Firm Rules Summary

Risk Guide

Finotive Funding's $100k account gives you a $4,000 daily loss buffer and $7,500 max drawdown limit. At 1% risk per trade ($1,000), you can handle 4 consecutive losing trades before hitting the daily limit. At 2% risk ($2,000), you're limited to just 2 losing trades. This is where most traders get eliminated - they risk too much and blow the daily limit in a single session. The danger scenario: you take a 2% loss early in the day, then chase with another 2% trade that also fails. You're done for the day at $4,000 loss. For position sizing math, use this formula: Risk Amount ÷ Stop Loss in Pips = Position Size per Pip. EURUSD example: $1,000 ÷ 50 pips = $20 per pip = 2 standard lots. GBPJPY with 40-pip stop: $1,000 ÷ 40 = $25 per pip = 2.5 standard lots. Gold with $20 stop: $1,000 ÷ $20 = 50 units. Always verify your broker's pip values as they vary between instruments. Since this is a single-phase challenge with 0% profit target, you only need to survive without hitting the drawdown limits. No minimum profit requirement means you can focus purely on capital preservation. However, you still need 3 minimum trading days, so plan at least 3 separate trading sessions. The max drawdown tracks your lowest equity point - if your account drops to $92,500 at any time, you're eliminated. This includes both realized and unrealized losses, so manage open positions carefully during news events or volatile sessions. Many traders underestimate how quickly small losses compound. Three 1.5% losses equal $4,500, exceeding your daily limit. Stick to 1% risk maximum, and consider 0.5% during high-impact news. Your position sizes should never exceed what allows you to lose $1,000 on your predetermined stop loss.
