What is Account scaling
A funded account growing larger once conditions are met, for example profit over a period with no rule breaches; every firm sets its own growth conditions.
How it works
Example
A $50,000 account grows 25% under a hypothetical plan after a clean streak: 50,000 × 1.25 = $62,500. A 1% risk was $500, it becomes $625. The percent is the same, the amount is larger.
Common mistake
Raising the risk percent along with the account size: the amount grows, the percent stays where it was.
