Since launching in August 2024, Upcomers has made a remarkably fast rise in the prop firm trading world. Headquartered in Dubai Silicon Oasis, UAE, and led by CEO Jakub Zeliska, Upcomers has built a reputation around one powerful promise: keep up to 99% of everything you earn. With 15+ distinct account models, on-demand payouts, no restrictions on news trading, and a 4.1/5 Trustpilot rating from nearly 500 reviews, Upcomers has quickly established itself as one of the most flexible and trader-forward prop firms available today. When you earn your Upcomers certificate, you've proven you can operate within one of the most dynamic funded trading environments in the industry, and that deserves to be framed.

An Account for Every Trading Style
One of Upcomers' most distinctive features is the sheer breadth of its challenge lineup. Whether you prefer a fast, low-barrier evaluation or a structured multi-phase path, there's an Upcomers model built for you. Key options include:
- ASH Classic (Half-Step): The lowest barrier to funding. Just a 2% profit target with no time limit. Entry from under $22 with the discount code TRUSTED. Ideal for traders who want a fast, achievable path to their certificate.
- Thunderbolt (1-Step): Single-phase evaluation with a 6% profit target and no time limit on the Classic version. A clean, direct route to a funded account.
- Phoenix (2-Step): A structured two-phase path: 3% target in Phase 1, 3% in Phase 2. The Legacy version uses a static drawdown, fixed from day one regardless of how much profit you make, which many traders prefer for predictability.
- Astral (3-Step) and beyond: For traders who prefer a gradual, multi-phase progression, Upcomers also offers 3-step, 4-step, and 5-step challenges, each with lower per-phase targets and static drawdown options.
- Instant Funding (Vanguard & Oracle): Skip the evaluation entirely and begin trading a funded account immediately. Perfect for experienced traders who want to get straight to earning.
- Breakout Models (Control & Rebirth): For traders shooting for fixed rewards of up to $100,000 over a structured performance schedule.
Whichever path you take, the achievement is the same: you've navigated a real-money-simulated environment, managed your drawdown, hit your targets, and proved you belong in a funded account. That Upcomers funded certificate is the official record of that journey, and it belongs on your wall, not in a downloads folder.
99% Profit Split, The Highest in the Industry
What sets Upcomers apart most immediately is the profit split. At up to 99%, it's the highest available from any major prop firm right now, and unlike many rivals who tier you up over time, Upcomers offers this from your very first payout. On a $100,000 funded account, that means keeping $990 from every $1,000 you earn. Combined with on-demand payouts (no fixed monthly payout cycles, request whenever you're ready), Upcomers gives traders both the reward and the flexibility that most firms reserve for their top-tier performers.
"Really appreciate these guys. Their pricing is super affordable, and their support is great
They give you a very detailed preview once you apply for a payout which has honestly taught me a few good lessons.
I really look forward to seeing them grow as a prop firm and I hope to grow as a more profitable trader with them" - Verified trader, Trustpilot.
Trading Freedom: News, Weekends, Overnight
While many prop firms restrict trading around major economic events, Upcomers takes the opposite approach. News trading is fully permitted, no blackout windows, no restrictions around high-impact releases like NFP or CPI. Traders can also hold positions over weekends and overnight without penalty, giving experienced traders the freedom to execute their strategies without artificial constraints. This level of freedom is rare, and for traders who rely on fundamental catalysts, it's a significant differentiator when choosing where to earn their Upcomers achievement.
Scaling to $4 Million
Upcomers' funded accounts aren't static. Consistent traders can scale their allocation up to $4,000,000 over time, with the standard max account size sitting at $1,500,000. The 15% challenge profit bonus, an additional share of profits made during the challenge phase, paid after reaching scaling milestones, is another feature unique to Upcomers that puts real money back in traders' pockets for strong challenge performance. It's a firm that rewards traders who grow with it.
Your Achievements Deserves to Be Displayed
Passing any Upcomers challenge, whether it's the ASH half-step or the full 5-phase Eon, requires consistent risk management, discipline, and the ability to perform under evaluation pressure. Your Upcomers certificate is the proof of that. At Plaque of Legacy, we take that certificate and frame it in premium 25mm high-gloss acrylic, a crystal-clear, trophy-grade display that turns a digital file into something physical, permanent, and worth showing off. Whether it goes on your trading desk, your home office wall, or arrives as a gift for a funded trader you know, an acrylic-framed certificate is the upgrade your achievement deserves.
