The maximum virtual capital growth on the Alpha Plans is a cumulative total of $2 million across all scaled accounts. Traders who achieve 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.
Eligible Plans
The following plans are eligible for scaling:
Alpha Pro
Alpha Swing
Alpha Three
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To request account scaling, your account must be at the withdrawal stage and all profits must be withdrawn.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.
In the 'Reason/Notes' section of the Performance Fee Request, indicate that you would like to join the scaling plan and scale up your account.
Additionally, send an email to [email protected] explicitly stating your request to scale up the account.
Please allow 24–48 business hours for this request to be completed. Please also note that your new scaled account requires a minimum of 5 trading days before the first performance fee is applicable.
To scale the account, a 10% gain on the account balance must be achieved each time. At the time of requesting scaling, the 10% gain must be present in the account (previous withdrawals are not counted). Please refer to the scaling plan diagram below for a visual representation and further clarity.
Example
Scale 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 and 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, and your new starting account balance will be $110,000.
Scale 2
Starting Virtual Capital Balance: $110,000
Max Drawdown: $11,000
Gain: 10% of the initial virtual account balance ($10,000)
Current Virtual Capital Balance: $120,000
You may request scaling of the account and 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 a 100k initial Virtual Capital account balance: $110k (Max Lot Size 40)
Second scale of your 100k initial Virtual Capital account balance: $120k (Max Lot Size 44)
This means your performance fee will be $8,000, and your new starting virtual capital account balance will be $120,000.
Note: accounts under the Risk Management Group need to be moved back to normal leverage before they can participate in our scaling plan or be merged.
