Once you’re in a Live Funded Account (LFA), you can scale up your position size and risk limits based on account growth. This is designed to reward responsible trading and give high-performing traders more flexibility over time.
How Scaling Works
As your Live Funded Account grows, so does your access to trading size–within clearly defined risk limits.
Maxi Position Size Scaling:
For every $1,000 of balance consistently maintained in your Live Funded Account (LFA), you may request an increase of 1 additional standard contract to your position size limit. This means that if your balance grows from $3,000 to $6,000 and holds that level, you can request to raise your maximum allowable contracts from, for example, 5 to 8—assuming your starting size was 5.Daily Loss Limit Scaling:
The Daily Loss Limit can be scaled upward as your account grows, but it will never exceed 25% of your total account balance. This 25% figure represents the absolute maximum allowed under any circumstances—not a target. In most cases, we will maintain a much tighter daily loss limit to encourage responsible risk management and protect account stability. This cap ensures that no single day of trading exposes the account to excessive risk, even as you scale up.
Limits to Scaling:
At this time, the maximum position size supported is 50 contracts. This cap helps ensure stable execution and proper risk management as accounts grow. Traders who reach this level and show ongoing consistency and professional risk management may explore additional options with us, including custom arrangements or advanced account structures, subject to brokerage capabilities and approval.
Eligibility and Adjustments
All scaling adjustments are made at Purdia Capital’s discretion and are evaluated carefully on a case-by-case basis. Simply reaching a higher balance is not enough—what matters most is how that balance was achieved.
We look for consistent, responsible account performance over time. Specifically, our risk managers look at:
Controlled risk – Maintaining drawdown discipline and avoiding oversized losses across trading sessions.
Stable trade sizing – Using consistent position sizes that align with account balance and market conditions.
Disciplined execution – Following a clear trading plan without impulsive entries or emotionally driven decisions.
Isolated equity spikes or high-risk behavior will not qualify for increased risk parameters. Our goal is to scale accounts that demonstrate long-term sustainability and sound risk management, not short-term volatility.
Important points to note:
Scaling is not automatic. You must request increases through your assigned Risk Manager.
If your account balance drops, your contract size and Daily Loss Limit may be readjusted downward to reflect appropriate risk levels.
Scaling can go both directions—growth unlocks more opportunity, but equity drawdowns result in tighter limits, in order to protect your account and ensure your long-term success.
Key Points to Remember
Only balances that are consistently maintained—not briefly reached during volatile trading—will be considered for scaling eligibility. We prioritize steady growth and account stability over short-lived equity spikes.
Risk parameters are assessed holistically, including trade history, volatility, and behavior around news events.
Purdia reserves the right to deny or delay scaling requests if we believe the risk profile is not appropriate for larger size.
Conclusion
The Scaling Plan is designed to reward consistency, not just big days. If you demonstrate control and grow your Live Funded Account over time, you’ll earn greater flexibility and larger potential payouts. But that flexibility comes with responsibility—every adjustment is made with risk management in mind.
