Scaling Plan

Scaling in Alpha Capital Funding is very easy, Traders can request their account to be scaled up as soon as they reach a total of 10% profit in their funded account.

For the first time scaling, account size will only increase by 10% of the initial balance and in the second time scaling, account will again get a 10% increase based on the initial balance and max lot size will also be increased.

With this approach, Traders will be able to scale up their capital up to $2,000,000.
