Upon attaining funded trader status, additional funding is granted based on performance. At each funding stage, a milestone target of 10% is set. Once this target is reached, all open positions must be closed, and the account will be advanced to the next level. Below is the full list of possible progression stages on the High-stakes platform.

Bootcamp

Individuals purchasing starter accounts begin with the following parameters: the maximum loss is 4%, the profit target for scaling is 5%, and the payout ratio is 50/50. Once a profit is achieved, the account is scaled according to the table, and the payout ratio increases to 75/25. Accounts can then be scaled up to 4 million dollars. At the 2 million dollar level, the payout ratio rises to 80/20, and at 2.5 million dollars, it reaches 100/0.

After scaling the account, the waiting period for payouts resets to 14 days.
