Contract Scaling Plans (Funded Accounts Only)
Scaling applies only to funded accounts. There are no scaling restrictions during the evaluation phase, where you can use your full contract allocation from day one.
How Scaling Works
Once your account is funded, your maximum contract size increases as your account grows. Your allowed contract size is determined by your end-of-day (EOD) closing balance and updates once per day.
Key Principles
- Scaling applies only to funded accounts
- Contract limits update once per day (EOD)
- Scaling is based on simulated profits
- Traders must stay within their allowed contract size at all times
- Intraday profits do not unlock higher tiers. Only end-of-day results count
- Contract increases apply the following trading day once your closing balance qualifies

Important Clarifications on Scaling
- Scaling applies per individual account
- Contract limits do not combine across multiple accounts
- Scaling is based on simulated profit only
- Limits are determined using your end-of-day balance
- Scaling does not override other risk rules, such as the Daily Loss Limit or the Trailing Drawdown
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.
You can trade minis, micros, or a combination of both, as long as you stay within your limit.
Example: on a $50,000 Elite ACCESS funded account at full allocation, you can trade up to 3 minis, 30 micros, or a combination such as 2 minis and 10 micros.
⚠️ Always check the table for your specific account type. Contract limits are not the same across all programs. A $50,000 S2F Sim Pro account allows 4 minis, while a $50,000 Elite or Instant Sim Funded account allows 3 minis.
Staying within these limits helps manage risk and keep your account compliant. It is the trader's personal responsibility to monitor and follow the clearly outlined contract scaling rules.
Exceeding Your Contract Limit
Exceeding your allowed contract limit is considered a rule violation.
If the contract scaling rules are not followed:
- Trades may be rejected or reduced
- The account may be flagged for review
- Profits generated while exceeding contract limits may be removed
- Payout requests may be deemed ineligible
Compliance with scaling rules is mandatory for payout eligibility.
⚠️ 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):
- $25,000 account – Max 1 Micro Bitcoin contract
- $50,000 account – Max 3 Micro Bitcoin contracts, depending on account type
- $100,000 account – Max 5 Micro Bitcoin contracts, depending on account type
- $150,000 account – Max 7 Micro Bitcoin contracts, depending on account type
These limits are in place to better protect traders from the rapid price swings and amplified risk that come with trading crypto derivatives.
