How does the scaling plan work?

Updated over a week ago

The maximum virtual capital growth on the Alpha Pro Plan is $2 million. Traders who achieve a 10% virtual capital growth on their trading account can request scaling. The scaling amount will be 10% of the initial account balance, allowing the trader to request performance fees and scale simultaneously.


Requesting a Scale up with Alpha Capital Group

To request account scaling your account must be at the withdrawal stage. Kindly add to the 'Reason/Notes' section of the Performance Fee Request that you would like to join the scaling plan and scale up your account.

Additionally, please send an email to [email protected] explicitly stating your request for a scale-up of the account.

Please allow a timeframe of 24-48 business hours for the completion of this request. If you have any further inquiries or require assistance during this period, feel free to contact our support team at [email protected]. We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring a smooth and efficient process.

Please note that your new scaled account requires a minimum of 5 trading days before the first Performance Fee is applicable.


Please refer to the scaling plan diagram below for a visual representation and further clarity.

To scale the account, each time there must be a 10% gain achieved of the account balance, at the time of requesting scaling, the 10% gain must be present in the account (previous withdrawals are not counted)


Example

Example 1)
Starting Virtual Capital Balance $100,000
Max Drawdown - $10,000

Gain: 10% ($10,000)
Current Virtual Capital Balance: $110,000

You may request scaling of the account & your performance fee of 80%

On the First Scale you will not receive any Max Lot Size increase.

This means you will be paid $8,000 + you new starting account balance will be $110,000.

Scale 2:
Starting Virtual Capital balance - $110,000
Max Drawdown - $11,000
Gain 10% of Initial Virtual Account Balance ($10,000)
Current Virtual Capital Balance: $120,000

You may request scaling of the account & your performance fee of 80%

On the Second Scale you are eligible for a Max Lot Size increase of 10%.

For example

First Scale of 100k Initial Virtual Capital Account Balance

Account Balance - $110k (Max Lot Size 40)

Second Scale of your 100k initial Virtual Capital Account Balance

Account Balance - $120k (Max Lot Size 44)



This means your performance fee will be $8,000 + you new starting virtual capital account balance will be $120,000.
