🧭 How it works
Your contract limit is based on your account balance above starting balance (your net profit). As your profit grows, you unlock more contracts. Once your profit fully covers your trailing drawdown, you unlock full size.

Tiers are based on your net profit (balance above your starting balance), calculated on your end-of-day balance. Intraday profits do not raise your limit mid-session.
Minis and micros count equally toward this limit: 1 micro = 1 contract.
❓ Frequently asked questions
When does my tier update?
Tiers are calculated on your end-of-day balance and apply from the next trading session. Intraday profits do not change your limit mid-session.
What happens after a payout?
Your tier follows your current balance. After a withdrawal, your balance decreases, so your contract limit adjusts down accordingly. It grows back as you rebuild profit.
Do micro contracts count separately?
No. A micro contract counts exactly the same as a mini toward your limit (1 micro = 1 contract). At a 5-contract tier you can hold 5 minis, 5 micros, or any mix that totals 5.
Why a progression ladder?
It enforces sound risk management: size scales with your proven cushion, not with hope. It is how professional trading desks allocate size, and it is why our traders keep their funded accounts longer.
Is the ladder the same during the evaluation?
No. During the evaluation you have your full plan limit (5 / 10 / 15 contracts). The ladder applies to funded accounts only.
