FXIFY $400,000 Challenge — Position Size Calculator

Quick Answer

Firm Rules Summary

Risk Guide

On FXIFY's $400k account, you can take exactly 4 losing trades at 1% risk ($4,000 each) before hitting the $16,000 daily loss limit, while only 2 losing trades at 2% risk ($8,000 each) will breach it. This creates a dangerous scenario where two bad trades in a single day can end your challenge - always consider correlation and avoid taking multiple high-risk positions simultaneously. For position sizing calculations: EURUSD at 1% risk with 30 pips allows 1,333,000 units (13.33 standard lots), while 50 pips reduces this to 800,000 units (8 standard lots). GBPJPY requires more precision - at 1% risk with 30 pips, you can trade approximately 2,222,000 units, but verify with current exchange rates. Gold trading demands extra caution: 1% risk with a $20 stop allows roughly 200 ounces, but gold's volatility means stops often expand beyond planned levels. The math remains identical between Phase 1 challenge and Phase 2 verification - your daily loss limit stays $16,000 throughout. However, your profit target drops from $40,000 in Phase 1 to just $20,000 in Phase 2, meaning you need different monthly targets. With no minimum trading days required, you could theoretically pass phases quickly, but don't rush - blown daily loss limits reset your progress entirely. Many traders fail by overleveraging after small losses, trying to recover quickly. At this account size, even 0.5% risk per trade ($2,000) provides substantial position sizes while maintaining an 8-loss buffer before daily limits. Remember that FXIFY's 10% maximum drawdown ($40,000) is separate from daily limits - you could theoretically lose $15,999 daily for multiple days before hitting max drawdown, but practically, consistent daily losses near limits indicate strategy problems requiring immediate adjustment.
