Scaling Plan
4.0

80% of your simulated profit made during the FT+ Trader phase can be withdrawn by you upon request. This withdrawal process is user-friendly and streamlined, as the amount eligible for withdrawal is automatically calculated at the time you initiate a payout request.

Moreover, the FT+ Trader program offers progressive incentives for successful trading. When you, as an FT+ Trader, achieve a milestone of 10% simulated profit (Experienced Trader Program, Master Trader Program and Premium Trader Program) or 20% simulated profit (Advanced Trader Program) in your simulated-live account, an opportunity arises for you to enhance your profit-sharing ratio. At this juncture, you can submit a request to modify the split of simulated profits to a more favorable ratio of 90/10. This adjusted ratio means that a larger portion of the profits – 90% – will be attributed to your account.

The incentives do not end there. As you continue to excel in your trading strategies and reach a higher benchmark of 30% simulated profit, the program offers an even more advantageous profit split. You are then eligible to request a transition to a 100/0 profit split. This exceptional split arrangement entitles you to the entirety of the simulated profits – a full 100%, reflecting the program’s commitment to rewarding skillful trading and strategic acumen.

This tiered profit split structure is designed not only to reward your trading successes but also to motivate continuous improvement and engagement with the trading platform. It’s a system that acknowledges and incentivizes your growth and proficiency as a trader within the simulated environment.

Advanced Trader Program

In this example, assuming customers do not withdraw, a customer with a simulated balance of $120,000 can ask to scale to $200,000. The customer would have the same amount of simulated profit on the new account balance of $220,000. ($20,000 in this example). The new static maximum simulated loss limit has been changed from $100,000 to $200,000.

In this example, customers now need to make an additional $20,000 of simulated profit to be able to scale on the simulated $200,000 level to scale to the next simulated level of $400,000. The customer would be free to withdraw simulated profit as suits their circumstances and trading risk profile.

Example of Scaling Plan

FT+ Account Starting Size (plus the profit you made from the last level) Balance Required For Next Level Balance Required For Next Level
Funded Account 25 000$ 20% 30 000$
Second scaling 50 000$ 20% 60 000$
Third scaling 100 000$ 20% 120 000$
Fourth scaling 200 000$ 20% 240 000$
Fifth scaling 400 000$ 20% 480 000$
Sixth scaling 800 000$ 20% 960 000$
Seventh scaling 1 600 000$ 20% 1 920 000$
Eighth scaling 2 500 000$ 20%

Prestige Trader Program

In the Prestige Trader Program, scaling up requires meeting specific conditions. 

First, traders must have made at least one approved withdrawal from their ‘FT+ Trader’ account. Second, the account must have been held for at least two months before the first scaling request, or two months must have passed since the last successful scaling. Lastly, traders must achieve a withdrawable profit of at least 20% of their initial account balance.

Example of Scaling Plan

FT+ Account Starting Size (plus the profit you made from the last level) Profit Required To Scale Balance Required For Next Level
Funded Account $25 000 $5 000 $30 000
First scaling $37 500 $7 500 $45 000
Second scaling $50 000 $10 000 $60 000
Third scaling $75 000 $15 000 $90 000
Fourth scaling $100 000 $20 000 $120 000
Fifth scaling $150 000 $30 000 $180 000
Sixth scaling $225 000 $45 000 $270 000
Seventh scaling $337 500 $67 500 $405 000
Eighth scaling $500 000 $100 000 $600 000
Ninth scaling $750 000 $150 000 $900 000
Tenth scaling $1 150 000 $230 000 $1 380 000
Eleventh scaling $1 750 000 $350 000 $2 100 000
Twelfth scaling $2 500 000

Experienced Trader Program, Premium Trader Program and Master Trader Program

In this example, assuming traders do not withdraw, a trader with a simulated balance of $110,000 can ask to scale to $200,000. The trader would have the same amount of simulated profit on the new simulated account balance of $210,000. ($10,000 in this example). The new static maximum simulated loss limit has been changed from $100,000 to $200,000.

In this example, traders need now to make an additional $10,000 of simulated profit to be able to scale on the $200,000 level to scale to the next level of $400,000. The trader would be free to withdraw simulated profit as suits their circumstances and trading risk profile.

Example of Scaling Plan

FT+ Account Starting Size (plus the profit you made from the last level) Balance Required For Next Level Balance Required For Next Level
Funded Account 12 500$ 10% 13 750$
Second scaling 25 000$ 10% 27 500$
Third scaling 50 000$ 10% 55 000$
Fourth scaling 100 000$ 10% 110 000$
