What Is Scale-In and How Does It Work?
Understand how PipsCrusher automatically adds to winning trades — and how the built-in safeguards ensure the added position never puts you at a net loss.
Scale-In is a feature that lets PipsCrusher automatically open a second position when an existing trade is already winning. The logic is simple: if the market has confirmed the direction of your original trade, adding to it can significantly increase your profit on that move.
When does it trigger? A scale-in position is opened automatically when your existing trade reaches 50% of its take-profit distance. For example, if your take-profit is 80 pips away from entry, a scale-in fires when the trade is up 40 pips.
What exactly happens at that moment?
The result is that once scale-in triggers, your worst-case outcome on both positions combined is breaking even — but your best-case outcome is roughly double the profit of the original trade alone.
Is it risky? The design specifically avoids adding net downside risk. Because the stop loss on the added position is anchored to the original trade's break-even, you are not taking on meaningful additional exposure. The only scenario where scale-in reduces your outcome compared to not using it is if the market turns around exactly at the trigger point — in which case you still exit at approximately break-even overall.
How to enable it: Go to Settings → EA Configuration on your dashboard. Toggle on "Scale-In". It applies to all future trade signals from that point.
