How to Scale Up from a $10k to a $100k Account

Most traders think scaling up is about increasing their position size. That’s actually one of the fastest ways to blow up.

Here’s the correct way to grow from a small account to a large one.

The Right Way to Scale Your Account

1. Master consistency first Prove you can be profitable for at least 3–6 months before increasing size.
2. Scale your risk slowly Only increase risk after a long period of consistent results, not after a few big wins.
3. Focus on percentage returns, not dollar returns A 5% return on a $10k account is more important than a 5% return on a $100k account.
4. Keep the same rules at every level Don’t change your strategy or risk rules just because your account is bigger.

Key Principle: Scale your account based on your proven skill level, not based on how much money you want to make.
