Micros vs minis
10 micros = 1 mini. Your max contracts are the total across all instruments and open positions, so on a 10-contract account, 5 NQ + 50 MNQ is the full limit. Orders beyond it are rejected, and any deliberate attempt(s) to circumvent limits will breach your account.
Commissions
Per contract, round turn. These rates apply to every simulated account (evaluations, Pro, S2F and S2L); live rates are confirmed by your Risk Manager. Your profit target is net of commissions and all costs.
