Funded Trading Plus $50,000 Challenge — Position Size Calculator

Risk Guide

On Funded Trading Plus's $50k account, your $2,000 daily loss limit means you can take exactly 4 losing trades at 1% risk ($500 each) or just 2 losing trades at 2% risk ($1,000 each) before hitting the limit. This is where most traders get burned – they don't realize how quickly small losses add up. At 1% risk per trade, you're risking $500. For EURUSD with a 30-pip stop, that's $500 ÷ $300 (pip value) = 1.67 standard lots. For GBPUSD with a 25-pip stop, it's $500 ÷ $250 = 2 standard lots. Gold traders need to be extra careful – with gold's $10 pip value, a 20-pip stop means $500 ÷ $200 = 2.5 lots maximum. The real danger with this account size is revenge trading after a bad start. Hit two 2% losses early in the day and you're done – no more trading until tomorrow. Smart traders on this account stick to 1% risk maximum, giving them 4 chances to find a winner. Your max drawdown is $3,000 (6%), which sounds generous until you realize that's only 6 losing trades at 1% risk if you don't have any winners. Since this is a single-phase challenge, your position sizing strategy stays identical once you pass. You need $5,000 profit (10%) to get funded, then the same $2,000 daily limit and $3,000 drawdown apply to your funded account. No consistency rules means you can make all $5,000 in one day if you want, but with only $2,000 daily risk allowance, you'll need multiple winning days. The math is unforgiving: lose $2,000 on day one, make $1,500 on day two, lose $2,000 on day three – you're already down $2,500 total, dangerously close to that $3,000 max drawdown limit.
