Finotive Funding $5,000 Challenge — Position Size Calculator

Quick Answer

Firm Rules Summary

Risk Guide

With Finotive Funding's 5k account, your daily loss limit is $200 (4%), meaning you can take exactly 4 losing trades at 1% risk ($50 each) before breaching. At 2% risk per trade ($100), you're only 2 losses away from elimination. The max drawdown of $375 gives you slightly more breathing room but requires careful tracking across multiple days. The real danger scenario here is taking oversized positions during high-impact news or revenge trading after losses. If you risk 3% per trade ($150), just two bad trades puts you at $300 loss, dangerously close to your daily limit. Position sizing math for popular instruments: EURUSD with 30-pip stops allows roughly 1.67 standard lots ($50 ÷ 30 pips ÷ $1 per pip). GBPJPY with 40-pip stops limits you to about 1.25 standard lots ($50 ÷ 40 pips ÷ $1 per pip). Gold (XAUUSD) with $20 stops allows 0.25 lots ($50 ÷ $20 ÷ $10 per pip). This is a single-phase challenge with no profit target in Phase 1, so you only need to survive without hitting drawdown limits while completing minimum 3 trading days. Unlike two-phase programs, there's no rule change between challenge and funded phases - your risk parameters remain constant at 4% daily loss and 7.5% max drawdown. The absence of a consistency rule means you can have winning days of any size, but don't let this encourage oversized risk-taking. Stick to 1% risk per trade maximum. With only $200 daily wiggle room, this account size demands strict discipline and precise position sizing calculations before every single trade entry.
