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.
