TX3 Funding Futures 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 | Max Contract - Micro |
$50,000 | 3 | 30 |
$100,000 | 6 | 60 |
$150,000 | 9 | 90 |
Contract Limits by Account Size for Pro Plan
Account Size | Max Contracts - E-mini | Max Contract - Micro |
$50,000 | 5 | 50 |
$100,000 | 10 | 100 |
$150,000 | 15 | 150 |
E-mini and Micro Ratio (Effective August 11, 2025)
Traders are now permitted to convert E-Mini contracts into Micro contracts at a 1:10 ratio. This means:
1 E-mini contract = 10 Micro contracts
You may trade any combination of E-mini and Micro contracts, provided the total contract size remains within the account’s maximum limit
This update provides greater flexibility in managing position sizing while remaining compliant with account limits.
Examples (for a $100,000 Pro account – max 10 contracts):
3 E-mini + 70 Micro = 10 contracts total
0 E-mini + 100 Micro = 10 contracts total
2 E-mini + 50 Micro = 7 contracts total
4 E-mini + 80 Micro = 12 contracts total (over the limit)
Important Exceptions
Certain Micro contracts do not follow the standard 1:10 conversion rule. These contracts have unique rules that must be followed to remain within contract limits.
Micro Silver (SIL):
SIL contracts count as 2 Micro contracts
Has a ratio of 5:1 meaning that 5 Micro SIL = 10 Micro Gold (MGC)
Traders must account for this increased contract weight when calculating total usage
Micro Bitcoin (MBT) and Micro Ether (MET):
MBT and MET are treated as Mini-sized contracts despite their Micro naming
These instruments are not eligible for the 1:10 conversion
Lot caps are defined per plan and must be followed

Enforcement & Violations
All trades are monitored, and any contract-size violations are reviewed:
Upon passing the initial evaluation
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.
Additional Notes
The total number of contracts must include all open positions across instruments
Contract limits are enforced at all times; violations may lead to loss of funding or withheld payouts
Past violations assessed under the previous rules will not be revisited or reversed
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.
