Which Instant Funding Program Should I Choose?

Upcomers offers four instant funding programs. All share the same core benefit: no evaluation phases, no waiting, and a 99% profit split. They differ in time structure, risk limits, and how payouts work. This guide helps you choose the right one.

Vanguard and Oracle are open-ended programs with no time limit and no profit target. You trade at your own pace and request payouts when you meet the activity and consistency requirements.

SUPERNOVA and HYPERNOVA are session-based programs with a fixed time window, a profit target, and a single payout at the end. Once the timer expires, the account closes.

Vanguard — the most flexible option. Widest risk limits among instant funding programs (2% single trade loss, 6% max drawdown). No time pressure. Best for experienced traders who want maximum room to manage positions their own way. For full rules, see "VANGUARD - Instant Funding Program."

Oracle — the most accessible entry point. Lowest price across all Upcomers programs. Tighter risk limits than Vanguard (1% single trade loss, 5% max drawdown, 15% best day rule). Built for disciplined traders who prioritize risk control. For full rules, see "Upcomers Oracle – Low-Cost Instant Funding."

SUPERNOVA — one 24-hour session, 3% profit target, no payout cap. Uses the Nonstop Dynamic Risk Shield™, which never locks and always trails your equity. For traders who can deliver consistent results within a single trading day. For full rules, see "SUPERNOVA – 24-Hour Instant Funding."

HYPERNOVA — same structure as SUPERNOVA but compressed to 4 hours with a 2% target. For high-conviction traders who read the market fast and don't need a full day. For full rules, see "HYPERNOVA – 4-Hour Instant Funding."

Vanguard and Oracle use the standard Dynamic Risk Shield™, which locks once it reaches your initial balance. SUPERNOVA and HYPERNOVA use the Nonstop Dynamic Risk Shield™, which never locks and always keeps trailing — this is more aggressive and requires tighter risk management.

SUPERNOVA and HYPERNOVA use a Best Trade Rule (per individual trade), not a Best Day Rule (per trading day). This is a key distinction that affects how you plan your execution.

Oracle does not list Expert Advisors in its prohibited strategies. SUPERNOVA and HYPERNOVA explicitly prohibit EAs.
