Risk Guide

The math on a $100k Funded Trading Plus account is unforgiving. Your $4,000 daily loss limit means 4 consecutive losses at 1% risk ($1,000 each) will breach you, while 2% risk per trade ($2,000) gives you only 2 losing trades before you're out. This is where most traders fail - they think they have room to breathe, but four bad trades in a single session ends your challenge. The danger scenario: You risk 1.5% ($1,500) per trade thinking you're being conservative. After two losses, you're down $3,000 with only $1,000 buffer remaining. One more standard loss breaches your daily limit. Most traders panic here and either stop trading or reduce position sizes so drastically they can't hit the $10,000 profit target efficiently. For position sizing, your 1% risk ($1,000) translates differently across instruments. EURUSD with 30-pip stop: 3.33 lots. GBPJPY with 50-pip stop: 2 lots. Gold with $20 stop: 5 lots. US30 with 100-point stop: 1 lot. These calculations assume standard pip values, but always verify with your platform since spreads and exact pip values vary. The psychological trap is real at this account size. Traders see $100,000 and feel wealthy, taking larger risks than they would on a $10k account. But your risk parameters are identical percentage-wise. The $6,000 max drawdown (6%) gives you more breathing room than the daily limit, but hit that $4,000 daily loss even once and you're restarting. Between challenge and funded phases, your risk management shouldn't change. The same 1% risk rule that gets you through the $10,000 profit target keeps you profitable when live. Most funded traders who blow accounts increase position sizes thinking they've 'made it' - stick to the math that worked initially.
