Account Size Contract Limits

Explanation of contract size restrictions based on account size and plan type

Updated over a month ago

TX3 Funding imposes contract size limits based on account size and plan type to help traders manage leverage and exposure effectively. These limits are in place to prevent traders from taking on excessive risk that could lead to significant losses. Below are the contract size limits for each account type:

Contract Limits by Account Size for Starter Plan

Account Size

Max Contracts (E-mini or Micro)

$50,000

3

$100,000

6

$150,000

9


Contract Limits by Account Size for Pro Plan

Account Size

Max Contracts (E-mini or Micro)

$50,000

5

$100,000

10

$150,000

15


E-mini and Micro Ratio

All E-mini and their Micro equivalents count 1:1 toward your contract limit.

  • Regardless of which instrument you trade—E-mini or Micro—each contract counts the same.

  • You cannot exceed your maximum even by mixing both types simultaneously.

Examples:

  1. On a $100 K Pro Plan (max 10), trading 6 contracts of /ES (E-mini S&P 500) + 4 contracts of /MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) is OK (total 10).
    Trading 6 /ES + 5 /MES (11 total) would breach your limit.

  2. On a $50 K Starter Plan (max 3), placing 2 contracts of /RTY (E-mini Russell 2000) + 2 contracts of /M2K (Micro E-mini Russell 2000) totals 4, which exceeds the limit.

Enforcement & Violations

All trades are monitored, and any contract-size violations are reviewed:

  1. Upon passing the initial evaluation

  2. At payout

If a breach is detected:

  • The profit from the excess contracts will be deducted from your account.

  • Based on the deduction amount and your account performance, you may be required to:

    • Redo the initial evaluation, or

    • Have your payout rejected if the adjustment drops your payout below our minimum threshold.

Adhering to your max-contract limits is essential to avoid deductions, re-evaluations, or payout rejections.

Contract limits are essential for managing leverage and ensuring traders do not exceed acceptable risk levels. The Pro Plan allows for higher contract limits compared to the Starter Plan, providing more flexibility for experienced traders. It is crucial to adhere to these limits to avoid breaches and potential account termination.
