FXIFY $100,000 Challenge — Position Size Calculator

Quick Answer

Firm Rules Summary

Risk Guide

With FXIFY's $100k account, your daily loss wall sits at $4,000. Risk 1% per trade ($1,000), and you can absorb four consecutive losses before hitting that limit. Push to 2% risk ($2,000 per trade), and just two bad trades will breach your daily allowance - a dangerous game that ends challenges fast. The math gets real when you're sizing positions. On EURUSD with a 50-pip stop, 1% risk allows 2 standard lots ($20 per pip × 50 pips = $1,000 risk). Stretch that stop to 100 pips, and you're down to 1 standard lot. For indices like US30, where 10-point stops are common, 1% risk gives you $100 per point - manageable size that won't blow your account on normal volatility. The killer scenario? Loading up 5% risk per trade thinking you'll nail every setup. One surprise news event, one gap against you, and your $100k challenge is over before lunch. Smart traders stick to 0.5-1% risk, especially early in the challenge when you're learning the platform's execution speed and spreads. Here's the position sizing formula burned into every profitable trader's brain: Risk Amount ÷ (Stop Loss in Pips × Pip Value) = Position Size. For that EURUSD example: $1,000 ÷ (50 pips × $10) = 2 lots. Master this calculation because your trading platform won't save you from oversizing. Between challenge and funded phases, nothing changes in your risk management approach. The daily loss limit stays $4,000, max drawdown remains $10,000. The only difference is you're trading real money in the funded phase, making disciplined position sizing even more critical. Traders who pass FXIFY's challenge understand that position sizing isn't about maximizing profit per trade - it's about surviving long enough for edge to compound. Risk 1%, stay consistent, and let the 10% profit target come naturally rather than forcing it with oversized positions.
