Scaling plans vary dramatically. Lux Trading Firm offers scaling up to $10M — the industry maximum. The 5%ers and FundedNext scale to $4M. FTMO caps at $400K. Scaling typically requires consistent monthly profits over 3-6 months, staying within drawdown limits, and meeting minimum trading day requirements.
