Overview

Key advantages

Single-phase 5% target with no minimum trading days
Account sizes from $5K up to $1.5M
Choice of 80%, 90% or 100% profit split at purchase
No time limit on the challenge phase

Key disadvantages

Loss line trails your highest equity, including open profit
No regular price is verified, only checkout prices at 90% off
Hedging is prohibited even within a single account

Our assessment

Thunderbolt's 5% target is lower than most of the one-step programmes we track, but the 6% loss line trails your highest equity, so open profit you give back still tightens the account. The firm is young, and no regular price is verified, only checkout prices at 90% off a crossed-out figure. Read the funded-phase rules before buying.

Suitable for

Traders who can pass quickly with tight intraday risk control
Traders comparing large account sizes on a single phase

Less suitable if

You hold trades through large open drawdowns
You want a firm with a long public payout record

Instrument lists change and individual symbols within a class can be excluded. Confirm the exact symbol you intend to trade on Upcomers's own instrument page before buying.

Leverage

Leverage is quoted per asset class and is usually far lower on indices, metals and crypto than on forex. The programme table below carries the headline figure for each account.

Per-asset leverage is often lower than the headline forex figure. Where we could not verify a firm-level table, the per-programme figure above is what the firm publishes.

Consistency

Caps how much of total profit one trading day may represent. Checked at the payout stage at most firms.

20% best-day capBreach delays the payout

In the funded phase no single trading day may account for more than 20% of the profit being withdrawn. It is a soft rule: breaching it delays the payout rather than failing the account.

In plain terms. With a 20% cap, no single day may be worth more than 20% of your total profit, so you need at least 5 evenly sized winning days before a payout clears. On $10,000 of profit that means your best day cannot exceed $2,000. Breaching it delays your withdrawal rather than failing the account, so the fix is to keep trading until the distribution evens out.

Fee refunded

Paid back as a bonus of 200% of the fee, added to your payout balance after the third fully approved payout on the same account. It is not automatic: you ask support, which reviews the account's trading before adding it. Partially approved payouts and payouts with a strategy violation do not count, and one partially approved payout ends that account's eligibility.

Yes

Prices. Checkout prices with code PROPSCO, which takes 90% off a crossed-out figure, at the default 90% profit split; the 80% split costs less and the 100% split more. Prices without the code can change with Upcomers' own promotions and are not listed. No regular price is verified and the crossed-out figures are not used, so PropScouting does not rank Upcomers on price. Upcomers sells in US dollars, and euros, pounds and other currencies can be selected at checkout, each priced separately rather than converted from US dollars: €16.90 to €1,139 in euros.

Payout restrictions

No single trading day may represent more than 20% of a withdrawal; breaching it delays the payout.
The first seven payouts are capped by account size, for example $1,000 then $2,000 on a $100,000 account, and a cap rises only after a fully approved payout. After the seventh, the account is reset to its starting balance and the tiered cap no longer applies.
Each payout carries a processing fee deducted from it: $19.90 plus 2.49% by bank transfer. In crypto it is $19.90 plus 30%, or $19.90 plus 2.49% if more than half of your orders were paid in crypto.
