📹 Split the cost with friends – paid off his debt Five years of trading. $100 in your account, credit card debt hanging over your head. You keep trying to grow the first to pay off the second. Sound familiar? That's Vlad's story, the guest of our latest interview. He couldn't afford an Upscale account on his own, so he literally pooled money with his friends to enter our tournament. 👨‍💻 How did that gamble turn out? Second place, a $100,000 funded account, and $5,000 in total payouts – enough for Vlad to pay off his credit card debt in full. 🤨 But here's the surprising part – Vlad admits he barely has a trading strategy. He even calls himself a "survivorship bias case." Why did he keep losing when trading with his own $100, but start withdrawing profits on a much larger funded account? 👇 🍿 Watch the interview on YouTube or ⚡️ Read the text version ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🆙 App | Web | Chat | News | Twitter | YouTube | Support

🔐 Binance got hacked. What now? Last night, around $6.3 billion was drained from Binance’s hot wallets in a matter of minutes. The biggest hack in crypto history – roughly four times the size of the Bybit hack in 2025. Early findings suggest the attackers gained access through a DevOps engineer’s laptop. 📉 And it’s not the first time: • Bybit, February 2025: $1.5 billion • Bitget, September 2026: $388 million 💸 “Don’t keep your money on CEX.” We hear it after every hack. For savings, that makes sense: a self-custody wallet, your own keys, no exchange holding your funds. But damn it, you need funds on the exchange to trade. “Keep them somewhere else” is easier said than done. 🫡 There’s a way out of that trade-off: trade with someone else’s capital With a prop firm, you pay for an account and trade the firm’s capital. Your account fee is at risk, rather than your entire trading deposit. 👀 But can you trust the prop firm? Not every firm. You need evidence: • How many payouts has it processed, and how consistently does it pay? • Can you verify the transactions onchain? • Is the team accessible? • What are traders in the community saying? 🤝 At Upscale, we put those answers out in the open: over $3.5M paid to traders, verifiable onchain transactions, trader interviews, and an open community. Keep your money under your control. We’ll provide the capital to trade. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🆙 App | Web | Chat | News | Twitter | YouTube | Support

🔥 AI Agents, Position Reversal & Advanced Analytics: Upscale Update One of our biggest platform updates yet is here! New features for traders, algo traders, and partners. Let's break it down: 🤖 Connect AI Agents to Your Account You can now manage your Upscale trading account using natural language through ChatGPT, Claude Code, and other AI tools. Go to Settings → MCP and follow the setup instructions. You'll need an API key and an account with API trading enabled. 🔄 The Long-Awaited Position Reversal Switch from long to short and back with a single click. Your current position closes, and a new one opens in the opposite direction. You'll need to set your Stop Loss and Take Profit again. We've also added separate displays for spreads and price impact, adjustable maximum price deviation, and a daily drawdown risk warning before placing a trade. 📊 Advanced Partner Analytics See which accounts your audience prefers, how often they return to make another purchase, and what generates the most revenue. Available to partners with at least 5 active referrals. 🤲 What Else? • New markets: ORCL, AVGO, TSM, and JP225 • Maximum number of active accounts increased from 4 to 5 • Improved platform stability What do you think of the update?

💰 How much do Upscale funded traders actually make? People get into prop trading to make money. But when you see a screenshot of a payout worth several thousand dollars, you can't help but wonder: "Is that really achievable? Or is it someone's all-time record?" We analyzed 1,462 real payouts specifically for our community. We calculated the median payout for each account size and compared it to the account price: 💵 $5K → $234 – 3.4× the account price 💵 $10K → $410 – 3.4× 💵 $25K → $1,081 – 4.3× 💵 $50K → $2,049 – 5.1× 💵 $100K → $4,086 – 5.7× 💵 $200K → $9,798 – 7.8× 💡 What's interesting here? • These aren't record-breaking payouts. These are median values, meaning half of the payouts in our dataset are even higher. • A single payout can cover your entry cost several times over. For example, the median payout on a $50K account is $2,049 – roughly five times the account price. • Your account stays active after a payout. You can keep trading and receiving payouts as long as you follow the rules. Of course, not everyone makes it to the payout stage, and everyone trades at their own pace. But among those who do receive payouts, these amounts are far from exceptional. 🫡 What if you could pay less to access the exact same account? More details coming soon.

💻 A prop firm with its own trading platform. Why should you care? Imagine this: you're trading with a prop firm, following the rules, and withdrawing profits. Then one day, instead of your charts, you see an announcement: "We're shutting down." The broker providing the firm's trading platform has stopped supporting the service. You haven't broken any rules. But suddenly, you have nowhere to trade. 💀 For Funds For Traders users, this wasn't hypothetical In August 2024, the firm announced its closure after Eightcap decided to stop supporting MT4 and MT5 for prop trading. Without access to these platforms, the firm couldn't continue operating. 🤐 Someone else's platform. Someone else's decisions For a prop firm, integrating an existing platform is easier than building one from scratch. But that convenience comes with dependency: when a partner changes the rules, traders face the consequences – even though they never chose that partner in the first place. 🫡 Upscale took a different approach We built our own trading platform and continue improving it to reduce our dependence on third parties. Here's what that means for you: 🧰 All markets and features in one place Crypto, stocks, indices, forex, and commodities – all in one platform. Track your account progress, manage risks, and request payouts without jumping between services. 🤝 Your feedback shapes the product Missing an order type or important trade details? We don't have to wait for someone else's platform to release an update. Share your ideas in our community chat or with support – your suggestions help us decide what to improve next. 🐈‍⬛ Upscale is expanding globally We're expanding into new markets worldwide, making Upscale accessible to more traders. Trade from your desktop or smartphone – in your browser, through Telegram, or via our PWA app. Having our own trading platform doesn't eliminate every risk. But it gives us more freedom to build Upscale into the product we – and our traders – want it to be! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🆙 App | Web | Chat | News | Twitter | YouTube | Support
