Scaling Plan

A scaling plan is the schedule by which a prop firm increases a funded trader's account size — typically a step up of 25% to 50% after a profit target is met over a defined period without breaching the rules. Read it as a retention mechanic as much as a reward. Larger accounts usually come with the same percentage drawdown limit, so the absolute room to be wrong grows while the rules stay identical, and the account you were passed on is the one you must keep clean for months. Check whether scaling requires a minimum number of trading days, whether a single payout resets the clock, and whether the increase is permanent or reverts after a losing month.
