Scaling Plan

Balance Doubling Milestone: Your account balance doubles (e.g., from $200,000 to $400,000) every time you reach a 10% net profit milestone based on your starting capital.
The Scaling Ladder:

$200,000 → $400,000
$400,000 → $800,000
$800,000 → $1,600,000 (Maximum cap for the Prime series).

The "Infinite" Split: Prime accounts offer the highest profit shares in the industry:
1st Payout: 80% Trader / 20% Firm.
2nd Payout: 90% Trader / 10% Firm.
3rd Payout & Beyond: 100% Trader / 0% Firm (if the 100% split add-on was active or earned).

Static Drawdown Transition: Upon your first successful payout, your trailing drawdown locks permanently at $200,000. It will never move up again, meaning all future profits significantly increase your "cushion."
