Scaling is now one program

Smart Scaling and Simple Scaling have been phased out. Both are replaced by the Sustainable Scaling Program, which took effect on 19 August 2026 and applies to every funded account.

Which program you were on used to depend on your trading mode. There is now one set of scaling rules for everyone.

The biggest improvement is that scaling now happens inside your existing account. Nothing is closed and nothing is reissued. The increment is added once your fifth payout is approved, and you keep trading.

This program is about sustainability, and the major changes follow from it. We fund you, and as you cash out, we scale out. When you scale up, we fund you again. That keeps our operations stable under any market conditions and lets us operate an A-book strategy behind the scenes that does not interfere with how you trade or what you keep.

What has changed

	Before	Now
Scaling requirement	Four payouts or 12% cumulative profit	Five payouts
Your account	Closed and replaced with a new account	The same account, kept open
Open positions	Closed at every scale	Unaffected
Max Loss limit	Reset after every payout	Decays from your second payout
Rank 6 increment	60%	50%
Who it applies to	Depended on your trading mode	Every challenge mode

If you already have a funded account

The new program applies from your next payout. Payouts you have already received count towards your scaling target.

Max Loss decay is new

From your second payout, each payout decays your Max Loss allowance by the amount withdrawn from the account. If $300 is withdrawn, the allowance falls by $300. Your first payout from the account does not decay the allowance.

Each time the account scales, the allowance is restored in full, based on the larger starting balance. Regardless of the amount withdrawn, it never falls below 1% of the starting balance.

Tying the allowance to the amount withdrawn keeps the capital at risk in proportion to what the account has already paid out.

The increment

The increment is a percentage of your initial balance, which is the original balance of the account set by the challenge you purchased. It is determined by your Rank.

Rank	Scaling Increment
0	10%
1	10%
2	20%
3	30%
4	40%
5	50%
6	50%

How far scaling goes

An account can scale eight times. The maximum allocation is $300,000 and the largest increment is 50%, so the highest balance reachable through scaling is $1,500,000.
