DNA Funded $10,000 Challenge — Position Size Calculator

Quick Answer

Firm Rules Summary

Risk Guide

DNA Funded's $10k account gives you $400 daily loss room and $600 total drawdown space before violation. At 1% risk ($100 per trade), you can handle exactly 4 consecutive losses before hitting the daily limit. At 2% risk ($200 per trade), just 2 losses will breach your daily allowance. The math is unforgiving here. The killer scenario for this account size: taking a 2% risk trade that gaps against you for a $300+ loss. You're now down to $100 remaining daily room, severely limiting your trading for the rest of the session. Many traders blow these smaller accounts by not respecting the tight daily limits. For position sizing on major pairs: EURUSD with 30-pip stops allows 3.33 standard lots at 1% risk ($100 ÷ $30 = 3.33 lots). GBPJPY with 50-pip stops gets you 2 standard lots ($100 ÷ $50). Gold with $10 stops means 1 standard lot maximum ($100 ÷ $10). Always round down to stay within limits. The challenge phase requires hitting $1,000 profit (10%) across minimum 5 trading days with no consistency rule restrictions. This actually helps since you can have uneven daily profits. Focus on preservation first - losing $400 in one day ends your $89 challenge fee investment. Once funded, the same risk rules apply but your profit target disappears. The daily loss limit remains your primary constraint. Many traders increase position size too quickly after passing, forgetting that $400 daily loss limit stays identical. Your account equity might grow, but DNA Funded's rules don't adjust the dollar limits upward. Smart approach: stick to 0.5-1% risk per trade during challenge phase. The $600 max drawdown gives some cushion, but recovering from large daily losses while still hitting profit targets creates psychological pressure that kills accounts.
