At Top One Futures, here’s what you need to know about the maximum allowed contracts for each account size.
Maximum Allowed Contracts
What Does "Max Contracts" Mean?
The "max contracts" rule ensures you trade within safe limits for your account. Minis are standard futures contracts, while micros are one-tenth the size of minis. For example, if you have a $50,000 account, you can trade up to 5 minis, 50 micros, or a combination (e.g., 2 minis and 30 micros).
Staying within these limits helps manage risk and keep your account compliant.
⚠️ Special Note on Micro Bitcoin Futures (MBT):
Due to the significantly higher volatility and leverage associated with cryptocurrency futures, we have implemented separate max contract limits specifically for Micro Bitcoin Futures (MBT):
$50,000 account – Max 5 Micro Bitcoin contracts
$100,000 account – Max 10 Micro Bitcoin contracts
$150,000 account – Max 15 Micro Bitcoin contracts
These limits are in place to better protect traders from the rapid price swings and amplified risk that come with trading crypto derivatives.
