At FundedSquad, we reward consistency. The 1 Step model is designed to give traders who perform well over time greater flexibility through an increasing daily drawdown limit — the longer you trade consistently, the more room you get to manage your positions.
The 1 Step model does not scale your account size. Your account balance stays the same — what grows over time is your daily drawdown limit, giving you more flexibility as a consistent trader.
How the Scaling Plan Works
Your daily drawdown limit increases automatically at key milestones based on how long you have been trading consistently on your funded account. Here is the full schedule:
What Is the Daily Drawdown Limit?
The daily drawdown limit is the maximum amount your account balance can drop within a single trading day before your account is breached. A higher daily drawdown limit means you have more room to manage open trades and recover from short-term losses within the same day.
For example:
• On a $10,000 account with a 3% daily drawdown limit — you can lose a maximum of $300 in a day
• After 3 months of consistent trading, your limit increases to 4% — meaning you can lose up to $400 in a day before a breach
