To promote responsible trading and minimize high-risk behavior, we’ve adopted a maximum lot size rule across all challenge types—Pro, Flex, and 1 Phase.
This rule ensures traders maintain sustainable exposure based on their account size and asset class, effective August 1st, 2024.
📊 Maximum Lot Size by Account
Account Size | Commodities & Metals | Indices (1 contract) | Crypto | Forex |
$5,000 | 0.30 lots | 3.00 lots | 0.10 lots | 1.00 lots |
$10,000 | 0.60 lots | 6.00 lots | 0.20 lots | 2.00 lots |
$25,000 | 1.60 lots | 16.00 lots | 0.50 lots | 4.00 lots |
$50,000 | 3.00 lots | 30.00 lots | 1.00 lots | 8.00 lots |
$100,000 | 6.00 lots | 60.00 lots | 2.00 lots | 16.00 lots |
$200,000 | 13.00 lots | 130.00 lots | 4.00 lots | 32.00 lots |
$300,000 | 19.00 lots | 190.00 lots | 6.00 lots | 50.00 lots |
🔒 Note: Please note that the above limits are based on account sizes. Utilizing an account with double leverage will not increase the exposure limit for your account size. Do note that the exposure limits are evaluated on gross exposure per asset/symbol being traded.
🔍 Symbol-Level Application
Lot limits apply per symbol, not per asset class.
For example, with a $5,000 account:
You may open 0.30 lots on Gold and still 0.30 lots on Silver, since they are separate symbols.
🔁 Merged & Custom Account Sizes
If your balance exceeds $300,000 via merged accounts or custom tiers:
Your lot limit will be the sum of the corresponding limits.
Example: A $500K account (from $200K + $300K) would use combined lot caps from both tiers.
