🔷 What Do I Need to Qualify for Scaling?

To scale your funded account, you must meet all the following conditions:

You must not have failed your funded account in the last 4-month cycle.
Be profitable in at least 2 out of those 4 months. We want to see that you can make money more than once, not just get lucky.
Your account must have a positive balance at the time of scaling. This means your account is in profit overall, not in loss.
You must reach at least +10% profit overall in those last 4 months.
(Withdrawals don't affect this target).

Note:

We review your account every time you make a 10% profit. Once approved, we release your profit share, and you continue trading as normal.

Account review may take up to 1 to 2 business days. Once approved, you'll receive a confirmation email with your new account and login details.
