Upcomers 

terrible. i tested them and contacted them about it. they have a system which will give you an impression that everything is legite, but when you find yourself profitting big, you find your account failed and they tell you "water level" and this is a lame excuse to take people's money, water level goes up and there should be still 4 or 8 % loss limit and i tested this with multiple other firms, but those people they play in the mud with that water level and they mix it with equity level. save your money people. btw i have multiple accounts with them to test every scenario and their team sent me a "gift" account not to expose their little game...

I need to be honest about my extremely frustrating experience with Upcomers.

My first payout from a 500K funded account has been completely frozen since March 3rd 2026— that's already more than 3 months. The company claimed it was due to "A-book migration," and during this entire period, my funded account was frozen from trading while the payout remained stuck.

The team first promised everything would be completed within two months — missed.
They then gave bi-weekly updates promising progress — also not met.

Most recently, they said they would send a detailed update email by the end of last week — again, nothing. My follow-up messages have been heavily delayed or completely ignored. Staff even claimed to be "sick" as an excuse for not responding.

Logically speaking, they could have paid existing traders first before completing the full A-book migration, instead of freezing both accounts and payouts. This approach would have maintained trust during the technical transition.

The frequent 90% discount promotions running at the same time as these major delays make me seriously wonder if there is a cash flow problem behind the scenes.

After digging deeper, I discovered this same delaying tactic is being used on many other traders as well.
I’ve been patient and trusted the process, but trust has completely run out when promises keep shifting and communication goes silent. I really hope Upcomers is not turning into another prop firm that strings traders along with payout issues. I’ve seen this pattern too many times before.

If you're experiencing similar frozen payouts, account freezes, or delays, please reach out to me — I’m happy to share screenshots and full proof.

I rate them 1 star and strongly advise traders to be extremely cautious until they demonstrate reliable payouts and basic transparency.

My experience with Upcomers has been extremely disappointing and has left me with serious concerns about the fairness and transparency of their payout process.

I purchased an account, followed the trading requirements, completed the verification process, and submitted a payout request in good faith. Initially, I was informed that my payout was being processed and that delays were due to internal workload. After waiting and repeatedly requesting updates, I was then informed that a compliance review had concluded that they could not verify that I was the sole trader on the account.

What concerns me most is the timing. These issues were only raised after I became eligible for a payout. Prior to that, there had been no indication that my account activity was under question.

The explanations provided to justify withholding the payout were, in my opinion, subjective and difficult to independently verify. For example, conclusions were drawn from my ability to explain trading concepts during a call, the terminology I used, and alleged inconsistencies regarding my trading schedule. I do not believe that a trader's performance during an interview-style call should automatically outweigh the actual trading record on the account.

I was also informed that another person was allegedly involved during the verification process. I dispute the conclusions that were drawn and have requested further clarification and supporting evidence.

My review reflects my personal experience only. Other traders may have had different experiences. However, based on my own experience, I would strongly encourage anyone considering purchasing an account to carefully review the payout rules, verification requirements, and dispute procedures before committing funds.

For me, the overall experience has resulted in a significant loss of confidence in the company's payout review process and the way successful traders are assessed once they become eligible for withdrawals.

I traded a funded account with Upcomers (24H SUPERNOVA) and achieved a net profit of $4,711.94 within the allowed rules and trading conditions.

When I submitted my payout request after achieving objectives, it was denied based on subjective reasoning such as: "position stacking," "one-sided bets," "impulsive trading,"

All traders were placed manually, within the permitted 24H session, objectives were met within 4 hours left of the session, and no rule violations (consistency, profit target, and trading) fell short.

What concerns me is not just the misaligned payout friction itself, but the lack of clear, objective criteria used to justify it. The same trading behavior that generates profit under their system is later reinterpreted negatively at the payout stage.

Additionally, after the denial, I was encouraged to purchase new accounts and offered discounted re-entry options. This creates a conflicting message regarding how payouts are evaluated versus how new business from Head of Risk is promoted.

After reviewing other trader experiences, I have noticed similar patterns where payouts are denied at the first withdrawal stage using comparable reasoning.

I am simply looking for: transparency, consistent rule enforcement in execution of payout distributions and objective evaluation standards beyond just the minimumm consistency and profit target/max loss objectives.

At this point, the payout process is questionable in this firm.

Avoid this company at all costs.
They're outrightly scamming their traders.
They have too many unrealistic rules designed to cheat traders out of their profits.
They use those rules to scam profitable traders out of their payouts.
They currently have rating of 66% which is one of the lowest among prop firms.
That about sums up who they are, scammers.
Three week update.
I made this review on June 11th, three weeks ago.
in three weeks their ratings have further slipped down to 60%.
can you believe this??
this is what happens when you scam people!
Thank you trust pilot for not hiding the negative reviews, however you need to go further to protect innocent unaware victims of this fake prop firm, issue a warning to potential traders.

Total fraud..made $20000 on 600k account. Didn't get a single dime. They keep moving the goal post citing unheard of reasons. Get your refund and blacklist this scammers!!!

I wrote a review because I experienced nothing but hell during my time on this platform. HIDDEN RULES ON EVERY SINGLE ACCOUNT PURCHASE. You have to write them to get the hidden rules. Once you pass those hidden rules, guess what? No payout. This company is a scam and a fraud. Just take your time and go throught these reviews. Notice how 40 plus reviews are within the last 32 hours. EVERYBODY IS NOT LYING on this company. They can respond back until they are blue in the face, at the end of the day if it walks like a duck and quack like a duck? ITS A DUCK. its A SCAM! STAY AWAY!!!!! check other websites too. EVERYONE IS NOT LYING ON THIS COMPANY. IT IS A SCAM! BEWARE!!!!!!

UPDATE - CASE RESOLVED AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION:

Following my review, Upcomers' Brand Reputation team conducted a further investigation into my case.

The company ultimately determined that the breach on my account was incorrect. According to the written findings provided to me, there were no open positions at the reported breach time and the account closure resulted from a synchronization issue between their internal platform and the trading platform.

Upcomers acknowledged the error in writing, provided a detailed explanation of the findings, and replaced the incorrectly closed account with a fresh account.

While I remain disappointed by the conflicting explanations I received during the original support process and the time it took to resolve the issue, I believe it is fair to acknowledge that the company ultimately reviewed the case thoroughly, admitted the mistake, and provided a satisfactory resolution.

[Original Review Below]

I had a $100,000 Astral challenge account with Upcomers and recently had my account terminated for an alleged breach of the Absolute Drawdown rule.

My concern is not simply that the account was breached. My concern is how the case was handled and the lack of account-specific evidence provided despite multiple requests.

The account was terminated with an official breach timestamp of June 2, 2026 at 11:48:28 UTC, with recorded equity of $89,582.21 against the $90,000 drawdown limit.

When I contacted support, I received multiple explanations for the same account termination.

Initially, I was told that the breach occurred because an open position was carrying approximately $3,026 in floating loss at 11:48:28 UTC. I asked several times for the details of that position, including the symbol, direction, lot size, open time, and ticket number. Those details were never provided.

After further escalation, I received a completely different explanation from another representative. I was then told that there was no separate open position responsible for the breach. Instead, I was informed that my XAUUSD trade had breached the account during rollover due to spread widening and that earlier explanations had been based on incomplete information.

The trade in question had a stop-loss in place, and the stop-loss was triggered almost immediately after the new daily candle opened. I was actively monitoring the position at the time.

Throughout the correspondence, I repeatedly requested the account-specific data supporting the breach determination, including:

- Exact bid and ask prices
- Recorded spread values
- Equity calculation
- Server-side logs
- Evidence showing how the account equity allegedly fell below the threshold

Despite several email exchanges and escalation to their technical team, none of this data was provided. Instead, I was simply told that the technical team's findings were final and that the breach had been recorded correctly.

To be fair, Upcomers eventually acknowledged that some of the earlier explanations provided by support were incorrect. However, I still did not receive the underlying account-specific evidence needed to independently verify the final conclusion.

My issue is not the existence of risk rules. Every trader accepts those when purchasing a challenge. My issue is that when a dispute arose, I was given multiple conflicting explanations and ultimately asked to accept the final decision without being provided the supporting data used to reach it.

I currently have two other active accounts with Upcomers, but after this experience I no longer feel comfortable trading with them. I have lost confidence in the transparency of their dispute resolution process and therefore do not intend to continue trading with Upcomers.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Upcomers to other traders.

Completely avoid this company. Numerous denied payouts, the entire industry is a joke but this firm is the cherry on top. If you seen 90% off deals all year round on the website then you know something fishy is going on. I would not wish the amount of stress I have endured in the past 2 weeks on anyone.

Scam ⛔
Just read the all reviews.

Do NOT trust Upcomers! They are a complete scam and highly unprofessional.
​I successfully passed their challenge and reached a net profit of over $4,454 on my account (Account 314926). Instead of paying me out, they target minor, normal trades to accuse me of "prohibited strategies" just to deny my withdrawal and confiscate ALL my profits.
​To make it worse, they didn't even ban the account because they know they are wrong. Instead, they told me they will keep it active but will cut all my future payouts by 50%! This is a classic scam tactic to trap traders, steal their hard-earned money, and force them to trade for half the price.
​I will never use this platform again. They are untrustworthy and dishonest. I have already contacted my bank to initiate a full chargeback for this fraud, and I am warning every single trader out there: STAY AWAY FROM UPCOMERS! They will find any excuse not to pay you. After 6 days trade win you can withdraw only 1000$ on your profit stupid prop firm

I bought several invoices during the promotion. I also have 2 payouts waiting for approval — one for over 10 days, the other for 4 days. Normally, they should be processed within 24-48 hours. Until they pay me, I won’t buy any more challenge from them and I won’t recommend them to others either.

01.06.2026 Update:
I wrote to customer service again at Ann's suggestion. Allegedly, the request was forwarded to a higher level and they promise to apply. In the past few days, I have received about ten similar responses, but no substantial progress has ever been made.
Also, I'll update this post after each rip.

04.06.2026 Update:
Meanwhile, one of my payments has been processed. They wrote that the other one is also fine and I'll receive that too — the system is just overloaded at the moment. Once they pay that one as well, I'll let you know here too.

19.06.2026 Update:
They promised that I would receive a contract two weeks ago because I was going to become an A-book trader. I still haven’t received it. Last time, they didn’t even give me a deadline anymore — they just told me to wait.
They manually locked my 3 live accounts and still haven’t processed my last withdrawal (it’s been exactly one month today since I requested it), even though they claimed everything was fine with my trading. For the past few days they haven’t been responding at all, even though I’ve written to two different people...
I’m increasingly starting to think that because the total amount of withdrawals I requested is three times the value of the account I bought from them, they’ve just put me on the back burner / sidelined me...

23.07.2026 Update:
They haven't responded to my messages for weeks, and my 3 live accounts have been suspended. I still haven't received the $2,000. All this with the explanation that I traded very well and will become an A-Book trader with them. About 2 months have passed since then. At the beginning, the communication was still good, but for a long time now they haven't replied at all — even though I didn't argue, I only asked if there was any update or development. You're only important to them as long as your deposits are higher than your withdrawals.

Just bought my vanguard account and so far its a very good experience and support is super

⚠️ ❗️Warnung vor Upcomers Prop Firm❗️ ⚠️

Mei persönliche Erfahrung mit Upcomers ist leider entäuschend.

Nach einem profitablen Trading-Zeitraum wurde mein Auszahlungsantrag massiv gekürzt. Als Begründung wurde mir unter anderem „Position Stacking“ vorgeworfen. In meinem Fall handelte es sich dabei jedoch lediglich darum, innerhalb eines laufenden Trades eine zweite Position zu eröffnen – etwas, das für viele Trader ein normaler Bestandteil des Risiko- und Positionsmanagements ist.

Besonders fragwürdig finde ich, dass dieselbe Handelsweise auf früheren Konten offenbar kein Problem darstellte und Auszahlungen problemlos erfolgt sind. Erst nachdem Gewinne erzielt wurden, wurde die Strategie plötzlich als Regelverstoß eingestuft.

Das Ergebnis:
75 % meiner beantragten Auszahlung wurden einbehalten.

Künftige Auszahlungen auf diesem Konto sollen dauerhaft um 50 % reduziert werden.

Trotz profitabler Handelsleistung werden große Teile der erwirtschafteten Gewinne nicht ausgezahlt.

Jeder Trader sollte die Regeln und insbesondere die Definitionen von „Position Stacking“ und anderen angeblich verbotenen Strategien sehr genau prüfen, bevor er Zeit, Geld und Energie investiert.

Das interessante dabei ist, die selbe Strategie habe ich bei meinem 200k acc auch gehandelt da war es kein Problem. Ihr seht, die Regeln lassen viel Interpretationsspielraum über.

Ich kann nur empfehln, sich vor dem Kauf eines ACC ausführlich über die Erfahrungen anderer Trader zu informieren und die Risiken einer möglichen Auszahlungsverweigerung oder Kürzung zu berücksichtigen.

Für mich persönlich war diese Erfahrung ein klarer Grund, Upcomers künftig nicht mehr weiterzuempfehlen.

Dieses Situation ist nicht nur bei mir aufgetreten sonder bei allen meinen Partner die ich die Firma auch empfohlen habe. Alle Profit ! Ohne große dd, jedem wurde der weggenommen , reglementiert auf 50% und Start wieder bei 0!

Ich habe vor kurzem eine Bewertung geschrieben diese ich aber nun korrigiere aufgrund von fehlendem Wissen .

Ich bin nun schon länger bei upcomers und habe nach wie vor mehrere Challenges getestet . Mit der ash und der eon turbo kam ich am besten klar , leider ist auf diesen challenges ein sogenanntes shield . Dieses erhöht den psychischen Druck für trader massiv da man so schon genug Druck hat um alles zu schaffen und alle Regeln zu beachten, durch das shield bin ich zb so stark in den Druck geraten das ich anfing emotional zu handeln um aus dem Druck heraus zu kommen... Ich habe dies angesprochen und upcomers hat sich von einer Seite gezeigt die man sich von propfirmen nur wünschen kann. Es wurde auf das Problem eingegangen und sie nehmen sich das Feedback sehr zu Herzen . Ich bin dankbar auf eine Firma gestoßen zu sein die nicht nur den besten Kundenservice hat den ich je bei einer Propfirm gesehen habe sondern auch extremes Verständnis und Mitgefühl Kunden gegenüber zeigt . Ich hoffe zukünftig dass evtl das shield verbessert wird oder es auch solche challenges ohne shield gibt . Ich denke dies wäre nochmal das on top oben drauf das die Firma eh schon hat :) .
Ich danke dem Kundenservice für alles , super super nette Leute und absolut verständnisvoll . Ich kenne keine Propfirm die einen so tollen Kundenservice hat geschweige denn Kunden so entgegen kommt zusätzlich traumhafte Preise für challenges anbietet .
Ich freue mich auf die Zukunft , Auszahlungen und hoffentlich auch bald traden ohne shield sondern reines risikomanagement . Ich kann diese Firma sehr empfehlen gerade auch für Anfänger die noch nicht viel Geld haben aber eine tolle Propfirm suchen . Danke !!

Would not recommend, hidden rules only appear when trying to request whitdrawal. Basically they will do anything in Thier power not to pay out.

Update 16.06.2026: Ich kann jeden nur davor warnen sich mit dieser Firma einzulassen. Auf deren Antwort vom 26.05.26 ist bisher keine Rückmeldung vom Head of Customer Serice gekommen, obwohl diese per Mail angekündigt wurde. Das Konto ist auch weiterhin gesperrt und sie schulden mir immer noch über 6500 $. Unter Seriös verstehe ich etwas andereswie diese Firma bietet.

Meine Erfahrung mit Upcomers war am Ende extrem enttäuschend und aus meiner Sicht hochgradig unseriös.

Sobald man als Trader dauerhaft profitabel wird, beginnen plötzlich Probleme, Einschränkungen und immer neue Ausreden. Mir wurden zustehende Auszahlungen gleich zweimal um 50 % gekürzt – jeweils mit fadenscheinigen Begründungen. Gleichzeitig wurde aber weiterhin versucht, mich mit großen Versprechungen im System zu halten.

Der Head of Customer Service schrieb mir persönlich eine lange Nachricht, in der ich als „High Performing Trader“ bezeichnet wurde. Mir wurde erklärt, dass ich wegen meiner starken Performance in ein sogenanntes „A-Book“-Modell übernommen werde. Dabei wurde mir ausdrücklich zugesichert:

mein Konto werde während der Umstellung nur pausiert,
die 35-Tage-Inaktivitätsregel werde ausgesetzt,
mein Guthaben bleibe vollständig geschützt,
regelmäßige Updates würden erfolgen,
Auszahlungen würden schneller und ohne Probleme bearbeitet.

Nichts davon wurde eingehalten.

Mein betroffenes Konto war: #298444
Damit später nicht behauptet wird, man könne mich „nicht finden“ oder ich solle mich erst beim Support melden: Ich habe sämtliche E-Mails, den Account, Nachrichten und Zusagen vollständig dokumentiert und kann alles belegen.

Zum Zeitpunkt der Zusagen hatte ich auf dem Konto einen Gewinn von 8.842 $. Ausbezahlt wurden am Ende gerade einmal 1.485 $. Gleichzeitig wurde mir schriftlich zugesichert, dass der restliche Gewinn sicher sei und nach der angeblichen A-Book-Umstellung vollständig ausgezahlt werde.

Inzwischen werden plötzlich nur noch 5.842 $ als Gewinn angezeigt. Der Rest ist einfach verschwunden. Für mich wirkt das so, als hätte man sich das Geld schlicht selbst einbehalten. Und ehrlich gesagt gehe ich inzwischen auch nicht mehr davon aus, dass die restlichen 5.842 $ jemals ausgezahlt werden.

Besonders absurd: Mein Konto wurde später wegen „Inaktivität“ geschlossen – obwohl mir vorher ausdrücklich mitgeteilt wurde, dass ich während der Umstellung gar nicht traden könne und die Inaktivitätsregel ausgesetzt sei.

Auch eine zugesagte Sofortauszahlung ohne Gebühren wurde nicht freiwillig ausgeführt. Ich musste selbst mehrfach nachfragen und am Ende wurden trotzdem Gebühren abgezogen – entgegen der schriftlichen Zusage.

Für mich entsteht ganz klar der Eindruck, dass profitable Trader dort nicht erwünscht sind. Solange man Gebühren für neue Accounts bezahlt, ist alles freundlich. Sobald größere Auszahlungen anstehen oder man konstant Gewinne erzielt, beginnen plötzlich Probleme, Kürzungen und neue Regeln.

Mein persönlicher Rat nach dieser Erfahrung: Finger weg von diesem Anbieter.

I recently bought instant vanguard account and had many questions around it. Jan from customer services has helped me thoroughly and explained everything very clearly. I am happy with their good customer service!!

una excelente empresa UPCOMERS, he tenido mas de 14 cuentas desde enero que soy cliente y creo que me quedare por muchos años. cada cuenta que perdia era un aprendizaje mas sobre las reglas de la casa, una vez que se cumplan llegan los abonos, que hasta ahora llevo mas de 3700 dolares , y espero recibir mas porque me estoy haciendo con sus normas . el trato es excelente , siempre atentos y serviciales , la unica queja que tardan en contestar los correos , sobre todo los fines de semana , que me imagino como todos trabajan unos cuantos para dar cobertura, por lo demas ninguna queja, los pagos superrapidos, y cuando sancionan , te lo explican clarito , muy profesionales , no se les escapa ningun incumplimiento de norma, como ha de ser. muy recomendable, es una empresa muy seria y cumple con lo que dice, ni mas ni menos , asi que os invito a que probeis.

Short story - they didn't pay! I traded for a little over 4 weeks on their Oracle 50K account. Reached a total profit of $3,446.79. And only AFTER I requested a payout I received and email the next day indicating that my account violated a trailing drawdown rule. They even postdated the violation timestamp AFTER I brought my account to $53,446.79 and requested a payout on May 20, 2026.

"In your case (2026-05-20T03:49:21.678Z), this short-term drop in equity below $50000 meant that the trailing drawdown rule was breached, as it exceeded the trailing drawdown of 5% by falling below $50000."

Short story, they allow you to trade up your account to your chosen dollar amount target and only AFTER you request a payout they send you a FABRICATED VIOLATION email.

In my case, Upcomers didn't pay.

Instead, they were fast to send "come back stronger" email with 90% discount. Hahaha! I have fallen for this scam. Lesson learned. Trade your personal accounts people! :)
