Account Types
Scaling Plan
Definition
A program that increases a trader's account size over time based on consistent profitable performance.
How It Works
Scaling plans reward consistent traders by increasing their funded account size — sometimes up to $2M+. Requirements vary by firm but typically include: maintaining profitability over 3-4 months, following all risk rules, and meeting minimum profit thresholds.
Some firms scale in 25% increments, others double the account size. Scaling plans also often come with improved profit splits (e.g., moving from 80% to 90%).
This is one of the most valuable features for long-term prop traders, as it allows organic growth without paying for larger accounts upfront.
