Upcomers Futures review
Upcomers Futures is the futures program of Upcomers, run by Upcomers Ltd in Saint Lucia and Royal Flow FZCO in Dubai. Traders take Thunderbolt Classic (a one step with a 6% target and 4% end of day trailing drawdown), Vanguard (instant funding with a 3% trailing drawdown) or Horizon on the firm's own Upcomers X platform with CME data, at sizes up to $400,000, with splits up to 100%. Funded accounts are tight: a 2% daily limit and a 1.5% maximum loss per trade. Be aware that the rules were reworked on 29 October 2026, payouts are capped and rise over the first payouts, and Trustpilot has removed the Upcomers rating over a guideline breach.
Suits
Careful intraday futures traders who risk well under 1.5% per trade and want a one day pass and splits up to 100%.
Less suited to
You need NinjaTrader, Tradovate or TradingView, take larger single trade risks, or rely on independent review scores.
Pros
- Can be passed in one day.
- End of day trailing drawdown that locks at the starting balance.
- News trading allowed, including straddles.
- Splits up to 100%.
Cons
- Red flag: Trustpilot has removed the Upcomers rating over a guideline breach.
- Funded accounts: 2% daily limit and 1.5% maximum loss per trade.

- Rules reworked on 29 October 2026.
Verdict
Upcomers Futures can be passed in a day, uses an end of day trailing drawdown that locks at the starting balance, allows news trading including straddles, and offers splits up to 100%.
The funded rules are among the tightest in futures: a 2% daily loss limit, a 1.5% cap on any single trade's loss, a 35% best day rule and three days of at least 0.5% before each payout. Trading is only possible on the in house Upcomers X platform, with everything closed at 4:50 pm ET, and payout caps rise over the first payouts.
Red flags: the program shares Upcomers' Trustpilot profile, whose rating was removed for a guideline breach, with recent reviews reporting banned accounts and reduced payouts. Rules changed on 29 October 2026.
Upcomers Futures may suit careful intraday traders who keep small risk per trade, but most traders will find more room elsewhere.
