01What happened

Ten days becomes five, for everyone.

OneUp Trader has launched Eval Pro, a new account type that lets every customer qualify for funding in as few as 5 trading days instead of the previous 10. The firm says all other evaluation rules and account parameters remain unchanged. Eval Pro is available across all account sizes, with the same five-day minimum applying to new and returning customers alike.

02The details

A faster comeback for Express accounts too.

Alongside Eval Pro, OneUp Trader has updated its Express accounts, used by traders who have lost a funded account and want to requalify, cutting that path from 5 days down to 3. The changes give traders two separate speed-ups: a shorter first-time evaluation, and a shorter route back to funding after a loss.

03Why it matters

Speed without touching the rulebook is a meaningful distinction.

Many firms shorten evaluations by loosening the actual rules, dropping a consistency requirement or widening a loss limit alongside the faster timeline. OneUp Trader's approach here is narrower: the minimum day count drops, but everything else about how the evaluation is graded stays the same. That's a smaller, easier change to reason about for traders trying to compare it against other firms' evaluation speeds, since the trading conditions themselves aren't part of what changed.

The Express account change is arguably the more trader-friendly of the two: a faster requalification path after losing a funded account lowers the cost, in time, of a single mistake, which matters more to an experienced trader managing an existing relationship with the firm than a first-time evaluation speed does.
