Example:
The 5%ers offer a scaling plan for traders with account balances reaching up to $4 million. This plan is distinctive for its combination of account doubling at every milestone, the ability to withdraw profits regularly, and a profit split with bonuses. Traders can double their account size every time they achieve a 10% profit margin. This scaling opportunity extends up to a maximum account size of $4 million. In addition, traders keep 100% of the profits they make, with the added benefit of withdrawing these profits starting from the first achieved objective. For instance, a trader starts with an account balance of $50,000 and results in a 10% profit, which amounts to $5,000. The firm recognizes this milestone by doubling the trader’s account balance to $100,000. If they replicate their success and earn another 10% profit, this time $10,000, their account doubles to $200,000, and once again, the entire profit is theirs to keep. This cycle of earning a 10% profit and scaling up can continue until the ultimate goal of managing a $4 million account. Additionally, the plan features a 14-day pay-out cycle, which is reset each time an account is scaled up. While profit pay-outs reset the account balance to its initial amount, they do not affect the scaling milestone target, ensuring continuous progress toward the trader’s goals.
The programs that offer scaling opportunities are detailed as follows:
Hyper-Growth Program: Aimed at experienced traders or those with proven consistency, this flagship 1-step program rewards traders by doubling their accounts at each consistency milestone.
High Stakes Program: Designed for traders who prefer higher leverage or have aggressive strategies, this 2-step program offers risk and reward opportunities, ideal for high stakes traders.
Bootcamp Program: Suited for traders still seeking consistency in the market, this low-cost program is a stepping stone towards future funding without requiring the full fee upfront.
