Funded accounts start with reduced contract limits that increase as your equity grows. This article covers how scaling works and the limits for each account size.
How Scaling Works
Contract limits on funded accounts are based on your EOD equity gain — the profit above your starting funded account balance.
Limits update at end of day. If you cross a threshold mid-session, the new limit takes effect the next trading day.
Exceeding your current tier's contract limit is an immediate account violation.
Evaluation — Full Limits Apply
During evaluation there are no scaling restrictions. You have access to the full contract limits for your account size from day one.
Account | Eval Contract Limit |
$25,000 | 1 mini / 10 micros |
$50,000 | 4 minis / 40 micros |
$100,000 | 8 minis / 80 micros |
$150,000 | 12 minis / 120 micros |
$25,000 Account — Flat Limit
The $25,000 account has no scaling tiers. The contract limit is fixed at 1 mini / 10 micros throughout the funded account.
