How does the scaling plan work?

Updated over a week ago

The maximum virtual capital growth on the Alpha Pro Plan is a cumulative total of $2 million across all scaled accounts. 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To request account scaling, your account must be at the withdrawal stage, and all profits must be withdrawn. This means the account should be reset to its initial balance after the payout has been processed. Please include a note in the 'Reason/Notes' section of the Performance Fee Request indicating 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.
