Once you successfully complete all required phases of your evaluation, your account does not immediately become funded. There are several final steps that must be completed, and they always follow in this exact order before your funded account is activated.
1. Automated validation
Immediately after completing the challenge, our system will automatically verify that:
All profit targets were achieved
Minimum trading days were met
No rule violations occurred (daily drawdown, max loss, strategy limitations, etc.)
All specific conditions for your program were respected
If everything is confirmed, your account moves to the manual risk review.
2. KYC Verification (if not already completed)
Funded accounts and payouts can only be issued to verified individuals.
If you have not yet completed KYC, you will be prompted through Veriff to complete identity verification.
You will need a valid ID (passport, ID card, or driver’s license) and a clear facial scan.
Typical duration: 2–4 minutes (fully automated)
If you have already passed KYC in the past (for example through another program or previous funded account), you will not be asked again.
3. Signing the Trader Agreement (if not already signed)
Once your trading activity has been approved and KYC is completed, a Trader Agreement will appear in your Upcomers administration panel.
It can be reviewed and signed online in a single click.
This agreement is signed only once — just like KYC — and will not be required again for future funded accounts.
Typical duration: Instant (one-click online)
4. Strategy Compliance Review (Manual Risk Check)
This step applies even if KYC has already been completed.
Our risk team manually reviews your trading history to confirm that:
You did not use any banned or restricted strategies
You did not violate any condition specific to the challenge program you purchased
Your trading behavior was consistent with the rules (no abuse, no copying, no arbitrage)
Typical duration: 24–48 hours (business days)
5. Activation of the Funded Account
Step | Typical Duration |
Completion of your Challenge | Depends on the trader |
KYC Verification | 2–4 minutes |
Signing the Trader Agreement | Instant – one click |
Strategy Compliance Review | 24–48 hours (business days) |
After all four steps are completed, your funded account is activated and appears in your dashboard.
Important to know
You cannot enter the funded phase or request a payout without completing KYC.
Funded accounts are activated only after the risk team approves your challenge completion.
KYC and Trader Agreement are completed only once — they do not repeat for future funded accounts.
If any step is already completed before passing the challenge, it will not be repeated.
