# Account Scaling

Our scaling plans reward consistent performance by increasing your account size over time. Scaling rules differ depending on your account type.

### 1-Step and 2-Step FX Plans

In 1-step and 2-step plans, after every 4th payout of at least 1% profit, your FX funded account receives an additional 10% of your base account size in funding.

The maximum scale is **$200,000** or **5 times your initial account size**, whichever is reached first.

**Example 1:**\
A **$100,000** funded account receives a **10% increase** after the 4th payout, bringing the account to **$110,000**. After the 8th payout, it scales to **$120,000**, and so on.

**Example 2:**\
A **$150,000** funded account scales to **$165,000** after the 4th payout and to **$180,000** after the 8th payout. Scaling stops at **$195,000** if the 5x limit is reached before the $200,000 cap.

### Instant Funded Plans

For every **5% profit achieved**, your Instant Plan account becomes eligible for a **$1,000 account balance increase**.

This increase is applied at the **start of the next payout cycle**. Scaling milestones can be reached at any time, including after the first payout cycle, allowing the account to scale in **$1,000 increments** up to **$10,000**.

**Example:**\
A **$1,000** funded Instant Plan account that gains **5% profit** and requests a payout becomes eligible for a **$1,000 increase** in the next cycle, bringing the account balance to **$2,000**. This can continue in $1,000 increments up to a maximum of **$10,000**.

### Futures Plans

Futures accounts do **not** have a scaling plan.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.tradersyard.com/traderchallenge/account-scaling.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
