Do the general Upcomers rules apply to futures? (accounts, KYC, payments, security)

The short answer

Most of how Upcomers works is identical whether you trade our CFD accounts or our futures accounts. Verification (KYC), payments and refunds, taxes, account security, the legal agreement, and the core conduct rules are firm-wide and apply to your futures account exactly as written.

This page collects those shared articles in one place so you do not have to hunt for them. Anything that works differently on futures (drawdown, the DXtrade platform, instruments, payouts) has its own dedicated futures article.


Getting funded & KYC verification

KYC verification is one-time and firm-wide. Complete it once and it carries across every account you hold, CFD or futures.


Buying, payments, refunds & fees

Pricing, accepted payment methods, refunds, and fees are the same across the firm.


Taxes & your legal relationship

Your tax obligations and your legal relationship with Upcomers do not change on futures.


Account security & policies

How you secure and use your account applies to every Upcomers account, including your futures account.


Rules & what happens if you break one

Our conduct rules and how we enforce them are firm-wide.
