The Scaling Plan: How to Grow Your Funded Account Over Time

One of the most powerful features of trading with Funded With Futures is the ability to scale your account over time. You don't have to start big — you just have to start consistent.

How Scaling Works

After you've been funded and maintained consistent profitability, you become eligible for account increases. The scaling plan rewards traders who demonstrate sustained performance.

Scaling Milestones

  • Level 1 ($25K): Starting funded account after passing the 25K evaluation
  • Level 2 ($50K): After 60 days of profitable trading with no rule violations
  • Level 3 ($100K): After maintaining Level 2 performance for an additional 90 days
  • Level 4 ($150K+): By invitation, based on exceptional track record

What Scaling Means in Practice

Each level increase means higher position size limits and more profit potential. A trader who starts at $25K and scales to $100K has 4x the earning potential while maintaining the same risk management principles they used from day one.

Tips for Scaling Successfully

Don't change your strategy. The approach that got you funded is the approach that will scale. Resist the urge to take on more risk just because you have a bigger account.

Increase position size gradually. When you move from $25K to $50K, don't immediately double your contracts. Add one contract at a time and let your confidence catch up.

Keep journaling. The habits that got you to Level 1 are the habits that will get you to Level 4.

The Long Game

Most traders think about trading in terms of days and weeks. Scaling is a months-and-years game. A trader making $200/day on a $25K account is earning $4,000/month. Scale that to $100K and $800/day, and you're at $16,000/month. Consistency compounds.
