The Contract Scaling Plan applies only to funded Elite ACCESS Intraday accounts. There are no scaling restrictions during the evaluation phase, where you can trade up to your full contract limit from day one.
How scaling works
Once your account is funded, your maximum contract size increases as your simulated account balance grows. Your allowed contract size is determined by your end-of-day (EOD) closing balance and takes effect the following trading day.
Key principles
Evaluation phase: you can trade your full contract limit immediately, no scaling rules apply.
Funded phase: your contract limit scales based on your profit milestones.
Contract limits update once per day (EOD). Intraday equity spikes during active trading do not unlock higher tiers mid-session.
You must stay within your allowed contract size at all times.
Maximum contracts (fully scaled)
Account size | Full contract allocation |
$25,000 | 1 mini or 10 micros |
$50,000 | 3 minis or 30 micros |
$100,000 | 5 minis or 50 micros |
$150,000 | 7 minis or 70 micros |
Scaling levels (funded only)
You start at Level 1 and unlock more contracts as your simulated profit grows. 1 mini equals 10 micros, and you can trade a mix of minis and micros as long as the combined total stays within your tier limit.
Level | $25,000 | $50,000 | $100,000 | $150,000 |
Level 1 (start) | 1 mini (full allocation) | 1 mini | 2 minis | 3 minis |
Level 2 | – | 2 minis from +$1,500 | 3 minis from +$1,500 | 4 minis from +$1,500 |
Level 3 | – | 3 minis from +$2,000 (full allocation) | 4 minis from +$2,000 | 5 minis from +$2,500 |
Level 4 | – | – | 5 minis from +$3,000 (full allocation) | 6 minis from +$3,500 |
Level 5 | – | – | – | 7 minis from +$4,500 (full allocation) |
How scaling is calculated
Your scaling level is determined by your funded account closing balance, your total simulated profit and your end-of-day equity. Contract increases are applied the following trading day once your closing balance qualifies.
Intraday profits do not unlock a higher level.
Only end-of-day results are used.
Trader responsibility
It is your responsibility to monitor and follow the contract scaling rules at all times. Exceeding your allowed contract size is a rule violation. If scaling rules are not followed:
Trades may be rejected or reduced
The account may be flagged for review
Profits from violating trades may be removed
Payout requests may be denied
Compliance with scaling rules is required for payout eligibility.
Your contract limit is checked at the end of each trading day. A higher tier only applies from the next trading day after your closing balance qualifies.
