💰 Over $2,000,000 paid out to Upscale traders

Dear Upscalers, just 3 months ago we were writing about our first $1M in payouts. Today, we’re writing about the second — and that is all thanks to you!

Behind this number are your attempts, wins, and stories that you share with us every day. And we’re proud to showcase your achievements on our website, in the Hall of Fame, and in YouTube interviews.

🚀 $2,000,000 in payouts is no accident. Upscale remains one of the most trader-friendly prop firms on the market, with no sudden bans or vague wording. We don’t build our product around restrictions. We build it around traders who know how to earn.

📈 Over these 3 months, we launched our first fast tournaments, introduced the AI Assistant, improved account analytics, and fully updated our website — where every payout is verified by a transaction.

🫶 Today, Upscale is a place where traders with any starting capital can trade under some of the best conditions. You choose us, and we choose you.

Thank you for being with us!
The Upscale Team

📹 He’s 18 – and he’s already received a $1,240 prop trading payout

Meet Nikita. He’s just finished school, and his first payout from Upscale was six times bigger than the most he’d ever had in his wallet before.

“The most I’d ever had was $200 – and I lost that following other people’s signals.”

😞 For three years, Nikita lost money blindly copying Telegram signals, hoping someone else understood the market better.

Everything changed when he stopped chasing ready-made entries and started taking responsibility for his own decisions.

💪 In just 22 days, he passed the Upscale challenge and withdrew $1,240 in profit.

“You don’t need a huge amount of capital – that’s what prop trading is for. The main thing is not to be afraid.”

In the interview, Nikita breaks down the mistakes that cost him years – so you don’t have to repeat them yourself 👇

❓ Been looking into prop trading but still don’t know where to start?

Maybe it’s not trading itself that’s stopping you, but the risk of losing your own money and all the confusing terms: challenges, funded accounts, drawdowns…

🔠 We get it, so we made this video for you.

Inside, you’ll find a 5-minute breakdown of how to get access to a large trading account, why you need to pass a challenge, and what the path to your first payout looks like.

Watch it if you’ve wanted to try prop trading for a while but first want to understand what you’re getting into 👇

P.S. You’ll also find a playlist with breakdowns of other challenges below the video – we’ll keep updating it with new episodes.

🏆 5,629 traders have already joined the Demo Tournament

77 of them have already reached the funded stage and received a free $1K account.

⚡️ What’s at stake?

A winner’s trophy, the chance to turn your demo profits into 5,000 USDT, and a share of $500K in Upscale accounts.

🔠 Ready to join them?

Just open a demo account and start trading – there are still 64 days left.

📹 Blew 16 accounts – then made it back to payouts

Almost a year ago, Maxim withdrew $3,000 and set himself a new goal – to work his way up to a $100K account.

📉 But then came a brutal losing streak: he lost more than 10 accounts in a row. Mistakes piled up, emotions took over, and his trading spiraled into a prolonged tilt.
"It felt like a fight for survival. Over eight months, I burned through around 15 accounts. Some were gone in just three days."

And that could have been the end of the story...

💪 But Maxim refused to give up. He rebuilt his strategy, tightened his risk management, and gradually found his way back to consistent trading.

💵 The result – a new $10K account and a fresh run of payouts: $842, $697, $366, and $411.

In the new interview, Maxim explains how he broke out of a long trading tilt, changed his approach to risk, and figured out what actually works for him.

🫡 You don’t need a $100K account to get your first payout

When you see traders withdrawing $20,000+, it’s easy to assume there’s no point in prop trading unless you have a massive account.

But over the past week, Upscale traders received 30 payouts totaling $49,416 – and most of them were much more achievable than they might seem:
• 22 payouts came from accounts ranging from $1K to $10K
• 25 payouts were under $1,000
• 17 out of 30 were repeat payouts


BTC and ETH were the most commonly traded assets on smaller accounts. Traders also reached payouts trading SOL, gold, and Nasdaq.

💡 In other words, you don’t need to start with the biggest account or wait for the perfect trade to get your first real result.
• Start with a $5K or $10K account.
• Complete the challenge at your own pace.
• Trade the markets you already know.
• Withdraw your first few hundred dollars.


🥇 Every payout becomes part of Upscale’s story. Traders share their results, earn a place in our Payout hall and their transactions remain available on our website.

Another 30 payouts were added this week. The next story could start with your account.

🏆 The fourth Upscale Fast Tournament is over!

Over the weekend, around 400 traders received $10K tournament accounts and had two days to fight for a place at the top.

The competition was incredibly close: just $5.22 separated third and fourth place.

🥇 goood +$5,700.85
🥈 kwf1 +$4,356.9
🥉 TTTTTTT +$4,082.42
4. Anjei_Team +$4,077.2
5. Jason +$3,252.7

Winners, send your account ID (Profile → Copy) and preferred account type — crypto or RWA — to storm_support_bot in Telegram to claim your prizes.

What was up for grabs?

🔥 3,000 USDT
🔥 $400K+ in prop accounts
🔥 50 prize-winning spots
🔥 a winner’s trophy

BTC/USDT was traditionally the most popular pair. But KAITO/USDT generated the highest profit: 13 traders made more than +$18K combined on it.

Access was granted to participants in our recent promotion: purchasing a $10K+ account automatically secured a place in the private tournament.

Missed out? The free Upscale Demo Tournament runs until the end of September. Trade, climb the leaderboard, and compete for real prizes without spending a cent! 👇

📹 7 payouts from ONE account (and while we were preparing this post, the eighth one came in)

"Let’s catch up again in 2–3 months, when I already have 14 payouts!" 😎

When Ernest joined us for his first interview, he had received just two payouts. Only two and a half months later, he is back – and now that number has grown to eight.

Ernest once left his business behind and went all in on trading. Today, his results clearly show that a systematic long-term approach beats random account flips every time.

The numbers speak for themselves:

🔥 85% profitable days
🔥 64% winning trades
🔥 +36% account growth

Right now, Ernest has already passed the second phase of a $200,000 challenge and is preparing to scale even further.

“Why risk millions of your own money? If you have a working strategy and discipline, prop trading gives you leverage and the opportunity to scale without using significant personal capital.”

📺 What helps Ernest maintain these results?

In the new interview, he shares his trading journal, explains how he works with stop-losses, and talks about how to navigate difficult market periods without abandoning your strategy.

💰 One trader pulled $96,000 across 6 payouts

We've rounded up the latest funded trader wins from Upscale – from first payouts to a $16K streak.

1️⃣ 477 from a Basic account

Entry – $107. First payout alone – 4.5x the investment.

2️⃣ $240 from an RWA account

Entry – $79. 3x even on a small payout.

3️⃣ $3,990 – 4th payout in a row from one account

Entry – $197. Total withdrawn so far: $3,925 – 19.9x the initial investment. One challenge, paying out again and again.

🏆 Now the main event – two $16,000 payouts

The trader took two Basic $200K accounts under the 2+1 promo and got two bonus $100K accounts on top.

Each one has already delivered 3 payouts in a row:

🔥 6 payouts of $16,000
🚀 $96,000 in profit withdrawn
💰 $22,053 – total capital invested

One good payout is luck. Three in a row from every account is a system.

💡 That's how prop trading works: pass the challenge once → get a funded account → withdraw profit again and again.

Upscale already has 11,000+ funded traders. And more join every day.

📹 He was gifted a prop account — then cashed out from it multiple times!

Meet Vladimir. After shutting down his business during COVID, he moved into crypto and has now been trading for nearly four years.

His story is anything but typical: he received a free Upscale account for sharing market analysis in a community chat — and went on to withdraw over $450, just in time for his wife’s birthday.

🧠 Vladimir has also traded with some of the biggest prop firms, including FTMO, Funding Pips, Audacity Capital, and The5ers.

But eventually, he left them behind:

“Traditional prop firms became too difficult to deal with. Changing countries caused KYC issues, established firms started tightening their rules, reducing payouts, and closing accounts. What won me over with Upscale was the simplicity: fewer rules, no KYC, and the ability to trade directly in Telegram.”

😎 The interview also features an incredibly detailed 14-minute technical breakdown. Vladimir explains the market mechanics so thoroughly that Igor, our host, barely had to ask a question.

🌀 Fibonacci Grid: A Beginner’s Guide

Price rarely moves straight up or down. After a strong move, it often pulls back – and that’s when traders look for levels where the trend could continue.

The Fibonacci grid helps spot these zones on the chart.

In our new guide, we explain how to draw the grid, what the key levels mean, and why you shouldn’t enter a trade just because price touches a line.

👉 Read the guide in our Telegram: @upscale_trade_en

😏 If you had your own prop firm, what would you check first?

We looked at how top traders who actually make it to payouts trade.

At first glance, they had nothing in common: some use Fibonacci, some trade levels, and some don’t use indicators at all.

But when we looked deeper, we found a pattern that shows up again and again.

🚀 In our new article: 5 of the most common strategies among successful traders — and the key thing that connects those who make it to payouts.
