OmbraScaling plans: contract limits that grow with profit
A scaling plan limits how many contracts you can hold until your account has built up some profit. You start with a smaller allowance and unlock more as the balance grows.
Example: 2 minis to start, 3 once you are $1,000 above your starting balance, 4 at $2,000, and so on. Micros are usually counted as a share of a mini, often 10 micros to 1 mini.
Steps can be checked at different times. Some firms move you up only at the end of the day, from your closing balance. Some move you down again straight away if the balance falls.
Breaking a scaling plan is often treated differently from a drawdown breach: sometimes a warning, sometimes the trade's profit is removed, sometimes the account closes. Read which applies.
Plan your size to the step you are on, not the account's headline maximum. Early in a funded account the smaller size also keeps you further from the drawdown floor.
You can practise at a fixed size, with live drawdown and daily loss meters, in Ombra's free futures practice.
