# Futures - trade real exchange-listed contracts on a funded account

> Prove your edge in a skills-based evaluation, then trade a simulated account of up to $400,000 and keep 99% of the profit you make. One-time fee, no monthly cost, no time limit on Classic - hold positions overnight and through the weekend.

- **$500K** — Max Funding
- **99%** — Profit Split
- **2** — Evaluation paths

## Futures aren't just CFDs with a new label

You trade the real contract on a centralized exchange, not a broker's synthetic book that widens when it matters.

Upcomers Futures:
- Real CME / CBOT / NYMEX / COMEX
- Real exchange depth, fixed ticks
- Overnight & weekend, no swap

## Pass once. Get funded. Get paid.

Pick an evaluation, hit a small per-phase profit target while staying inside the drawdown limits, then trade a funded account and keep 99% of the profit. No time limit on Classic.

01. **Buy a challenge** — Pick an account from $25K to $500K and an evaluation - instant funding or a one-step challenge. One-time fee, no recurring costs. No time limit on Classic.
02. **Trade on DXtrade** — Hit each phase's profit target while staying inside the daily loss limit and the equity-based Dynamic Risk Shield™. Leverage up to 1:100, and you can hold overnight and through the weekend.
