Scaling Plan

Balance Doubling Milestone: Your account balance doubles (e.g., from $25,000 to $50,000) every time you achieve a 10% net profit milestone on your starting capital.
The Doubling Progression:

$25,000 → $50,000
$50,000 → $100,000
$100,000 → $200,000

Maximum Ceiling: You can continue this process until the account reaches $1,280,000.
Profit Split Progression: Prime accounts reward consistency with a rapid increase in your share of the gains:
1st Withdrawal: 70% Trader / 30% Firm (Higher starting point than standard).
2nd Withdrawal: 80% Trader / 20% Firm.
3rd Withdrawal & Beyond: 90% Trader / 10% Firm.

Locked Drawdown Benefit: Once you scale or take your first payout, the trailing drawdown permanently locks at $25,000. This effectively turns your "risk floor" into a static one, allowing you to build a massive safety buffer with your profits.
