What is account scaling in forex trading?

Account scaling is the process of increasing position sizes or trading capital gradually as profits accumulate. Instead of risking large amounts from the start, traders begin small and expand exposure only when their account grows steadily. Scaling helps build confidence and reduces emotional stress. For example, a trader may start with micro lots, then move to mini lots once they have doubled their account, and eventually trade standard lots. This gradual approach allows consistent compounding while keeping risk under control. Successful scaling requires patience, discipline, and strict adherence to risk management rules to avoid overexposure.
