How does the Scaling Program work?

Updated on 2025/10/20

The Scaling Program rewards consistent traders by increasing their funded capital every two months, as long as they remain profitable.


General Rule (applies to all accounts except Jalapeño)

  • Scaling occurs every two months if you achieve at least 10 % profit during that period.

  • Both months must be profitable in a row (for example, +8 % and +3 %).

  • The balance increase is applied to your funded capital, not your initial challenge size.

  • The new balance becomes your starting equity for the next payout cycle.

Example 1 – Eligible for scaling:
June +8 %, July +3 % → ✅ scaled (10 % total, both months profitable)
Example 2 – Not eligible:
June +10 %, July -1.5 % → ❌ not scaled (two profitable months required)
Example 3 – Eligible again:
June -5 %, July +4 %, August +6 % → ✅ scaled (July and August profitable)


Scaling Rates per Program

  • Black Pepper (Hot Seat): balance increases by 50 % every two profitable months.

  • All other programs (Sweet, Chilli, Cayenne, Mini): balance increases by 40 % every two profitable months.

  • Jalapeño (Direct Funded): account doubles (x2) after each 10 % profit, until reaching €1 million.


Scaling Table (simplified)

Program Base Balance 1st Scale 2nd Scale 3rd Scale 4th Scale 5th Scale Max
Sweet Pepper €10K → €150K +40 % every 2 months up to €1M
Chilli Pepper €10K → €75K +40 % every 2 months up to €1M
Cayenne €15K → €120K +40 % every 2 months up to €500K
Mini €6K +40 % every 2 months up to €500K
Black Pepper €300K +50 % every 2 months up to €1M
Jalapeño €1K – €5K ×2 after each +10 % profit up to €1M

Key Notes

  • Scaling reviews occur automatically after each two-month period.

  • Your profit consistency and rule compliance are checked before scaling is applied.

  • Once scaled, all drawdown and profit targets adjust proportionally to the new balance.

  • Scaling continues until your total allocation reaches €1,000,000.
