On a Zero funded account, your maximum contract size grows with the simulated profit in your account. It updates at the end of each session — never in real-time during the day — and adjusts back down after a payout, since a payout reduces your balance. There is no scaling during the challenge phase.
Simulated Profits | 50K | 100K | 150K |
$0 – $999 | 2 / 20 | 3 / 30 | 4 / 40 |
$1,000 – $1,999 | 3 / 30 | 4 / 40 | 5 / 50 |
$2,000 – $2,999 | 4 / 40 (max) | 5 / 50 | 6 / 60 |
$3,000+ | — | 6 / 60 (max) | 8 / 80 (max) |
Values shown as mini / micro contracts. Micros count as 1/10th of a mini.
Pro and Instant
Pro and Instant accounts have no scaling plan. Your maximum contract size is fixed and identical in the challenge and funded phases: Pro 4 / 8 / 12 minis, Instant 4 / 8 / 10 minis (50K / 100K / 150K).
