Payout policies
LifeUp Trading operates on a unique reward-based payout system where trader compensation is structured around trading cycles rather than fixed percentages. Payouts are processed per cycle, with the specific terms varying based on account size and performance milestones achieved. This structure is designed to incentivize consistent trading behavior and reward traders who demonstrate disciplined approach over time. The reward system differs from traditional profit splits, offering a performance-tiered approach to compensation. Traders should carefully review the specific payout terms for their chosen account size as parameters vary. This model emphasizes sustainable trading practices and rewards long-term consistency.
Scaling plan
LifeUp Trading offers account sizes from $50K up to $300K, providing significant capital access for qualified traders. The scaling opportunity comes through proving consistent profitability in the evaluation phase and maintaining strong performance as a funded trader. The reward-based system means that compensation grows with demonstrated trading skill and consistency. Larger account sizes come with proportionally scaled drawdown limits and profit targets. Traders looking to grow should focus on maintaining disciplined trading and meeting the specific requirements for their account tier. The path to larger capital is built on proven performance rather than time-based upgrades.

Risk details
LifeUp Trading implements an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown system with account-specific parameters. The drawdown limits vary by account size, with daily drawdown rules that differ per plan. This customized approach means traders must understand their specific accounts risk parameters. The EOD trailing methodology calculates the drawdown threshold at market close based on your highest account balance, providing more flexibility during trading hours. Risk management is central to success with LifeUp Trading, as exceeding drawdown limits results in account termination. Position sizing, stop-loss discipline, and understanding the specific rules for your account size are essential for long-term success.
