What are the exact requirements to scale an FTMO Account?

To qualify for the FTMO Scaling Plan, you must generate at least 10% total net profit across 4 consecutive monthly cycles (an average of 2.5% per month), process at least 2 profit split payouts during those 4 months, and finish the 4th cycle with a positive account balance above your starting capital.

How much does FTMO increase your balance at each scale-up?

FTMO increases your funded account balance by 25% of the initial starting account size at every qualifying 4-month review, up to a maximum capital ceiling of $2,000,000 per trader.

Does FTMO increase your profit split when you scale?

Yes. Upon your very first successful scale-up, your FTMO profit split automatically increases from 80% to 90% on all future payouts.

How the FTMO $2,000,000 Scaling Plan Works

FTMO allows traders to merge up to $400,000 in initial funded FTMO Accounts and grow that allocation by 25% of the initial balance every 4 months up to $2,000,000, while upgrading the profit split from 80% to 90% on the first scale-up.

Scaling Parameter	Official FTMO Specification
Max Initial Merged Allocation	$400,000
Max Scaled Capital Ceiling	$2,000,000
Review Interval	Every 4 consecutive monthly cycles
Required Net Profit	≥ 10% net profit across the 4 months (2.5% average/month)
Balance Increase Per Scale	+25% of initial account balance

Example FTMO Scaling Progression ($400,000 Merged Account)

Because FTMO calculates the +25% increment from your initial starting balance ($100,000 per 4-month milestone on a $400,000 base account), here is how a $400,000 FTMO Account progresses toward the $2,000,000 cap:

Milestone	Account Balance	Daily Loss Limit (5%)	Max Loss Limit (10%)	Profit Split
Initial Funded	$400,000	$20,000	$40,000	80%
Scale-Up #1 (Month 4)	$500,000 (+$100K)	$25,000	$50,000	90%
Scale-Up #2 (Month 8)	$600,000 (+$100K)	$30,000	$60,000	90%
Scale-Up #3 (Month 12)	$700,000 (+$100K)	$35,000	$70,000	90%
