Risk Guide

On this $25k Crypto Fund Trader account, you can afford exactly 4 losing trades at 1% risk ($250 each) before hitting the $1,000 daily limit, or just 2 losing trades at 2% risk ($500 each). The real danger here is aggressive position sizing - take a 3% risk trade ($750) and you're one additional 1% loss away from breaching for the day. The math is straightforward but critical. At 1% risk: forex majors like EURUSD allow roughly 0.83 lots per 30-pip stop (USD 250 ÷ 300 pip value), 1.67 lots per 15-pip stop. Gold with a $20 stop lets you trade 12.5 ounces ($250 ÷ $20). Indices like NAS100 with a 50-point stop means 0.5 lots ($250 ÷ 500 point value). At 2% risk, double everything: 1.67 lots EURUSD with 30-pip stops, 25 ounces gold with $20 stops, 1 lot NAS100 with 50-point stops. But remember - just two consecutive losses at 2% risk burns your entire daily allowance. The 6% max drawdown ($1,500) creates additional pressure. If you're down $800 in unrealized losses, your effective daily limit drops to just $200, forcing micro-positions until you recover. This is where most traders fail - they don't adjust position size based on current drawdown. Since this is a single-phase challenge with no minimum trading days, you can be selective. Unlike firms requiring daily activity, you can wait for A+ setups. The $240 challenge fee and $2,500 profit target (10%) mean you need disciplined risk management - there's no second phase to recover from major mistakes. Your position size should decrease as you approach the max drawdown limit, not stay static.
