🔎 What will you learn in this article?
In this article, you’ll discover how trading with Upscale works, what makes this approach unique, how to get funded with up to $400,000, and why your own trades are the best lessons for trader growth. We’ll break down the benefits of the Telegram format, highlight the platform’s key features, and share tips on how to use Upscale for rapid professional development.
📃 What is Upscale?
💎 Upscale is a prop trading platform where traders can get a funded account from $1,000 up to $100,000 and keep up to 80% of the profits. All you need to get started is to pass a challenge and prove your skills.
☯️ Upscale is available both as a web version and a Telegram bot:
The web version is perfect when you’re at home or in the office at your computer: it’s convenient for analyzing charts on a big screen, working with multiple windows, and doing deep trade reviews.
The Telegram bot is ideal when you’re on the go or don’t have access to a computer: you can quickly open trades, monitor the market, and chat with the community right from your phone — no need to switch between apps.
💬 “Yeah, trading right in Telegram is awesome! But what determines my account size? Do I get more if I trade better?”
You actually choose your own account size — it all depends on which challenge you decide to take. Upscale challenge pricing is flexible and lets you pick the level that matches your experience and ambitions.
For example, to access a $1,000 funded account, you only need to pay $18. Want to go big and try for $100,000? The participation fee is $899. There are options for every level — from “Minimum Risk” to “Market Legend” — so you can start small and scale up as you gain confidence.
📃 Upscale prop trading challenge plans and pricing
💬 “Yeah, the prices really aren’t sky-high! I mean, I’m not a total newbie, but I’d like to start with a cheaper plan first. Can I switch to a higher one once I get the hang of it?”
Absolutely! With Upscale, you’re not limited to just one account — you can manage up to four trading accounts at the same time from a single profile. This means you can get total funding of up to $400,000.
Want to start with the minimum plan to test the platform and get used to the prop trading conditions? No problem! Once you feel more confident, just add another account with a bigger balance.
🏆 How to join an Upscale challenge?
The whole process takes just a couple of steps and is fully online, whether you use Telegram or the web version.
First, choose your plan and pay for participation using Telegram Stars, USDT, or TON. The bigger the deposit, the better value you get for your challenge fee.
🚀 Let the challenge begin!
The challenge consists of two stages, each lasting 14 days, designed to test your consistency and risk management skills.
For example, for an account of $10,000, at the first stage you need to earn $500, and at the second stage — $800.
🔎 You can learn more about the challenge rules and transitioning to a funded account on Upscale’s Gitbook.
💬 "Wait, I haven’t read all the trading books yet!"
🎓 In trading, as in life, the best teacher is practice. You can take dozens of courses, but until you start opening real trades, mistakes and victories won’t become your personal lessons. Upscale gives you the chance to learn from firsthand experience — without risking your entire deposit.
💡 Instead of investing a large sum and worrying over every dollar, you simply buy a challenge — your attempt. Didn’t succeed the first time? No problem: you can try again without losing your entire capital, because your risks are limited only to the cost of the challenge. It’s like learning to ride a bike: you get on, try, sometimes fall, but grow more confident each time.
⚡ Plus, Upscale helps traders grow for free right in Telegram. It’s a great way to get theoretical knowledge and practical tips that complement real trading experience.
📈 This approach makes prop trading with Upscale accessible and safe even for beginners — you learn by doing, not just from others’ mistakes, and gradually sharpen your skills without blowing your account to zero.
💰 And the best part? Once you’ve found your footing and started trading profitably, you can scale up to larger sums and keep up to 80% of the profits — while others keep hesitating, clinging to their money, and fearing to take the first step.
