At The Trading Pit, Traders can scale their accounts from initial sizes of up to $100,000 to a substantial $5,000,000. This scale-up journey is marked by the achievement of set profit targets. Every time a trader meets these targets, they not only receive a pay-out but also unlock larger account sizes in the future. For example, the trader’s first milestone may be to achieve a 10% profit on their initial capital. So, they aim to earn $10,000, which would be 10% of their starting amount. Once this target is met, the trader sets a new, higher profit target, and continues this process. Each successful achievement contributes to the gradual growth of the account from $100,000 to $5,000,000. Additionally, traders can start earning from Day 1, with the promise of getting paid the following Friday for every profit target met. This swift turnaround between achieving targets and receiving pay-outs can aid the trading experience.
