the three other best trading days must reach or exceed this.
- Second best day $400, third best day $300, fourth best day $240.
- $400 + $300 + $240 = $940, which clears the $800 requirement.
The requirement can also be satisfied across two days, for example a largest day of $1,000 against a second day of $800.
The stated purpose is to show a regular trading pattern rather than a single outsized day followed by scalping, so that a funded placement reflects repeatable results.
Firm rules
Beyond the trailing drawdown, these are the conditions that decide whether an evaluation account qualifies for funding and whether a funded account stays open.
During the evaluation
- A minimum of 10 trading days is required, consecutive or not, excluding holidays and weekends. There is no maximum, and the evaluation can run for as long as the subscription stays active.
- The profit target is an overall target for the evaluation, not a daily or weekly one.
- There is no daily loss limit on either evaluation or funded accounts.
- A monthly renewal does not reset the account balance. Trade history, executions and days traded all carry across the renewal date.
- After a rule breach, a balance reset can be purchased at any time from the dashboard, at $50 for the $25,000 and $50,000 accounts and $100 for all larger sizes. Resets are processed immediately and can take up to 30 minutes to appear.
Once funded
- Dynamic scaling targets govern how position size may be increased.
- Weekly trade volume must be at least 50% of the average number of trades completed during the evaluation. It is assessed at the end of each trading week and prorated around exchange holidays. Extended inactivity needs an approved account hold.
- Through the initial 90 day probationary period, net profit and loss must be above the initial starting balance at the end of each 15 calendar day interval. Discretionary warnings are issued when the balance sits below that line.
- A trader may hold a maximum of three funded accounts at once, or one in the case of an Express Funding account.
- Valid government issued identification is required once funded.
