Futures trading uses margin — a good-faith deposit to control a contract — set by the exchange (CME) and applied through the platform.
On MILTRADERS, you trade with simulated capital, so margin requirements work as a position-sizing constraint rather than a real cash deposit. The maximum number of contracts you can hold at any time is defined by your account size:
50K account: 4 Mini contracts max
100K account: 8 Mini contracts max
150K account: 12 Mini contracts max (10 Mini for Instant 150K)
These limits apply across all your open positions combined. Micro contracts also count toward the limit (10 Micros = 1 Mini).
Standard CME intraday margins are reflected on the Volumetrica platform. Exceeding allowed contract sizes will result in order rejection or automatic position reduction.
