Ignite is our Limited Drop 1-phase challenge. One evaluation. One target. A fixed stop-out that never trails. Hit 5% and you're funded. Account sizes from $5,000 to $1,500,000.
When this batch is gone, Ignite is gone. No restock. Ever.
Why Ignite?
Most 1-Step challenges punish your wins. Your drawdown trails your equity, locks in profits you haven't withdrawn, and turns a good week into a breach on the next pullback.
Ignite removes that. Your stop-out is set on day one and never moves. Up 2% or up 8%, your risk floor stays where it started. No trailing. No shield to chase. No surprise closures after a strong run.
On top of that, every profit you make during the challenge counts toward a 15% bonus once you prove yourself in the funded phase.
Static drawdown. Challenge profits that follow you into funded. Limited batch.
Available Account Sizes
$5,000 · $10,000 · $25,000 · $50,000 · $100,000 · $200,000 · $300,000 · $400,000 · $500,000 · $600,000 · $700,000 · $800,000 · $900,000 · $1,000,000 · $1,250,000 · $1,500,000
Challenge Phase Rules
Profit Target: 5%
Reach 5% profit on your account balance. All positions must be closed before the challenge is considered complete. No minimum trading days. Hit the target and you're done.
Daily Drawdown: 6%
Maximum loss allowed within a single trading day (00:00 to 23:59 UTC). On a $100,000 account, your maximum daily loss is $6,000.
Maximum Overall Loss: 10% (Static)
Your stop-out level is fixed at 10% below your starting balance. It never moves. Not up, not down. Regardless of how much profit you make, your floor stays where it began.
Example on a $100,000 account:
Scenario | Equity | Stop-Out | Status |
Start | $100,000 | $90,000 | Active |
Profit +$5,000 | $105,000 | $90,000 | Safe |
Loss -$6,000 | $99,000 | $90,000 | Safe |
Loss -$11,000 | $89,000 | $90,000 | BREACH |
No trailing. No dynamic shield. One line, never crossed.
Leverage: 1:100
Same leverage across all Upcomers programs. Full room to execute your edge.
No Time Limit
Take as long as you need. No deadline pressure.
15% Challenge Profit Share
The profits you make during the challenge don't disappear when you pass. They follow you.
Once your funded account reaches 20% cumulative growth, you receive 15% of the profit you earned during your challenge phase. Paid out alongside your standard funded payout.
Example: You finish the challenge with $5,000 profit on a $100,000 account. You reach 20% growth in funded. You receive an additional $750 on top of your next payout.
Two conditions apply:
The first is 20% cumulative growth in the funded phase.
The second is a clean payout record. If at any point during the funded phase you receive a Partially Approved or Declined payout, you permanently lose eligibility for the Challenge Profit Share bonus.
The reward goes to traders who stay consistent from day one to payout day.
How to Pass the Challenge
Reach at least 5% net profit. Stay above the 6% Daily Drawdown and the 10% Static Maximum Loss at all times. Close all positions before completion.
That's it. No minimum trading days. No waiting. Hit the target and move on.
Once you meet all conditions, you're eligible for a funded account after verification.
Funded Phase. This Is Where It Counts
You passed. The capital is real. The rules tighten.
Profit Split: 99%
You keep 99% of all profits. We keep 1%.
Daily Drawdown: 4%
On a $100,000 funded account, your maximum daily loss is $4,000.
Maximum Overall Loss: 6% (Static)
Same structure as the challenge, but tighter. Your stop-out is fixed at 6% below your starting balance and never moves. Build profits freely without a shifting floor chasing your equity.
Max Single Trade Loss: 1.5%
You cannot risk more than 1.5% of the initial account balance on any single trade. On a $100,000 account, that's $1,500. On a $500,000 account, it's $7,500.
Splitting trades into multiple positions on the same instrument in the same direction does not bypass this rule. They are counted as one trade. Violating this rule is a HARD BREACH. Your account will be terminated.
Minimum Trading Days: 5
You need at least 5 valid trading days before you can request a payout.
Daily March: 0.5%
A trading day only counts as valid if you close at least +0.5% realized profit for that day. Days where you trade but don't hit the 0.5% threshold do not count toward the 5-day requirement.
On a $100,000 account, each valid day must close with at least $500 in realized profit.
Best Day Rule: 20%
No single trading day can represent more than 20% of your total withdrawal amount.
This is a SOFT rule. It does NOT breach your account. It only delays your payout until your profit distribution is more balanced.
Example: You want to withdraw $10,000. Your best trading day must be $2,000 or less.
Exceeding the Best Day Rule does not breach your account. It only postpones your payout. Once your profit ratio becomes consistent again, you will be fully eligible to request your payout.
Attempting to bypass the rule (for example, by splitting one large trade into smaller partial closures or through hedging) is not allowed. In such cases, the entire trade may be treated as a single transaction for evaluation purposes.
Intentionally placing small trades to create artificial trading days for the purpose of meeting payout eligibility is considered bypassing the rule and is not permitted.
If such activity is detected, Upcomers may take corrective action including partial payout approval, denial of the payout request, or temporary or permanent account suspension.
