It trails each new all-time-high balance, never moves back down, and STOPS permanently once it reaches your initial starting balance — that happens when profit equals the drawdown amount ($3,500 on a $100K), NOT when you hit the profit target.

Full rules

Our full notes on OneUp Trader’s rules. Verify on the firm’s site — these change frequently.

Rules overview

1-step partner-funded eval (OneUp is a recruitment company; the account comes from a funding partner). Profit target 6% of account.

Trailing drawdown calculated in REAL TIME during the session, including simulated commissions - it trails each new all-time-high balance, never retreats, and locks permanently once it reaches your starting balance (profit = the DD amount, e.g. $3,500 on a $100K - not the profit target).

NO daily loss limit on either evaluation or funded accounts. Consistency: 3 other best days summed >= 80% of the largest day (or 2 days if the 2nd is >= 80%) - EVALUATION ONLY. Max position size 3/6/12/15/25 contracts by size, across all open products.

All positions closed by 3:15 PM CT - no overnight or weekend holding (trading day 5:00 PM CT-3:15 PM CT). Billing recurs every 30 days until you submit for review; 10 trading days is a minimum, not a maximum.

A mandatory activation fee equal to one month of the plan's own fee is charged on funding approval ($65/$75/$150/$175/$325 on the Evaluation). Balance resets are PAID: $50 (25K/50K), $100 (larger).

Simulated commissions $2.50/side, $1/side micros ($2 RT), dropping to $1.20 RT on micros once funded. 100% retention of first $10K profits, then 90/10 above a withdrawal threshold of $1,500/$2,500/$3,500/$5,000/$5,500 by size, which must REMAIN in the account.

Free unlimited withdrawals Mon-Fri once the threshold is met, min $1,000, no maximum; crypto capped at 1 request/week and $3,000 and carries a 5% processor fee.

Funded traders must also follow Dynamic Scaling Targets (buying power set from Cash On Hand at session start; withdrawals shrink your size), keep weekly trade count >= 50% of their evaluation average, stay above the starting balance at every 15-day checkpoint through a 90-day probation, stay flat 1 min before/during/after listed releases (Forex Factory is the official source), and may hold max 3 funded accounts (only one Express).

10 trading days minimum on the Evaluation, 5 on the Pro Evaluation ($100/$115/$225/$265/$490 a month, added 2026-09-16), 3 on Express (re-entry only, within 24 hours of losing a funded account; $115/$135/$265/$310/$570 a month plus the same again as activation fee).

7-day free trial. 21 named platforms plus anything on Rithmic; NinjaTrader and R|Trader Pro free, other platform fees are the funded trader's own cost.

Strengths & watch-outs

What works in your favour, and the quirks, fees, hidden rules and operational catches we found in OneUp Trader’s rules and FAQ. Always verify with the firm before purchase.

Strengths

  • +High payout split (100% first $10K, 90% after)
  • +Strong Trustpilot rating (4.7/5)

Watch out for

  • !
    Trailing drawdown is calculated in REAL TIME during the session — not end-of-day — and includes simulated commissions and fees
    Read moreShow less
  • !
    The trailing DD stops for good once it reaches your STARTING balance, which happens at profit = the DD amount ($3,500 on a $100K), not at the profit target ($6,000) — it locks far earlier than most write-ups imply
    Read moreShow less
  • !
    A mandatory activation fee equal to one month's price ($65/$75/$150/$175/$325 on the Evaluation) is charged on funding approval — the advertised monthly price is only half the cost of getting funded
    Read moreShow less
  • !
    Billing recurs every 30 days until you submit for review or cancel; 10 trading days is a minimum, not a maximum, so a slow evaluation keeps paying
  • !
    If the activation charge fails you get 7 days and three reminders, then the account is rolled back to evaluation status
  • !
    Dynamic Scaling Targets (funded): buying power is fixed from Cash On Hand at the session start and does not follow floating P&L — so taking a withdrawal directly shrinks the size you may trade - and a fresh funded account starts well below the eval cap (100K: 3 lots up to $2,000 profit, the full 12 only from $5,001)
  • !
    90-day probation: net P&L must be above the initial starting balance at every 15-calendar-day checkpoint
  • !
    First $10K of funded profits = 100% retained by trader (then 90/10)

  • !
    Withdrawal profit threshold by size ($1,500/$2,500/$3,500/$5,000/$5,500) must REMAIN in the account — the firm's example: $7,500 profit on a $100K releases $4,000, not $7,500
  • !
    Crypto withdrawals carry a 5% payment-processor fee plus conversion costs, so 'free withdrawals' really means free bank wires
  • !
    Balance resets are NOT free: $50 on 25K/50K, $100 on 100K/150K/250K — and a reset does not reset your subscription date
  • !
    Hard daily flat rule: every position must be closed by 3:15 PM CT (trading day 5:00 PM CT–3:15 PM CT). No swing or weekend holding at all
  • !
    Max position size is 3/6/12/15/25 contracts by account size, counted across ALL open products at once; micros count 1:1 during the eval but can be converted to 10x per standard contract once funded
  • !
    Only a fixed list of CME/CBOT/NYMEX/COMEX futures and micros is permitted — no crypto or VIX products
  • !
    Simulated commissions of $2.50/side ($1/side micros, $2 round turn) plus exchange, routing and NFA fees count toward the profit target; micros drop to $1.20 round turn once funded
  • !
    Consistency applies to the EVALUATION ONLY, and can be satisfied in just two days if your second-best day is ≥80% of your best
  • !
    Express variant (3-day min) is re-entry only: it requires an FTA termination in the past 24 hours, must match your previous account size, and is capped at 2 per 30 days, and it costs more, not less: $115/$135/$265/$310/$570 a month (about 1.75x the Evaluation) plus the same again as an activation fee on funding
  • !
    Cancelling an Express subscription forfeits the Express offer entirely — you can only start a regular evaluation afterwards
  • !
    Funded stage adds a separate activity rule: weekly trade count must stay ≥ 50% of your evaluation average
  • !
    News rule: funded accounts must be flat 1 minute before, during and after listed releases (Forex Factory is the official source); unlisted events may be traded through
  • !
    Copy trading PROHIBITED across funded accounts under different names; ALLOWED across same-name accounts for risk management — but OneUp supports no copier vendor
  • !
    Sub-10-second trades, micro scalping, HFT, tick scalping and latency arbitrage prohibited
  • !
    Withdrawal requests are processed same day Mon–Fri, but bank wire posts in 1–3 business days and crypto can take up to 14 business days
  • !
    Min withdrawal $1,000 (higher than peers' $100-$500) — but there is no maximum
  • !
    Up to 3 evaluation and 3 funded accounts on one email, only one of them Express; one Rithmic ID per email and extra-email farming is prohibited
  • !
    No subscription holds, and an active evaluation cannot be resized — you must cancel and re-buy
  • !
    Funded traders pay their own platform fees (R|Trader Pro and NinjaTrader V8.1 excepted); exchange data stays free
  • !
    Payment by credit/debit card only, and the card must be registered in the trader's own name
  • !
    OFAC-sanctioned countries excluded; Russia and Ukraine allowed at own risk
  • !
    OneUp is a recruitment company, not the funder — the account comes from a funding partner after a questionnaire and contract, ~3 business days after approval
  • !
    7-day free trial on all accounts
  • !
    Two evaluation tracks since 2026-09-16: the Evaluation (10-day minimum, $65-$325/mo) and the Pro Evaluation (5-day minimum, $100-$490/mo) - same targets, drawdowns and contract caps, you pay roughly 1.5x for the shorter minimum

How to play OneUp Trader

Model-specific observations about their rules and mechanics. Educational only — not trading or investment advice.

25K eval is $65/month — but budget $130 minimum, because a mandatory $65 activation fee lands when you pass, and the subscription re-bills every 30 days until you submit for review.

Read moreShow less

The real edge here is the drawdown: it stops trailing for good once it reaches your starting balance, which on a $100K is only $3,500 of profit, well before the $6,000 target - and there is no daily loss limit on either phase.

Trade for it knowing the DD is live intraday, not end-of-day. Plan a pure day-trading style: flat by 3:15 PM CT every session, and each reset costs $50-$100.

Once funded, withdrawing shrinks your contract allowance via Dynamic Scaling, and you must stay above your starting balance at every 15-day checkpoint for the first 90 days.

Recommended pick
$25k: $65/mo + $65 activation fee on funding | 5-day Pro Evaluation $25k: $100/mo
