from simulated trading?

Only orders are simulated; charts reflect live trading conditions.
Payouts are not direct trading profits; they are paid in return for the valuable data you provide to LifeUp.

FAQ

For further questions, consult the LifeUp AI Agent or visit the Guide Center.

No. LifeUp is a legitimate simulated trading platform and has nothing to do with illegal rental account schemes. In a rental account scheme, the operator poses as live trading, takes clients' margin deposits, then uses unlicensed trading software to induce losses or refuse to pay out profits. LifeUp, by contrast, never takes client investment funds or margin deposits; it is a simulated trading platform that runs on paper orders only. Regular legal reviews by a financial law firm keep our operations safe and transparent.

No. You are not depositing capital. The only cost is the account fee (a service fee) to enter the Challenge.

We provide real-time charts identical to the live market. However, orders are executed in a simulated environment.

No. If you fail, your only loss is the cost of the account. You will never be charged any additional fees.

Regular trading hours are 6:00 PM to 4:55 PM (ET) the following day, and all positions must be closed before the daily close. Holiday trading hours are posted under Notice.

Trade CME Group futures including the Nasdaq, S&P 500, Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Gold, and Currencies. View the full list and commissions in the Guide Center.

Provided data consists of anonymized trade logs used for strategy research, AI model training, and the sale of processed data. Payouts are paid in return for this data, and the more consistent and stable your profits, the more it leads to Payouts and Live Account opportunities.

Payouts are contractor fees classified as business income, disbursed after a 3.3% withholding tax. They must be reported during the comprehensive income tax filing period the following May. We recommend consulting a tax professional for accurate filing.

LifeUp vs. Other Prop Firms

Prop trading has expanded rapidly worldwide, but vague rules and unexplained Payout denials have remained persistent issues. LifeUp operates differently.

At LifeUp,

  • Payouts are confirmed within 48 hours of request
  • All rules are published in the Guide Center, and we flag any violation right after the market close, before it ever reaches review.
  • Challenge Accounts: Profit Target only. No consistency rules, no minimum trading days, The Failure Balance moves only at market close.
  • Free NinjaTrader, Tradovate, and TradingView with built-in copy trading
  • 24/7 1:1 Support
  • Live Account Review after 5 Payouts (coming soon)

Typical prop firms

  • Payout processing varies by firm from same-day to 2 weeks, with rejection reasons undisclosed
  • Rules are scattered across multiple documents, and violations are caught only during review.
  • Minimum 1–3 trading days, consistency rules (30–55%) are common during Challenge, and intraday trailing thresholds are typical across most firms.
  • Basic market data is free, but DOM (Level 2) and real-time TradingView data may require additional fees. Copy trading with others is strictly prohibited.
  • English support only via chat or ticket
  • Transition to a live account is at company discretion after 3 to 5 Payouts

Standard Prop Firms: Based on publicly available terms from leading futures prop firms; parameters may vary by firm and timing.

Government Certified

Certificate of Patent Application (5-5-2023-047909679)

What are the rules required to pass the Challenge
or receive a Payout?

01

Failure Criteria

Each time your end-of-day balance reaches a new high, the Failure Balance (trailing drawdown) moves up by the same amount. It stays fixed during the session, never moves back down once raised, and stops rising at account size + $100.

02

Profit Target and Qualifying Trading Days

To request a Payout, you must reach the Profit Target and complete 7 qualifying trading days. A day counts as a qualifying trading day only when your daily profit meets the minimum for your account size ($200 for a $50,000 account).

03

Consistency Rule

Your highest daily profit must stay under 40% of your total profit to request a Payout. Going over does not fail your account — keep trading, add profit, and the share comes down.

Be sure to read the other detailed rules you need to follow while trading.
