FTMO's Scaling Plan is a structured framework designed to facilitate the growth of traders who demonstrate proficient management of their FTMO Accounts. Traders under the FTMO Scaling Plan can scale up to a substantial maximum of $2 million per trader, and have the opportunity to earn up to 90% of the profits generated. The plan operates on a structured timeline, with capital increments occurring systematically every four months. A key criterion for scaling is the generation of at least a 10% net profit in four consecutive monthly cycles, averaging a 2.5% net profit per month. The eligibility for scaling up is automatically evaluated with each profit split. To qualify for scaling, traders must process at least two pay-outs within the four-month period. Additionally, at least two pay-outs must be processed within the four-month period, emphasizing consistent performance over time. 

Let's consider a scenario where the trader achieves the following monthly performances. 

Month 1: 2% net profit

Month 2: 3% net profit

Month 3: 3% net profit

Month 4: 3% net profit

In this case, the trader has achieved positive net profits in all four consecutive monthly cycles, averaging 2.5% net profit per month. The cumulative net profit over the four-month period would be 11%, meeting the minimum 10% requirement for scaling.
