YOU MAY NOT PURCHASE, ACCESS OR USE BREAKOUT IF:

• You are a resident or citizen of the United Arab Emirates (UAE)

• You are a resident, citizen or are currently located in any of the following countries or territories:

By purchasing or using BREAKOUT, you represent and warrant that:

• You are not a resident or citizen of any Prohibited Jurisdiction listed above

• You are not accessing BREAKOUT from any Prohibited Jurisdiction

YOU MAY NOT PURCHASE, ACCESS OR USE BREAKOUT IF:

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to purchase and use BREAKOUT.

By purchasing or using BREAKOUT, you represent and warrant that you meet the applicable age requirement in your jurisdiction and that you have full legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

The BREAKOUT CONTROL Challenge is a performance-only simulation and behavioral evaluation with a fixed $10,000 research incentive.

• It runs on a demo (simulated) account.

• It does not include a funded account, scaling, profit split, or payout cycles.

• It is designed purely to test your consistency, discipline, and risk control and to generate a high-quality behavioral dataset.

This is not real-money trading and not a financial product.

All numbers are simulated and used only inside the evaluation environment.

If you successfully complete all 3 phases of the BREAKOUT CONTROL Challenge, and pass all audits, you may receive a one-time fixed research incentive of $10,000, paid in cash:

This is not a payout from trading profits and not a funded account – it is a fixed research incentive for completing the entire simulation and delivering a full SDCD Dataset (behavioral dataset).

Currently, in the CONTROL (10K) configuration, only full completion of all 3 phases can result in the $10,000 reward. Partial completion does not receive any payment.

• Trading account size: $1,000,000 demo balance (simulated, not real money).

• No time limit to complete the challenge – you can progress at your own pace, as long as you follow all rules.

All profit targets and risk limits are calculated using this $1,000,000 demo balance.

The challenge consists of 3 phases with the following parameters:

✔ Positions must be closed to complete a phase

✔ Each “Minimum Trading Day” counts only when closed profit ≥1% of initial balance

✔ No time limit - complete at your own pace

A trading day (in the simulation) is counted only when:

1. Your net closed profit for that day is at least 1% of the initial balance for the current phase.

2. Only closed trades count - floating (open) trades are excluded.

3. Trades opened before midnight and closed after midnight count for the next day.

4. Trading days are based on UTC time (00:00–23:59).

If you don’t close at least +1% on a given day, that day does not count towards the minimum trading days.

BREAKOUT introduces a brand-new concept: Dynamic Risk Shield™ which never lock, designed by Upcomers the first implementation of this mechanism in any trading challenge worldwide.

How it works

Traditional Dynamic Risk Shield™ usually:

• follows the High-Water Mark (HWM) based on equity,

• stops Dynamic Risk Shield™ (“locks”) after reaching initial balance or a profit threshold.

In BREAKOUT MODE:

• The Dynamic Risk Shield™ continually follows your real-time High-Water Mark (HWM) – based on equity.

• It never locks, never freezes, never resets back to the starting balance.

• Dynamic Risk Shield™ limit always moves up when your equity reaches a new high.

• It never freezes, never locks and never resets to the starting balance.

• If your equity falls below the active Dynamic Risk Shield™ limit → breach.

This creates consistent, real-time risk control with zero buffer and no protection zones after profit.

To complete a phase:

1. Your closed profit (not just floating equity) must reach or exceed the profit target for that phase.

2. All positions must be closed when you hit the target.

3. You must also have completed the minimum number of trading days for that phase.

4. You must not have breached any risk rules (Dynamic Risk Shield™, daily drawdown, single trade loss).

If your floating equity reaches the target but trades remain open → the target is not considered completed.

Once closed profit equals or exceeds the target and all other conditions are met, you advance to the next phase.

Your simulated account is considered breached if:

• You exceed your daily drawdown limit, or

• Your equity breaches the Dynamic Risk Shield™ limit, or

• Your single trade loss limit (based on equity) is reached.

If a breach occurs:

• the current challenge run is failed,

• you lose further progress in that run,

• the $10,000 reward for that run cannot be paid,

• you can start a new run by purchasing a new challenge.

No.

Unlike other products, CONTROL BREAKOUT is purely a performance simulation with a fixed research incentive:

• no funded account,

• no profit split,

• no scaling,

• no ongoing payouts.

You are never trading real funds from Upcomers; everything is simulated.

Your objective in the CONTROL BREAKOUT Challenge is to:

• Trade through all 3 phases on the $1,000,000 demo balance,

• Hit all profit targets,

• Respect all risk rules (Dynamic Risk Shield™ which never locks, daily drawdown, single trade loss),

• Complete the required minimum trading days in each phase,

• Pass all audits and integrity checks,

and then receive a one-time $10,000 cash research incentive, paid directly.

Q: Am I trading on a $10,000 or a $1,000,000 account?
​A: You trade on a $1,000,000 simulated account – always. All profit targets, risk limits, daily drawdown, and Dynamic Risk Shield™ calculations are based on this $1,000,000 demo balance.

However, the reward is not based on the account size and it is not a profit split.

The reward for completing the entire challenge is a fixed one-time research incentive of $10,000, paid only if all conditions are met:

So in simple terms:

There is no funded phase, no scaling, no ongoing payouts – just one fixed research incentive for delivering the full SDCD behavioral dataset.
