πŸ”’ Lot Size Trading Rule β€” HFTFunded

To maintain a fair, controlled, and risk-managed trading environment, HFTFunded enforces the Lot Size Trading Rule for all challenge and funded accounts.

πŸ“Œ Rule Explanation

Your maximum allowed lot size is directly tied to the balance of your account, using the following formula:

➑️ Maximum Allowed Lot Size = (Account Balance Γ— 100) Γ· 100,000

Or simply:

πŸ’‘ Maximum Trading Exposure = Account Balance Γ— 100


πŸ“˜ Example

If you purchase a $25,000 account:

  • Maximum exposure allowed:
    ​25,000 Γ— 100 = $2,500,000

  • In lot size:
    ​$2,500,000 Γ· 100,000 = 25 lots

So the maximum total lot size you are allowed to open at any given moment is:

πŸ”Ί 25 Lots


πŸ“ Important Notes

  • This is total exposure, meaning all open positions combined must not exceed the allowed limit.

  • Opening trades that surpass your limit will be considered rule violation and may result in breach of the account.

  • The rule applies at all times, regardless of market volatility, spreads, or trading strategy.

  • Applies to all instruments unless otherwise stated.
