The Short Version

Create an account. Choose a challenge. Pay once. Start trading.

No interviews. No waiting lists. No complicated onboarding. Just you, a trading platform, and an opportunity to prove what you can do.


Step 1: Create Your Account

You'll need an email address, phone number and a password. That's it.

No documents required at this stage. No lengthy forms. You'll have dashboard access within seconds.


Step 2: Choose Your Path

We offer different programs because traders are different. Pick the one that matches how you trade.

Turbo Programs Built for traders who move fast. Higher profit targets, but faster progression to funded status. If you're confident in your edge and want to get funded quickly, this is your path.

Classic Programs The balanced approach. Standard targets with flexible timelines. No rush, no pressure. Prove your consistency at your own pace.

Instant Funding (Vanguard) Skip the evaluation entirely. Start trading a funded account immediately. Best for experienced traders who already know they're ready.

Account sizes range from $5,000 to $1,000,000. Once funded, you can scale up to $4,000,000 through our Scaling Plan.


Step 3: Complete Payment

One payment. One time. No subscriptions. No hidden fees.

Payment confirmation is instant for most methods.


Step 4: Start Trading

Once payment is confirmed, your trading credentials are generated automatically. You'll find them in your dashboard.

Log into your platform. Place your first trade. Your evaluation has begun.

Before You Trade: Read This

The traders who succeed aren't always the most skilled. They're the ones who understand the rules before they start.

Understand your targets. Know exactly what profit percentage you need to hit and how many trading days are required.

Know your limits. Daily drawdown, maximum drawdown, single trade risk. These numbers matter.

Learn what's prohibited. Certain strategies will get your account reset or terminated. Don't find out the hard way.

We've built Upcomers University specifically to help you prepare. It includes educational content, rule explanations, and tests to make sure you're ready.


Common Questions

How long until I can trade?

Most traders are placing their first trade within 5 minutes of signup.

What if I'm not sure which program to choose?

Start with a Classic program at a comfortable account size. You can always purchase additional challenges later.

Can I trade on my phone?

Yes. All our platforms support mobile trading.

Is my country supported?

We accept traders from 165+ countries. If you can complete the signup, you're eligible.


One More Thing

This evaluation exists for a reason. It's not a formality. It's designed to identify traders who have genuine skill and discipline.

Past performance elsewhere doesn't guarantee anything here. Different rules, different environment, different results.

Take it seriously. Read the documentation. Understand the objectives. Then trade with confidence.

Your funded trading career is one signup away.
