UWM offers a scaling plan that enables traders to increase their account balance to a scale-up cap of $2 million per trader and the opportunity for continuous increments if the eligibility criteria are met. Capital increases in the account occur every four months. To qualify for an increase, traders are required to generate a minimum net profit of 10% over four consecutive monthly cycles, equivalent to an average of 2.5% per month. Additionally, traders must complete at least two pay-outs within this four-month period. However, the trader’s account balance must be higher than the original balance at the time of scaling up. 

UWM regularly assesses eligibility, providing traders with a report on their status and the necessary criteria with each profit division. Once the criteria are met, traders can choose to approve scaling up their account during the pay-out processing. A larger UWM account will then be assigned for the next trading period. Correspondingly, the calculation method for loss limits will adjust, maintaining a 5% maximum daily loss and 10% maximum loss of the initial account balance after scaling up. If a trader continues to meet the account growth conditions and completes two pay-outs over the next four months, they become eligible for a further increase in demo capital by 25% of the initial UWM account balance. The maximum increase in demo capital per trader is capped at $2 million.
