FundedX $200,000 Challenge — Position Size Calculator

Quick Answer

Firm Rules Summary

Risk Guide

With FundedX's $6,000 daily loss limit, you can survive exactly 3 consecutive losses at 1% risk ($2,000 each) or just 3 losses at 2% risk ($4,000 each) before hitting the boundary. The critical danger zone occurs when you're down $4,000+ for the day – one more 2% loss puts you at $8,000, breaching both daily and max drawdown limits simultaneously. Position sizing math for this account: At 1% risk, your maximum loss per trade is $2,000. For EURUSD with 30-pip stops, this translates to 6.67 standard lots ($2,000 ÷ $300). With 50-pip stops, drop to 4 standard lots ($2,000 ÷ $500). Gold traders using 20-pip stops can trade 2 standard lots ($2,000 ÷ $1,000). These calculations assume standard pip values: $10/pip for major FX pairs and $100/pip for gold. The max drawdown at $8,000 creates a compounding risk scenario. If you're down $3,000 for the day and sitting at $197,000 account value, you're just $5,000 from max drawdown breach. This means your next trade cannot risk more than $5,000, regardless of your normal 1% or 2% rule. Always calculate distance to both limits before entering positions. During the challenge phase, focus on the $10,000 profit target with controlled risk. Since there's no minimum trading days requirement, you can achieve this in a single day theoretically, but the daily loss limit prevents aggressive gambling. Most successful traders target $500-1,000 daily profits using 0.5-1% risk, reaching the target in 10-20 trading days. Once funded, the same risk management applies, but now you're trading for long-term income rather than just passing an evaluation.
