Good experience with the firm. The support team is responsive and helpful whenever I have questions.
I am evaluating Upcomers due to its highly competitive pricing ($15.90 for a $5K account) and clean platform UI. The Ignite and Ash evaluation models look interesting for retail traders. However, before purchasing higher evaluation account sizes ($100K–$1.5M), I need official clarification from the Upcomers team regarding three critical points. 1.What is the exact processing timeline for trader profit payouts, and which payment gateways do you use? 2.Are simulated funded accounts routed to live liquidity providers upon scaling, or do all accounts remain purely simulated under B-Book rules? 3.Are there any hidden lot-size rules, news trading restrictions, or minimum trading days that trigger automatic breaches during payout requests?
The fine print that decides whether traders pass or breach. Each rule below uses Upcomers 's specific values.
No consistency rules exist on their core Classic evaluations. However, an implicit "Best Day Rule" applies to Instant Funding configurations (Vanguard, Ember, Oracle), where a single trading day's gains cannot exceed 20% to 30% of your aggregate payout profits.
The cap varies by program: 0% on Ash, Ignite and Phoenix Classic.
Worked example: on a $10,000 profit under the Ash cap of 0%, no single day may exceed — in P&L.
High-impact economic releases (NFP, FOMC, CPI) are when most prop firms enforce restrictions. At Upcomers , news trading is permitted without restrictions.
News trading is fully permitted across all challenge and funded accounts; there are no restrictive pre- or post-news execution windows.
Worked example: with an absolute balance-based drawdown, the threshold is fixed at the start of the evaluation and does not trail your equity curve as you grow the account.
EAs and bots are permitted at Upcomers .
Standard Expert Advisors are permitted, provided they don't engage in malicious platform abuse (such as latency arbitrage or high-frequency tick spamming).
How your account grows once you're funded with Upcomers , and where the profit split ceiling sits.

Positive Final Balance: The account cannot be in drawdown at the end of the 4th month.
