Definition

Scaling plan

A firm's program for growing a funded account (or split) after consistent profitable periods.

Typical shape: hit a modest profit total over consecutive months and the firm increases your capital allocation (e.g. +25–40%) or your split. Scaling rewards the exact behaviour firms want to fund: steady risk over months.

Scaling terms are also where 'max allocation' lives — the cap on total capital one trader can manage across accounts.
