What is the maximum position size?

Updated this week

The maximum position size is the total number of contracts you can open at the same time on your account.
It defines your overall market exposure and helps keep your trading consistent with your account size.


1. Maximum position size by account

Account

Maximum Position Size

Equivalent in Micros

$50,000

5 minis

50 micros

$100,000

10 minis

100 micros

$150,000

15 minis

150 micros

There’s no minimum, you can trade even one micro if you want.
The limit is global, meaning it applies to all your open positions combined.

Example:
On a $100K account, you can open a total of 10 minis,
for example 10 ES, or 6 ES + 4 NQ, but not 10 ES + 10 NQ.
The total count of open positions must always stay within your account limit.


2. Challenge accounts

In a Challenge, it’s simple:
you can use your full maximum position size from the start.

There’s no scaling or performance restriction.
As long as you respect your drawdown and consistency rules,
you can trade any size up to your limit at any time.


3. Funded accounts and scaling rule

In a Funded account, the position size increases gradually as you grow your equity.
You start with half of your maximum position size,
and once your equity reaches a certain level,
you unlock the full size permanently.


What does “EOD equity” mean?

EOD stands for End Of Day,
it’s your account’s final equity value at the close of the trading day.
This includes your balance + open trades (if any), after all positions are closed for the session.

Sirok Funded uses this number to decide whether you’ve reached the scaling threshold.


How it works (with real numbers)

Let’s say you have a $100,000 Funded account with a $3,000 drawdown.

Your unlock threshold is calculated as:

Starting balance + 50% of drawdown
→ $100,000 + $1,500 = $101,500

So here’s how your scaling works:

Stage

EOD Equity

Max Position Size

Status

Start

$100,000

5 minis

Limited to half size

After small gains

$100,800

5 minis

Still half size

EOD Equity ≥ $101,500

$101,500+

10 minis

Full size unlocked

Once your EOD equity (your end-of-day account value) reaches $101,500 or more,
you unlock your full 10 minis permanently.

Even if your balance later drops back to $100,800,
the unlock stays active, it doesn’t reset.


4. Why this rule exists

The scaling rule prevents traders from taking oversized positions before showing stable growth.
It helps protect your funded capital early on,
and rewards good risk management by giving you more flexibility once you prove consistency.

It’s not meant to limit you, it’s there to make sure you scale your trading responsibly.

6. In short

  • Challenge : full position size from day one.

  • Funded: start with half, unlock the full size once your EOD equity grows by half your drawdown.

  • EOD equity = your end-of-day account value (balance + open trades).

  • No minimum : you can trade as small as you want.

  • The limit covers all contracts combined, across all instruments.
