Their scaling plan seems reasonable, but the initial capital is lower than some competitors. Is it worth the slower scale, or better to go with a firm that offers higher starting capital even if the scaling is more aggressive? Particularly for someone aiming for 6-figure accounts.
For 6-figure accounts, you're right to consider the initial capital. Have you looked at firms with direct funding options or higher base payouts? The time saved getting to your target capital could outweigh the perceived 'safety' of a slower scaling plan.
It really depends on your win rate and consistency. If you're consistently profitable, a quicker scaling firm makes sense. If you're still refining your edge, OneUp's approach could be less stressful.
I'd argue the 'slower scale' with OneUp might actually be beneficial. It forces more disciplined trading, which is key before managing larger capital. Rushing to a huge account can be a recipe for disaster if your risk management isn't rock solid.
