We are firm believers here at Alpha Futures in “earn your large positions”. There is a time and place to size up as a trader, no doubt, but you should only begin doing it once you have built up some profit on your account. The Scaling Plan ensures you do not over leverage the account, and increase your buying power as the account grows.

There is no Scaling Plan on Advanced Accounts.
