Clear scaling: how your size grows

On a funded Clear account, your maximum contract size grows as you bank profit. You start below your tier maximum and step up through bands until you reach it.

This applies to funded accounts only. During the evaluation you trade your full tier maximum from the first trade — scaling isn't part of the evaluation.

The bands

Your maximum size is set by your simulated profit on the account:

Bold marks the point where each size reaches its tier maximum and stops growing. One mini equals 10 micros, and the two count together toward the same limit.

So a $25K account is at full size once it's banked $1,000 of profit; a $150K account keeps scaling until $4,500.

Two things that catch people out

It updates at the end of the session

Crossing a profit threshold doesn't raise your size immediately. The new limit applies from the end of the session in which you crossed it. If you bank the profit that takes you into a new band at 11am, you're still on the old limit for the rest of that day.

A payout steps it back down

Your band is based on your current profit, so when a payout is deducted from your balance, your maximum size steps back down to match.

Plan for this before you request: if you're near the top of a band, a payout may drop you into the one below. Your dashboard always shows your current maximum.

Why Clear works this way

Scaling is the counterweight to having no daily loss limit. Rather than capping what you can lose in a day, Clear starts you smaller and lets your size grow as you demonstrate profit — so early mistakes are made at a smaller size, and the account earns its way up to full capacity.

If you'd rather have full size immediately

Prime gives you your tier maximum from the first trade in both phases, with a daily loss limit instead of scaling. See Prime vs Clear: which package is right for you.
