Your Upcomers dashboard and the DXtrade platform are separate logins that do separate jobs.

DXtrade is the trading platform. It is where every position, order, fill, and live P&L number lives. Use it in the moment: to place trades, to watch what is open, and to see your equity move tick by tick.

The Upcomers dashboard is where you bought and manage your account. Use it for the scorecard: how much profit you have made toward the 6% target, how much drawdown room you have left, whether you are still in the evaluation or funded phase, and the status of any payout you have requested.

The two do not always update at the same instant. DXtrade is real time. The dashboard reads your account data and can lag a moment behind the platform, so when a number matters right now (your live equity, your open P&L), trust DXtrade.

The account bar runs across the top of DXtrade and shows your live account metrics. These are the numbers that decide whether you are inside or outside your account rules.

Balance: your closed, settled account value. It only moves when a trade is closed.

Equity: Balance plus the P&L of every open position. This is the number your drawdown is measured against, so watch Equity, not just Balance.

P&L (open): the combined unrealized profit or loss of your open positions right now.

Used Margin: the margin the exchange is holding for your open positions.

Free Margin: equity you have left to open new positions.

Margin Level: equity as a percentage of used margin.

Balance, Equity, P&L, and the margin figures are always shown in the account bar, so you can read your live account state at a glance.

Why Equity is the one to watch: your trailing drawdown (Dynamic Risk Shield™) and your daily drawdown are both measured on equity, which includes open P&L. A trade that is deep in the red pulls your equity down even before you close it, so a position can put you over a drawdown limit while it is still open. See the drawdown articles for how each limit is calculated.

Two panels track your live activity, usually docked below the chart.

Positions panel: every open trade you hold right now. Each row shows the symbol, side (long or short), quantity in contracts, fill (entry) price, current price, any attached stop loss and take profit, used margin, and live P&L. This is where you monitor and close trades. A close button sits on each row, and a close-all button flattens everything at once.

Orders panel: your working (pending) orders that have not filled yet, such as limit and stop orders resting in the market. Each row shows the symbol, order type, side, quantity, and price. You can modify or cancel a working order straight from this panel, and a cancel-all button clears them together.

Remember DXtrade sizes everything in contracts, not lots. A quantity of 1 is one contract of that instrument (one ES, one MES, one GC).

Once a position closes, it moves out of the Positions panel and into your history. DXtrade keeps a full record you can review and export.

Order history: every order you placed, including filled, cancelled, and rejected ones, with timestamps.

Trade (fill) history: your executed fills, with entry and exit prices and the realized P&L on each closed trade.

Account statement: a period summary of your closed P&L, fees, and cash movements.

DXtrade also includes a performance summary of your closed trades (win rate, average win and loss, and similar stats), and you can filter your history by date and export it to CSV for your own records.

Tip: your closed-trade history is the record that matters for the Best Day Rule. That rule looks at your single best trading day as a share of your total profit at payout time, so knowing your per-day results in advance tells you whether you are on track. See the Best Day Rule article for the exact thresholds.

Your dashboard is the scorecard for the account rules. Log in at https://futures.upcomers.com/ to see it. Here is what it shows.

Account and phase: which product you are on (Thunderbolt Classic, Thunderbolt Legacy, or Vanguard) and which phase you are in. Classic and Legacy run an evaluation phase and then a funded phase. Vanguard is instant funding, so it starts you straight in a funded account with no evaluation.

Balance and equity: your current account value, mirrored from the platform. Treat DXtrade as the live source and the dashboard as the summary.

Login and credentials: your DXtrade login details (username and password) live in the dashboard, alongside the copy in your welcome email. You can reset your credentials from the dashboard, or ask our support team if you need a hand. DXtrade itself logs you in with username and password only.

On Thunderbolt Classic and Thunderbolt Legacy you pass the evaluation by hitting a 6% profit target while staying inside the rules. The dashboard tracks how much of that target you have made.

Example on a $50,000 account: the 6% target is $3,000 in profit. If your closed profit is $1,800, you are 60% of the way there. Vanguard has no profit target because it is instant funding, so on Vanguard this section is about payout eligibility instead of passing an evaluation.

The dashboard also tracks your minimum trading days. A trading day counts when you take at least one trade (on Vanguard, a day only counts if you close it at least 0.5% in profit). Here is what each product needs, with the dollar target on a $50,000 account:

This is the section that keeps you from breaching. It shows how much room you have left before each limit.

Trailing drawdown (Dynamic Risk Shield™): your lowest allowed equity, which trails your equity higher in real time as you profit. Once your account grows by the trailing amount, the Dynamic Risk Shield™ locks permanently at your initial (starting) balance and becomes static, so it no longer moves as you make more profit.

Daily drawdown: your loss limit for the day, which resets at 5:00 PM ET (the futures clock, not midnight UTC).

Max trade loss: the most any single open trade can be down. Crossing it is an automatic hard breach.

Here are the limits across the three futures products, with the dollar figure on a $50,000 account:

The dashboard shows these as your current levels and how far you are from them. Because they are all measured on equity, they can move while a trade is open. For the live figure in the moment, cross-check the Equity number in the DXtrade account bar. See the drawdown, Dynamic Risk Shield™, and max trade loss articles for the full calculations.

The dashboard is where you request a payout and track its status. To be eligible you need at least 1% profit since your last payout (on a $50,000 account that is $500), a Best Day at or under the Best Day Rule threshold, all positions closed, and a minimum of $100 (your 99% share).

After you request, the dashboard shows the payout moving through its stages (requested, in review, approved, paid) and your payout history. The amount you can take per payout is capped by your account size and rises with each approved payout. See the futures payout structure and payout conditions articles for the caps, the fees, and the full step by step.

Sometimes DXtrade and the dashboard show slightly different figures for a moment. That is normal and it is almost always timing.

Live equity or open P&L: trust DXtrade. It updates every tick.

Progress toward target, drawdown status, phase, and payouts: use the dashboard. It applies the account rules to your results.

If a difference does not resolve after a refresh, or a closed trade is missing from your history, start a chat with our support team from this help center and we will check it.

Where do I see my live profit and loss?

In DXtrade. Open P&L is in the account bar and on each row of the Positions panel. Closed P&L is in your trade history and reflected in your Balance.

Where do I see how close I am to passing?

In the Upcomers dashboard, under your progress toward the 6% profit target (Thunderbolt Classic and Legacy). Vanguard has no target because it is instant funding.

Where do I see how much drawdown room I have left?

The dashboard shows your drawdown status against each limit. For the live equity figure in the moment, read the Equity value in the DXtrade account bar, since drawdown is measured on equity.

Can I export my trade history?

Yes. DXtrade lets you export your order and trade history to CSV from the history tabs.

My dashboard balance does not match DXtrade. Which is correct?

DXtrade is the live source. The dashboard summarizes your account and can lag by a short interval. If they still disagree after a refresh, contact support.

Watch DXtrade while you trade: the account bar for Balance, Equity, and P&L, the Positions and Orders panels for what is live, and the history tabs for what you closed. Check the Upcomers dashboard for the scorecard: your progress toward the target, your drawdown status, your phase, and your payouts.
