News trading
Allowed. Every format and stage: 'scalping, swing trading, news trading, holding positions' are allowed (FAQ). The platform itself, not a rule the trader can breach, switches US stocks to close-only from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after US macroeconomic releases (closing allowed, positions not closed) and force-closes stock positions 1 hour either side of dividends and splits; crypto, forex, indices and commodities are not restricted around news. Index positions opened or increased in the last two hours before the Friday close are force-closed. source

Program notes. Two stages on one account: 5% then 8% of realised profit, with at least 3 then 5 profit days. Daily loss 5% OF the day's starting balance at 00:00 UTC, open PnL included (a $10,000 day start puts the floor at $9,500). 10% static max loss from the starting balance. Moving to Stage 2 closes every position and restarts the balance at the account size. Funded: the same 5% daily and 10% max, 5 profit days per payout. No consistency rule unless the API Trading option was added. The $200,000 Basic is a separate row (8% max loss in Stage 2 and funded). Checkout options the catalog does not carry: Daily Drawdown Protection (+15% of the base price) turns the first daily-limit hit into a stop until 00:00 UTC, once per challenge, then the daily limit fails the account again; API Trading (free, $10K and up) adds the 30% best-day rule at every stage (a condition to pass each stage and to be paid) and ignores a profitable close made within 60 seconds of opening or adding. Basic and Accelerated funded accounts that fail may be offered a paid restoration within 48 hours. Trades run on Upscale's own web and Telegram terminal (TradingView charts): crypto, forex, metals, energy, indices and 24/7 stocks as leveraged positions; no MetaTrader, no broker auto-sync. The asset category (Crypto, RWA or ALL) is picked at purchase and changes the price and the instruments, not the limits. Every limit is checked on equity: the firm's "balance" includes unrealised PnL, and touching a limit closes the account at once with all profit forfeited. The trading day runs 00:00 to 00:00 UTC. Targets count realised PnL only. A profit day is a day whose balance change, open PnL included, is at least 0.5% of the starting balance. No time limit; 90 days without a trade freezes the account (support can unfreeze it). News trading allowed; the platform puts US stocks on close-only from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after US macro releases and force-closes stock positions around dividends and splits. Index positions opened or increased in the last two hours before the Friday close are closed at the close. Hedging is fine inside one account, never across accounts; copying another trader is banned. Positions run on margin and can be liquidated. Funded: 80% split (90% bought at checkout), USDT payouts on TON, Base or BSC; the first request 14 calendar days after funding, then 14 days after each payout, with 5 profit days in the period and one request per period, capped per period at 50% (5K), 40% (10K, 25K), 25% (50K), 20% (100K) or 15% (200K) of the starting balance. Each payout starts a new iteration: the balance after the payout becomes the starting balance the max loss is measured from. Consistry keeps the original starting balance, so after a payout set the max-loss floor by hand. The site and FAQ say no KYC and no geographic restrictions; the terms (15 May 2026) exclude US residents and require passport and selfie KYC before a withdrawal.

Program notes. Instant account (funded from day one), no target, no daily limit. 6% TRAILING max loss: 6% OF the highest equity ever reached, open PnL included, so the room grows with the peak, and it never stops trailing (the firm's example: $10,000 grows to $12,000, floor $11,280). After a payout the firm lowers the peak to the balance left (a $1,000 payout from $12,000 gives a $10,340 floor); Consistry keeps the old peak, so reset the floor by hand after a payout. Funded: the 30% rule, the best day of the payout period must stay under 30% of the period's total profit (30% or more blocks the payout; it is not a breach), plus 5 profit days and 14 calendar days per payout. Turbo accounts are capped at $100,000 combined per trader (separate from the $400,000 Basic and Accelerated cap). Leverage is lower than on Basic and Accelerated (crypto x2, forex x30, gold and silver x5, US indices x5) and fees are higher (crypto 0.06% per side). No Daily Drawdown Protection and no restoration on Turbo.
