An 'FT+ Simulated-Live' account holder can request to have their account scaled to a higher balance. This allows the trader the benefit of an increased balance, which gives the trader more buying power.
For a request to be authorised, the account must have made the profit amount listed on the scaling table for that program.
Here is an example of a scaling program that is based on 10% profit levels:
| FT+ Simulated-Live Accounts Size | Profit Required To Scale | Minimum Generated Profit at level |

Note: We may, from time to time, deem that a trader already has an appropriate amount of buying power and as such we reserve the right to not scale an account at our sole discretion.
Please note, that all scaling requirements and rules are different for each program, and you should read the appropriate website page, or help center page, for your chosen program.
Also note, as explained on each of those pages, all scaling requests are subject to our normal Risk Review Policy to ensure that those who request to scale are demonstrating the highest standards in terms of risk management within their account history.
