FundingTraders offers a really easy scaling plan for their traders who make consistent profit. There are few conditions which traders have to follow-

1. The account must be at least 2 months old.
2. Trader must have to make at least 8% profit in total in the span of 2 months
3. Both of these 2 months will have to be profitable.

Meeting these conditions will make the trader eligible for scaling up and the account size will increase by 25% and keep increasing based on each 2 months of consistent profit.
