The Trading Pit (CFD) Prime Mode Scaling Plan
The account balance will be increased by 25% upon meeting the following conditions:
- Account is active for at least 2 months
- Receive at least 2 payouts
- Accumulate a total profit of at least 10% on initial balance
(Example 1)
If the initial account balance is $100,000, the first four scale-ups will each receive $25,000.
From the 5th to the 8th scale-up, based on the new account balance of $200,000, each increase will be $50,000.
Continue to meet the above targets and scale up to $2,000,000.
(Example 2)
Mr. Wang received a $100,000 CFD account. He passed the challenge and received his funded account. Two weeks later, after trading for 8 days, the account balance increased to $104,500. Since he met the following conditions, Mr. Wang decided to withdraw:
- 14 days have passed since his first trade
- At least 5 trading days
- Profits exceeding $100
Three months later, Mr. Wang received four payments totaling $15,000. This made him eligible to request an account balance increase because:
- He has been trading in the same account for two months
- Achieved a total profit of over 10%
- Received more than two payments

Risk Warning:
Forex and Contract for Difference (CFD) margin trading carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for everyone. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade forex and CFDs, you should carefully consider your trading objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. You may sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment. You should be aware of all the risks associated with forex and CFD trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
Please note that before deciding to purchase any retail proprietary trading firm challenge, you should carefully consider the company's challenge trading objectives, drawdown risks, and various rules. You may lose part or all of your initial funds used to purchase the challenge account.
