Firm Rules Summary

Risk Guide

SpiceProp's $300k account gives you $16,500 daily loss room and $33,000 total drawdown before elimination. At 1% risk ($3,000 per trade), you can survive roughly 5-6 consecutive losses before hitting the daily limit. At 2% risk ($6,000 per trade), just 2-3 losses will breach your daily allowance. The danger zone starts around $13,000 in daily losses - that's when you need to stop trading immediately. For position sizing, here's the math: EURUSD with 30-pip stop = $3,000 ÷ $3 per pip = 10 standard lots maximum. GBPJPY with 40-pip stop = $3,000 ÷ $6.20 per pip = 4.8 lots maximum. Gold with $15 stop = $3,000 ÷ $15 = 2 standard lots. The key insight for this account size is that aggressive 2%+ risk will get you eliminated fast - SpiceProp's 5.5% daily limit is tighter than many firms. Smart traders stick to 0.5-1% risk to build consistency. Between challenge phases, nothing changes in your risk management - Phase 1 needs $30,000 profit (10%), Phase 2 needs $15,000 (5%), but your daily loss limit stays identical. The funded account maintains the same 5.5% daily loss rule, so don't increase risk after passing. Most failures happen from revenge trading after 2-3 losses pile up to $10,000+. When you're down $12,000+ for the day, walk away. The math is unforgiving: at $13,000 daily loss, one more 1% trade gone wrong puts you at $16,000 - dangerously close to the $16,500 limit. Position sizing discipline separates funded traders from blown accounts.
