UProfit (operating as UProfit Trader, LLC) has been offering futures prop trading programs since 2019. The futures prop firm is headquartered at 8 The Green, STE B, Dover, DE 19901, United States. UProfit operates an evaluation-based model: traders pass a simulated evaluation to access a Virtual Live account, from which payouts can be requested, with the possibility of progressing to a real-capital funded stage for top performers.
The firm focuses exclusively on futures trading, providing access to CME, NYMEX, and COMEX instruments. UProfit publishes a pass rate on its site: 22.45% of candidates passed the evaluation program during Q3 2024. The firm also publishes aggregate statistics on its homepage: 60,000 virtual live accounts since 2019, 13,445 approved payout requests since 2019, and an average payout of $1,400.
No regulatory registration or oversight body is disclosed on the firm’s site.
Account Types & Pricing
DAY Program
UProfit offers one product line, the DAY Program, in 3 account sizes. Rules differ across account sizes, as shown in the table below.
| 50K | 100K | 150K | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription (retail) | $78 | $116 | $196 |
| Activation fee (one-time, at transition to Virtual Live) | $150 | $150 | $150 |
| Reset fee (evaluation) | $39 | $58 | $98 |
| Virtual Live reset fee | $499 | $599 | $799 |
The monthly subscription renews every 30 calendar days from the date of first payment. The activation fee is a one-time payment triggered at the transition from evaluation to Virtual Live; it is not a recurring charge. Reset fees are $39 (50K), $58 (100K), and $98 (150K).
Evaluation Rules
Profit Target
Rules differ across account sizes, as shown in the table below.
| Account | Profit Target |
|---|---|
| 50K | $3,000 |
| 100K | $6,000 |
| 150K | $9,000 |
Profit targets are expressed as dollar amounts only, not as percentages.
Drawdown Rules (Evaluation)
Trailing Drawdown Values
Rules differ across account sizes, as shown in the table below.
| Account | Trailing Drawdown | Starting Drawdown Level | Drawdown Locks At |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50K | $2,000 | $48,000 | $50,000 |
| 100K | $3,000 | $97,000 | $100,000 |
| 150K | $4,500 | $145,500 | $150,000 |
The drawdown trails from the highest account balance reached during a session. For example, the 50K account starts with a drawdown level of $48,000. If the balance grows to $49,500, the drawdown level updates to $47,500, up to a maximum level of $50,000 (the starting account balance). Once the drawdown level reaches $50,000, it stops trailing.
Daily Loss Limit
The daily loss limit is a separate intraday ceiling that applies independently from the trailing drawdown. Rules differ across account sizes, as shown in the table below.
| Account | Daily Loss Limit |
|---|---|
| 50K | $1,100 |
| 100K | $2,200 |
| 150K | $3,000 |
Reaching or exceeding the daily loss limit at any point during the trading day, whether from open positions or cumulative closed trades, triggers an automatic account breach. All positions are closed immediately. The calculation includes commissions per contract.
Drawdown Calculation Method
The drawdown at the evaluation stage is EOD trailing (end-of-day trailing). The drawdown level updates at the end of each trading day based on the highest balance reached during that session. Intraday highs during the session move the high-water mark, but the drawdown level itself only updates at the end of the day.
Drawdown Lock
The trailing drawdown stops trailing once it reaches the starting account balance. The lock levels are $50,000 (50K), $100,000 (100K), and $150,000 (150K). Once the drawdown level reaches the starting balance, it no longer trails upward regardless of further profit. Reaching or exceeding the drawdown level at any point places the account in breach.
Consistency Rule (Evaluation)
A consistency rule applies during the evaluation stage. No single trading day’s profit may exceed 30% of the total accumulated profit in the account. This rule must be satisfied in order to pass the evaluation; it is not a breach trigger. The account won’t be placed in breach for violating it, but the trader cannot pass until the 30% threshold is met. Continued trading until the account balance grows enough to bring the best day below 30% of total profit resolves the issue.
Minimum Trading Days
UProfit does not publish a minimum number of trading days required to pass the evaluation.
Time Limit
There is no time limit on the evaluation stage. The subscription renews every 30 calendar days and remains active until the profit target is hit or the subscription is canceled. There is no stated expiry date for the evaluation. Once the evaluation is passed, traders have 30 calendar days to complete the activation process for the Virtual Live account; if activation is not completed within that window, the account is deactivated.
Position Size & Contract Limits
Contract limits at the evaluation stage are fixed maximums. Rules differ across account sizes, as shown in the table below.
| Account | Max E-Mini Contracts | Max E-Micro Contracts |
|---|---|---|
| 50K | 3 | 30 |
| 100K | 6 | 60 |
| 150K | 9 | 90 |
These are the maximum contracts allowed at any one time during the evaluation.
Activation Fee
The activation fee is $150 for all 3 account sizes (50K, 100K, 150K). It is a one-time payment triggered at the transition from the evaluation stage to the Virtual Live account. It is not a recurring monthly charge. The fee must be paid as part of the activation process, which also includes KYC verification and signing an agreement. Traders have 30 calendar days from passing the evaluation to complete this process, or the account is deactivated.
Funded Account Rules
UProfit’s funded stage is called the Virtual Live account. It operates on simulated capital; it is not a real-money brokerage account. Traders can withdraw profits from this stage (up to 80% profit split). A separate Funded Live stage with real capital is available for top performers who meet specific milestones (covered under Live Account Pathway).
Drawdown Rules (Funded)
Trailing Drawdown Values
The drawdown values and starting levels at the Virtual Live stage are identical to the evaluation stage. Rules differ across account sizes, as shown in the table below.
| Account | Trailing Drawdown | Starting Drawdown Level | Drawdown Locks At |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50K | $2,000 | $48,000 | $50,000 |
| 100K | $3,000 | $97,000 | $100,000 |
| 150K | $4,500 | $145,500 | $150,000 |
The drawdown trails from the highest balance reached during a session, and the lock behavior is the same as the evaluation stage.
Daily Loss Limit
The daily loss limit applies at the Virtual Live stage and is identical to the evaluation stage. Rules differ across account sizes, as shown in the table below.
| Account | Daily Loss Limit |
|---|---|
| 50K | $1,100 |
| 100K | $2,200 |
| 150K | $3,000 |
Reaching or exceeding this limit at any point during a trading day triggers an automatic breach at the Virtual Live stage as well.
Drawdown Calculation Method
The drawdown method at the Virtual Live stage is EOD trailing (end-of-day trailing), the same method that applies during the evaluation. The drawdown level updates at the end of each trading day based on the highest balance reached during that session.
Drawdown Lock
The trailing drawdown locks at the starting account balance ($50,000 / $100,000 / $150,000), identical to the evaluation stage. If the account balance hits the locked drawdown level at the Virtual Live stage, the account is placed in breach. A Live Reset is required to continue trading; the trader cannot simply wait for a subscription renewal as they can during the evaluation stage. Live Reset fees are $499 (50K), $599 (100K), and $799 (150K). Up to 3 Live Resets can be applied per Virtual Live account. Resets must be requested within 10 days of the breach.
UProfit does not publish documentation on what happens to the drawdown level after a payout is taken.
Consistency Rule (Funded)
A consistency rule applies at the Virtual Live stage for payout eligibility. No single trading day’s profit may exceed 30% of the total accumulated profit in the account. After each payout is processed, the 30% consistency calculation resets; only profits generated after the payout are counted toward the next consistency check. The consistency rule is not a breach trigger; it is a condition that must be met before a withdrawal can be submitted.
Position Size & Contract Limits (Funded)
Contract limits at the Virtual Live stage are not fixed; they scale with account profit. Rules differ across account sizes; see the Scaling Plan section below for the full tier structure.
Profit Split
Traders receive 80% of simulated profits on each withdrawal request. UProfit retains 20%. This split applies from the first withdrawal.
Payout Rules
First Payout Requirements
Before submitting a first withdrawal request, the following conditions must all be met:
- At least 4 profitable trading days (consecutive or non-consecutive)
- 30% consistency rule satisfied (no single day exceeds 30% of total accumulated profit)
- Account balance must exceed the SafetyNet threshold
The SafetyNet thresholds by account size are:
| Account | Starting Balance | SafetyNet | Threshold |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50K | $50,000 | $2,500 | $52,500 |
| 100K | $100,000 | $4,500 | $104,500 |
| 150K | $150,000 | $6,500 | $156,500 |
Only profits above the threshold are eligible for withdrawal. For example, on a 50K account with a balance of $53,000, only the $500 above $52,500 is eligible; the trader receives 80% of that amount.
Subsequent Payout Requirements
The same conditions apply to all subsequent withdrawal requests: 4 profitable trading days, 30% consistency rule (which resets after each payout), and the account balance must exceed the SafetyNet threshold. Conditions do not change after the first payout.
Payout Frequency
UProfit does not publish an explicit payout frequency. Withdrawals are processed within 24 business hours after the market closes (5:00 PM ET) as long as all conditions are met.
Payout Buffer
The SafetyNet functions as the payout buffer. It is added on top of the starting balance and is not withdrawable. Traders can only withdraw profits that exceed the SafetyNet threshold. The SafetyNet amounts are $2,500 (50K), $4,500 (100K), and $6,500 (150K).
Daily Progression Rule
No daily progression rule applies. The consistency rule resets after each withdrawal, meaning only post-payout profits count toward the next consistency check, but this is not a daily progression requirement.
Payout Caps & Limits
No maximum payout per request or minimum payout amount is published by UProfit.
Scaling Plan
Contract limits at the Virtual Live stage increase as the account’s profit grows. The current balance (including open and closed intraday capital) is used for the calculation. Exceeding the allowed contracts for the current profit level triggers a breach. Rules differ across account sizes, as shown in the tables below.
50K Virtual Live Account
| Profit Level | Max E-Mini Contracts | Max E-Micro Contracts |
|---|---|---|
| $0 – $1,500 | 2 | 20 |
| $1,501 and above | 3 | 30 |
100K Virtual Live Account
| Profit Level | Max E-Mini Contracts | Max E-Micro Contracts |
|---|---|---|
| $0 – $2,000 | 3 | 30 |
| $2,001 – $3,000 | 4 | 40 |
| $3,001 and above | 6 | 60 |
150K Virtual Live Account
| Profit Level | Max E-Mini Contracts | Max E-Micro Contracts |
|---|---|---|
| $0 – $2,000 | 3 | 30 |
| $2,001 – $3,000 | 4 | 40 |
| $3,001 – $5,000 | 6 | 20 |
| $5,001 and above | 9 | 20 |
Note: For the 150K account, the E-Micro limit drops from 40 to 20 at the $3,001 tier and remains at 20 at the $5,001 tier. This appears inconsistent and traders should confirm the current limits with UProfit before trading.
Live Account Pathway
UProfit offers a Funded Live stage (trading with real capital) for Virtual Live traders who reach a specific milestone. The trigger is completing 5 withdrawals from the Virtual Live account or reaching $5,000 in total withdrawals, whichever comes first. Once this milestone is met, the transition process begins and may take up to 15 calendar days.
At the Funded Live stage, traders operate on a real brokerage account and receive increased capital allocations based on monthly returns. Top-performing traders have the chance to join the Funded Live stage, with capital allocations increasing based on returns for the current month. Specific contract limits, drawdown rules, risk parameters, and profit split terms for the Funded Live stage are not published by UProfit.

Trading Hours & Overnight Policy
Trading hours are uniform across all DAY account sizes and both the evaluation and Virtual Live stages:
- Weekly open: Sunday at 6:00 PM ET
- Daily close: Monday through Thursday, all positions must be closed by 4:10 PM ET; markets reopen at 6:00 PM ET
- Weekly close: Friday at 4:10 PM ET
Swing trading between sessions is not permitted. All positions must be closed by 4:10 PM ET. If any positions remain open past that time, the system automatically closes all positions and orders at 4:10 PM ET regardless of profit or loss. Traders may reopen positions starting at 6:00 PM ET.
News Trading Policy
News trading is unrestricted. The UProfit site explicitly lists “Trade News – Full freedom to trade around announcements” as a feature. No restricted window or consequence for trading during news events applies.
Expert Advisors & Copy Trading
Automated trading via external software, artificial intelligence, high-frequency trading systems, or bulk data entry tools is prohibited when used to manipulate outcomes or gain unfair advantages. EAs or bots used for standard automated strategy execution are not explicitly addressed in UProfit’s published rules; traders intending to use automated strategies should confirm their approach with UProfit before deploying.
Copy trading is permitted, with restrictions. Traders may copy trades exclusively through UProfit’s integrated copy trading tool (available on both TradingView and Tradoverse platforms) and only between their own accounts. Copy trading between different users’ accounts is prohibited. The maximum accounts that can receive copied trades are 20 evaluation accounts, 3 Virtual Live accounts, and 1 Funded Live account.
Prohibited Practices
The following practices are explicitly prohibited and may result in account termination, cancellation of all profits, or permanent ban:
- Wash trades, layering, spoofing, and any other practice that distorts or manipulates the market
- Strategies designed to exploit platform errors, incorrect pricing, or data update delays
- Trading an excessive or unrealistic number of contracts in a single day
- Executing trades outside of the Best Bid or Offer (BBO)
- Using external or delayed data sources to gain unfair advantages
- Coordinating trades between linked or external accounts to manipulate outcomes, collectively reduce risk, or gain unfair advantages, including simultaneously placing opposing or identical trades across separate accounts
- Trading on behalf of third parties, sharing incentives, or entering profit-sharing arrangements linked to trading results
- Participating in strategies that, in UProfit’s sole discretion, involve non-viable trading, market manipulation, or conflict with a sustainable trading environment
Additional Rules
Inactivity Rule
Traders must complete at least 1 trade per week at the Virtual Live stage. A trade is defined as a complete round trip (entry and exit, long or short). A trading week runs from Sunday at 6:00 PM ET to Friday at 4:10 PM ET. Failing to trade for more than one week places the Virtual Live account in breach, requiring a Live Reset to resume. If a trader cannot trade for one week or more, the account can be placed in Safe Custody (pause) for 7, 14, or 21 days via the dashboard. The inactivity rule applies during both the evaluation and Virtual Live phases and is a breach trigger at the Virtual Live stage.
Maximum Account Allocation
Traders may hold up to 20 evaluation accounts and up to 3 Virtual Live accounts simultaneously.
VPN/VPS Prohibition
The use of VPNs, VPS services, or any related tools that result in or may result in outsourced trading is strictly prohibited. Detection of VPN or VPS use results in immediate closure of all associated accounts and forfeiture of all accumulated profits.
Scalping Policy
UProfit does not prohibit scalping outright, but monitors the overall trade profile of accounts. The firm specifically evaluates the percentage of profits generated from trades lasting under 60 seconds, and whether traders consistently interact with their stop losses or use automated adjusters. Accounts where a high proportion of profits come from very short-duration trades may be flagged for review. This is assessed holistically rather than as a hard rule with a defined threshold.
Trading Platforms
Available Platforms
UProfit supports 2 platforms for DAY accounts: TradingView and Tradoverse. Both are available on desktop and mobile. The firm is not locked to a proprietary platform in the traditional sense; TradingView is a widely used third-party charting and trading platform, while Tradoverse appears to be a platform with smart order routing and backtesting capabilities offered through a UProfit integration. Traders connect to their DAY accounts on both platforms using credentials found in their UProfit dashboard.
UProfit has built an exclusive TradingView integration that allows direct order execution from within the TradingView interface.
Data Feeds & Connectivity
UProfit does not publish details about the data feed providers or connectivity infrastructure used by either platform. Traders access CME, NYMEX, and COMEX market data through both TradingView and Tradoverse.
Billing & Account Management
Subscription Model
UProfit evaluation accounts operate on a monthly subscription model. The subscription renews every 30 calendar days from the date of the first payment and remains active until the trader hits the profit target, moves to the Virtual Live stage, or manually cancels. Upon rebill, the account does not automatically reset; it continues in its current state. If the account has an active breach at the time of renewal, the trader can request a free reset from the support team after the subscription renews. Cancellation can be done from the dashboard at any time; to avoid the next charge, cancellation must occur at least 1 business day before the renewal date. Available payment methods include credit/debit card (via Stripe), PayPal, cryptocurrency via CoinPayments (USDT or USDC), and local currency payment options via PayRetailers in select countries in Latin America and Africa.
Resets
A reset restores the evaluation account to its initial starting balance and clears any rule violations. Reset fees match the help center pricing: $39 (50K), $58 (100K), and $98 (150K). A reset can be applied at any time and does not affect the monthly subscription date or payment cycle. Alternatively, traders can wait for their subscription renewal and request a free reset from support if the account had a breach before the renewal date or the balance was below the starting amount. The reset fee for Virtual Live accounts is different and significantly higher: $499 (50K), $599 (100K), $799 (150K), and is subject to separate conditions (see Drawdown Lock under Funded Account Rules).
Payouts & Withdrawals
This section covers payment mechanics. Payout qualification rules (when a trader is eligible, how much they can withdraw, the SafetyNet buffer, consistency requirements, and the 4 profitable days requirement) are covered under Funded Account Rules.
Payment Methods
3 payout methods are available:
- RISE: UProfit’s primary payment partner; supports USD bank transfers and cryptocurrency withdrawals (USDC, USDT, Bitcoin, Ethereum). Traders located in Venezuela can withdraw in USDC.
- Cryptocurrency (USDC.ERC20 only): listed as a standalone payout option separate from RISE
- PayRetailers: available in select countries
No fees are charged by UProfit on payouts. RISE notes that crypto transactions come with lower fees than international wire transfers, but does not specify amounts.
Processing Times
Withdrawals are processed within 24 business hours after the market closes (5:00 PM ET), provided all conditions are met. Crypto transfers via RISE are nearly instant once processed. Per-method processing time breakdowns beyond the 24-hour window are not published.
Tax & Eligibility Requirements
KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is required before the Virtual Live account can be activated; traders must provide a valid government-issued ID or passport and complete identity verification through the dashboard. UProfit does not publish whether a W-9 or W-8BEN tax form is required before payouts can be processed.
Restricted Countries
The following countries are confirmed as ineligible to participate: North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Syria, Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Myanmar.
