How do I use the PICKR code?
Copy it from the top of this page, then click through to Upcomers and paste it into the promo or discount field on the checkout page before paying. Always check that the total actually changes before you complete the purchase.
What is the cheapest Upcomers challenge?
The $2,000 account starts at $15.90. A $10,000 account is $47.90 and the popular $100,000 account is $239.90. Treat a first attempt as tuition and size it so a failure does not hurt.
What is the difference between Oracle, Vanguard and Ember?
All three pay a 90% split on demand with no time limit. Oracle is the cheapest at 4% daily and 5% overall drawdown. Vanguard keeps the 4% daily limit but widens overall drawdown to 7% and needs 6 minimum trading days. Ember removes the daily loss limit entirely, in exchange for a tighter 4% overall drawdown.
Does Upcomers have a daily drawdown rule?
Oracle and Vanguard both apply a 4% daily drawdown. Ember has no daily drawdown at all, so one bad session cannot end the account as long as you stay inside the 4% overall limit.
Is there a time limit on the evaluation?
No. Every plan runs with an unlimited time limit. You do still need to meet the minimum trading days, 5 for Oracle and Ember, 6 for Vanguard.
How much does Upcomers pay out, and how often?
Payouts run on demand rather than on a fixed cycle, at a 90% profit split that scales toward 100% at the top tier. Over $10.5M in verified payouts have been published, with individual payout certificates behind them.
Can I use bots, EAs or AI agents?
Yes. Automated strategies are permitted on evaluations, including expert advisors, custom Python scripts and AI trading agents. Worth confirming against the current terms before you deploy anything, since automation clauses are the rules prop firms revise most often.
What markets can I trade?
Over 1,300 instruments spanning forex, crypto, indices, commodities and single stocks, plus futures contracts that track real exchange liquidity rather than a market maker's book. There is also a 24/7 markets product that stays open through weekends.
What happens if I fail the evaluation?
The challenge ends and the fee is not refunded, which is why sizing a first attempt sensibly matters more than picking the biggest account. Because there is no time limit, failures come from breaching drawdown rather than running out of clock. Starting at $15.90 lets you learn the ruleset cheaply before scaling up.
