# 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.
