Scaling Plan

The5%ers Hyper Growth program uses a performance-based scaling model where traders can increase their account size by 100% each time they achieve a 10% profit target.

Scaling milestone: +10% profit from the initial balance
Scaling increase: Account size is doubled (e.g., $100,000 → $200,000)

There is no minimum number of trading days required to qualify for scaling. Traders can reach the 10% target at any pace, as long as risk management rules are respected.

After reaching the profit milestone, scaling is not automatic — traders must request scaling, and the account is reviewed to ensure compliance with all trading rules.

The process can be repeated multiple times, allowing traders to scale accounts up to very large capital allocations over time.

Profit split remains active during scaling, and payouts can still be requested before or after scaling milestones are reached.

Example: A trader starting with a $100,000 account who reaches a 10% profit ($10,000) becomes eligible to scale to $200,000. Repeating this process allows exponential account growth over time.

Important: Scaling approval is not instant. Accounts are reviewed before being upgraded, and any rule violations or inconsistent trading behavior may delay or prevent scaling.
