How It Works
Step 1: Complete KYC Verification
Every trader must pass a quick identity verification via Veriff. It's a standard security step to confirm who you are. Takes 2-4 minutes.
Step 2: Sign the Traders Agreement
Once verified, you will receive an official Upcomers Traders Agreement — your personal contract confirming that you agree to the Terms & Conditions. Instant — one click.
Step 3: Start Trading
After you sign the agreement, our admin team reviews and approves your KYC. This typically happens within a few hours, up to a maximum of 24 hours. Once approved, your funded account is activated.
No evaluation. No delay once approved. Real funding. Immediate start.
Who It's Made For
Vanguard is not for beginners. It's for traders who:
Have a tested and profitable trading system
Can adapt to market volatility and switch strategies when needed
Are confident in their discipline and consistency
Value freedom, exclusivity and trust more than a challenge phase
If you already trade like a professional, Vanguard lets you do it.
Rules Explained
Daily Drawdown: 3%
Maximum loss allowed within a 24-hour period (00:00 – 23:59 UTC). Resets daily at 00:00 UTC.
Example: On a $100,000 account, your maximum daily loss is $3,000.
Maximum Overall Loss: 5% (Dynamic Risk Shield™)
Your account is protected by a limit that moves with your equity until it reaches your initial account balance, where it locks and stops moving higher.
How it works:
At the start, the level is set at 5% below your initial balance
As your equity makes new highs, the line trails upward, keeping the same 5% distance
Once the protection line reaches your initial balance, it stops moving up and stays locked
The shield never moves down
Example on a $100,000 account:
Your Equity | Protection Level | Description |
$100,000 (start) | $95,000 | 5% below initial balance |
$108,000 (new high) | $102,600 | Trailing up toward initial |
$112,000 (new high) | $100,000 | LOCKS at initial balance |
Drop to $102,000 | $100,000 | Still safe |
Drop to $99,500 | $100,000 | BREACH |
Once the Dynamic Risk Shield™ reaches your initial balance, it locks permanently.
Max Single Trade Loss: 2%
No single trade may exceed 2% loss of your initial funded account balance. Splitting trades into multiple positions on the same instrument in the same direction does not bypass this rule all are counted as one trade.
Account Size | Max Loss Per Trade |
$5,000 | $100 |
$10,000 | $200 |
$25,000 | $500 |
$50,000 | $1,000 |
$100,000 | $2,000 |
$200,000 | $4,000 |
$300,000 | $6,000 |
Violating this rule is a HARD BREACH and will lead to account termination.
Payout Requirement: 1%
Before requesting your first or any subsequent payout, you must generate at least 1% profit calculated from your initial balance.
Account Size | Min Profit Before Payout |
$5,000 | $50 |
$10,000 | $100 |
$25,000 | $250 |
$50,000 | $500 |
$100,000 | $1,000 |
$200,000 | $2,000 |
$300,000 | $3,000 |
How it works:
Applies to each payout separately
Resets after each successful withdrawal
Only closed trades count
Trade at your own pace
This ensures every payout reflects genuine trading activity.
Payout Eligibility: 3 Profitable Days
To become eligible for your first payout you must complete 3 trading days and each of those days must close with at least 0.5% profit compared to the previous day.
Best Day Rule: 20%
No single trading day may account for more than 20% of your total profits.
Important: This is a SOFT rule. Exceeding this limit does NOT breach your account it only delays payout eligibility until profit distribution is more balanced. Your account remains active.
When Is the Account Breached?
Your account is breached if:
Your equity breaches the Maximum Overall Loss limit (5%)
You exceed your daily drawdown limit (3%)
Your single trade loss exceeds 2%
Prohibited trading strategy detected
If a breach occurs:
The account is terminated
You lose further access to that account
You can start fresh by purchasing a new Vanguard account
