Secure connectionAuto-Scaling
Position sizing can scale up and down with the account
Forward Edge Futures can be structured to adjust contract size as an account grows or contracts, so the strategy does not stay static while account equity changes. The goal is to let larger accounts participate with more size when conditions allow, while also stepping down more quickly after drawdowns to keep risk aligned with the account.
Conservative
Designed for clients who want slower size increases and faster size reductions. This profile keeps compounding more measured and puts a heavier emphasis on protecting the account during weaker stretches.
Standard
A balanced middle ground for clients who want the account to scale with progress while still respecting a disciplined risk structure. This is meant to combine steady growth participation with controlled reductions when the account pulls back.
Aggressive
Built for clients who want the account to increase size more quickly as equity builds, while still using defined scaling rules rather than discretionary changes. This profile can accelerate growth participation, but it also carries a higher swing profile than the other modes.
How the scaling logic is intended to work
Scaling is meant to move in both directions. As the account earns and reaches higher internal sizing thresholds, contract size can increase. If the account gives back gains or drops below those thresholds, size can also decrease automatically so the strategy is not trading the same size through a smaller equity base. That two-way adjustment is intended to make the growth path more efficient while keeping downside pressure more proportional to the account.
Plan limits work the same way. Your plan may allow the system to go up to a certain size, but real execution is still restricted by the active balance rule, the selected risk profile, and any account-level guardrails applied to that account.
Risk disclosure
Futures trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for every investor. Historical performance does not guarantee future results. Clients are responsible for their own brokerage accounts, risk settings, and trading decisions.
