The Short Answer
The Scaling Plan lets you grow your existing funded account by 35% every 4 months, up to a maximum of $4,000,000 in managed capital. It's our way of rewarding traders who stay consistent, follow the rules, and deliver results over time.
This isn't about passing another challenge. It's about growing what you've already built.
How It Works
Every 4 months, if you meet the eligibility criteria, your account balance increases by 35%. You keep trading the same account, just with more capital behind you.
Starting with a $100,000 account, you could reach $4,000,000 in about 4 years of consistent performance. No additional fees, no new evaluations, just growth.
Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for a scale-up, you must meet all three conditions within a 4-month period:
15% Cumulative Growth — Your account must grow by at least 15% total over the four months. This is cumulative, so a bad month can be offset by a good one.
Two Payouts — You need to complete at least two successful payouts during the four-month period. This proves you're actively trading and taking profits.
Positive Final Balance — Your account must end the 4-month period in profit. You can't scale up while you're in drawdown.
A Realistic Example
Here's how a 4-month scaling cycle might look with a $100,000 account:
Month 1: You're up 7%. Account sits at $107,000. You take a payout.
Month 2: Rough month, down 2%. Account drops to $98,000. It happens.
Month 3: Strong recovery, up 8%. Account climbs to $105,840. Second payout completed.
Month 4: Steady finish, up 2%. Account ends at $102,000.
Result: 15% cumulative growth, two payouts, positive balance. You qualify for a 35% scale-up. Your new starting balance: $135,000.
Notice that Month 2 was negative. That's fine. What matters is the overall picture across all four months.
The Growth Path
Here's what consistent scaling looks like from $100,000 to the maximum:
$100,000 → $135,000 → $182,250 → $246,037 → $332,150 → $448,403 → $605,344 → $817,214 → $1,103,239 → $1,489,373 → $2,010,653 → $2,714,382 → $3,664,416 → $4,000,000
That's 13 successful scale-ups to reach the cap. At one scale-up every 4 months, you're looking at just over 4 years to go from $100K to $4M.
Eligible Programs
The Scaling Plan is available on all main Upcomers programs: Thunderbolt, Phoenix, Astral, Obsidian, Eon, Ash, Vanguard, and Breakout. The same eligibility criteria apply across all of them.
Common Questions
What if I have a losing month?
Not a problem. The 15% growth requirement is cumulative over four months. One bad month doesn't disqualify you as long as your total growth hits 15% by the end of the period.
How do I apply for a scale-up?
Once you've met all three criteria, send a request to [email protected]. Our team will verify your eligibility and process the scale-up.
Is there a limit to how many times I can scale?
You can keep scaling until you hit the $4,000,000 maximum. After that, you're at the top.
Do I need to wait exactly 4 months?
Yes, the evaluation period is 4 consecutive months. You can't speed it up by hitting 15% faster.
What happens to my profit split after scaling?
Your profit split stays the same. Scaling increases your capital, not your terms.
The Bottom Line
The Scaling Plan is for traders who think long-term. Instead of jumping between challenges, you build on what you have. Stay consistent, follow the rules, and your account grows with you.
$100,000 today. $4,000,000 in four years. That's the path.
