DNA Funded $50,000 Challenge — Position Size Calculator

Quick Answer

Firm Rules Summary

Risk Guide

With DNA Funded's $50k account, your daily loss limit is exactly $2,000 (4%) and max drawdown is $3,000 (6%). Here's the critical math: at 1% risk per trade ($500), you can survive exactly 4 consecutive losses before breaching the daily limit. At 2% risk ($1,000), just 2 losses will breach it. This is where most traders blow accounts - they risk 2-3% thinking they have room, then hit a bad streak. Position sizing depends on your stop loss distance. For EURUSD with a 30-pip stop: $500 risk ÷ 30 pips = $16.67 per pip, which equals 1.67 standard lots. With a 50-pip stop, you'd trade 1.0 standard lot. For indices like NAS100 where $1 per point might equal 20-50 pips equivalent, calculate backwards: $500 risk ÷ your stop distance in dollars. The danger zone starts when you're down $1,500+ for the day. At that point, you have less than $500 breathing room before hitting the $2,000 limit. Many traders revenge trade here and blow the account in minutes. Your max drawdown of $3,000 means if you lose $2,000 today and don't make it back, you only have $1,000 total room left across all future trading days before breaching the 6% rule. Once you pass the challenge and get funded, these same rules apply - no changes to risk limits. The only difference is you're trading live capital and earning profit splits. Your position sizing strategy that got you through the $5,000 profit target should remain identical. DNA Funded's single-phase structure means you prove consistency once, then maintain the same discipline forever. Risk 1% maximum, track your daily P&L religiously, and never trade when you're down $1,500+ in a day.
