Accounts & Evaluations
Account Size
The nominal buying power of an evaluation or funded account, like $50,000 or $150,000. It sets the scale of the profit target, drawdown, and contract limits, not money you can withdraw.
In plain English
Account size is the headline number firms sell by, but it is best read as a scale setting. A $100,000 account does not contain $100,000 you can lose or withdraw; it means the targets, drawdown, and position limits are calibrated to that figure.
Bigger accounts cost more, allow more contracts, and have larger absolute targets and cushions. The ratio between target and drawdown often matters more than the size itself.
- A $50,000 account with a $3,000 target and $2,000 drawdown, and a $100,000 account with a $6,000 target and $4,000 drawdown, are the same difficulty at twice the contract scale.
