What's changed

Patch notes

Newest first. Written for people who use Upwick rather than for people who write it — if something you relied on moved, it should be on this page. Fixes that affect a number you were shown are marked, because you deserve to know when an answer you acted on was wrong.

The guard says less, and explains more

Every box now has a short line under it and a “?” for the rest. The notes under the boxes ran eleven to forty words each, sixteen of them, stacked — and that pile was the thing people meant when they said the guard was hard to follow. Each note is six words or fewer now. The full explanation is still there in every case: tap the “?” beside the label and it opens underneath. Nothing was deleted; it was moved to where a question belongs. The first screen went from 514 words to 306.
A first visit was told an account was loaded when nothing had been typed. Four boxes ship with example numbers in them, and the greeting panel counted any box holding a number as one you had given it — so a brand new visitor read “your firm and 4 account figures are in” about somebody else’s numbers, and the three‑step guide they actually needed was hidden behind that claim. It now counts only figures you put there.
“Biggest size that is safe” read as dollars. Four rows of the arithmetic table are money and one is a count of shares, and they were printed identically in the same right‑aligned column — so risks 480 sat directly above safe size 410 with nothing to say the second was not also dollars. The money rows carry a $ now, and the size row says what it is counting.
Names that match your screen. “Price you would get in at” is Entry price, “most you can lose in one day” is Daily loss limit, and when the guard cannot answer it names the box you are looking for rather than describing it.
Free accounts no longer read a warning about a feature they do not have. The caveat about screenshot reading, and the advert for it, took up more room above the form than the form did.

A half‑filled form no longer gets a confident answer

Typing an entry price and stopping got you a verdict anyway. The three price boxes shipped with example crypto numbers in them. Type 238.20 as your entry, get called away before filling in the stop, and the guard measured your $238 stock against a stop of 68,600 — a $169,000 stop distance — and answered as though it were sure. The boxes now start empty, and until entry, stop and size are all filled in you get instructions rather than a verdict. It does not cost you a check either.
When a screenshot shows a limit you cannot measure, it now says which number is missing. Firms print the daily limit as the balance you must not fall to, worked out from what you started the day with. If that day‑start figure is not in the picture and you are up on the account, the reader could not do the subtraction — and said “that cannot be an amount you are allowed to lose”, which sent people looking for a misread that was not there. It now tells you the day‑start balance is what it needs, and leaves the box empty rather than guessing. A guess there would hand you room your firm never gave you.
Plainer English throughout. The guard's labels now read the way you would say them out loud — “Price your stop sits at” rather than “Stop” — and the arithmetic table says “Left before you breach” instead of “Remaining allowance”. The longest sentences across the site have been cut down. Nothing about what the tool does has changed.

Four things that could have cleared a trade that breaks your account

Futures and forex risk was badly understated. The guard had no idea what one point was worth on your instrument, so it priced everything like shares. Four NQ contracts with a 37.5‑point stop were reported as $150 of risk when the real figure is $3,000 — twenty times out. On a forex lot it was worse. There is now a “what one point is worth” box, and the answer scales with it.
Trailing drawdown was treated as if it never moved. On Apex and Topstep your floor follows your high‑water mark up. Upwick was measuring from your starting balance instead, which on an account up 6% showed three times more room than existed — and the size it suggested would have ended the account.
The ATR box arrived with 800 in it. That is a crypto‑sized number, and the box was labelled optional so nobody touched it. Enter any stock or forex trade and it refused you, advising a stop hundreds of times too wide. It now ships empty and refuses to use a figure that cannot belong to your instrument.
The fee list only had crypto exchanges in it, defaulting to 0.25% a side — roughly a hundred times what a stock or forex trade costs. Sane trades were refused for “fees bigger than the move”. Futures, forex and stocks are in the list now, and if a refusal comes down to fees it tells you which rate it used.

The guard asks for six numbers instead of sixteen

Only what an answer actually needs is on screen. Your firm, your account size, your balance, and the trade. Everything that sharpens the answer — day‑start balance, open positions, ATR, fee rate — is behind Add more for a sharper answer, and every one of them has a sensible default.
Plain words on every box. “Peak equity (high‑water mark)” is now “highest your balance has ever been”. The arithmetic underneath reads the same way.
It no longer answers before you have asked. Arriving used to show a confident verdict computed from the form's own placeholder numbers. Now it tells you the three steps until there is a real trade to judge, and a half‑filled form gets instructions rather than arithmetic.
Upload a photo, not just a screenshot. The file button was buried behind copy that led with Ctrl+V, which does not exist on a phone. A photo of your screen works.

Nine additions to Pro

The consistency rule — your best day as a share of your profit, in the shape your firm actually measures it, and the most today can make before today becomes the problem.
What it would take to finish — what is left to the target, how long that is at the rate you have been going, and the largest risk per trade that survives three losses in a row.
Payout blockers on a funded account: trading days, the window, and the consistency rule, with anything it does not know listed as not known rather than passed over.
Session heat — which hours of the day cost you.
Release warnings for CPI, payrolls and FOMC, read off a hand‑checked calendar rather than guessed from a rule of thumb.
Rule changes — when your firm rewrites its rulebook after you have paid.
An evening summary of tomorrow's numbers, and notifications rather than only email.
Reason tags — one tap after each verdict, grouped into which reasons actually make you money.
A scoreboard of every refusal you overrode and what those trades came to.

Numbers that were wrong, and a page that was too long

A firm rule was simply incorrect. Upwick claimed FundedNext Stellar CFD had a consistency rule. It does not. Every preset has since been re‑checked against the firm's own published pages.
European number formats were out by a factor of a thousand when importing a trade history. “−1.250,75” was read as “−1.25”.
The pricing was eight screens down on a phone. It is second now, and the page says the same things in half the words.

Upwick is an early build and this list is going to keep getting longer. If something reads wrong, or a number does not match your dashboard, tell us — a person reads it, and that is how most of the fixes above were found.
