⚖️ Leverage & Contract Limits

Leverage TypeExchange standard futures margin
ES (E-mini S&P 500)Progressive — based on account balance tier
NQ (E-mini Nasdaq)Progressive — based on account balance tier
CL (Crude Oil)Progressive — based on account balance tier
Micro Contracts (MES/MNQ)1/10th of standard contract size
Contract Limits (Eval Phase)Set per plan and account size
Scaling on Funded AccountsProgressive — based on EOD balance tiers
Max Simultaneous AccountsMultiple accounts allowed (copy across up to 5)

⚠️ Progressive Scaling: FFF uses end-of-day balance to determine contract limits on funded accounts. Limits increase as your account grows beyond the starting balance. This prevents over-leveraging early in the funded phase.
