Firm Rules Summary

Risk Guide

With your $400 daily loss limit, you can handle exactly 4 losing trades at 1% risk ($100 each) or just 2 losing trades at 2% risk ($200 each) before hitting the breach threshold. The danger scenario for 10k accounts is deceptively simple: two bad 2% trades in one session and you're done. This happens faster than most traders expect, especially during volatile sessions like NFP or FOMC. For position sizing math on major pairs: EURUSD with 30-pip stop allows 3.33 lots at 1% risk, 1.67 lots at 2% risk. On GBPJPY with 50-pip stop, you're looking at 2.0 lots at 1% or 4.0 lots at 2%. US30 with 20-point stop gives you 5 lots at 1% risk. The key calculation is always: (Risk Amount ÷ Stop Loss in dollars) = Position Size. Your max drawdown of $600 means your account can never drop below $9,400 from the starting balance OR the highest point it's reached. This trailing drawdown becomes crucial once you're profitable - if you hit $10,500, your new breach level becomes $9,900, not the original $9,400. The single-phase structure means these same rules apply from day one through funding. No rule changes, no increased limits after hitting profit targets. You need $1,000 profit to pass, but there's no minimum trading day requirement, so you could theoretically pass in one good session. Position sizing becomes critical because smaller accounts like 10k have less margin for error. While a 100k account can absorb a few 1% losses easily, your $400 daily limit gets eaten quickly. Most successful 10k traders stick to 0.5-1% risk per trade, giving themselves 4-8 attempts per day rather than gambling on 2% positions that leave zero room for mistakes.
