The Scaling System is clearly tied to performance and discipline. Accordingly, there are defined conditions you must meet in order to stay in the program and advance through the tiers.
The key points at a glance:
Scaling target: The 18% target must be reached within the respective 3-month period in order for your account to grow by 30%.
Missed target: If you don't hit the target in a given cycle, you keep your account under the standard program rules — but the account increase for that period is forfeited. You'll have another chance in the next 3-month cycle.
Premium tiers: No PineX Trader accounts may be lost during the respective qualification periods (3, 6, or 9 months).
Elite tier: In addition, there must be no rule violations during the entire qualification phase.
This is how PineX ensures that the premium tiers truly remain reserved for traders who demonstrably perform consistently and in compliance with the rules.
