Scaling Plan & Growth

How the FTMO Futures Scaling Plan Works

Unlike traditional balance-expansion scaling models in Forex prop firms, FTMO Futures implements a dynamic, performance-based contract scaling plan on all Sim-Funded Accounts.

Instead of needing to buy additional challenge accounts to trade more size, your contract capacity expands automatically as you demonstrate consistent profitability on your Sim-Funded Account.

Scaling Parameter	50k Account	100k Account	150k Account
Initial Simulated Capital	$50,000	$100,000	$150,000
Evaluation Max Contracts	5 Minis (50 Micros)	10 Minis (100 Micros)	15 Minis (150 Micros)
Funded Starting Contracts	2 Minis (20 Micros)	4 Minis (40 Micros)	6 Minis (60 Micros)
Funded Maximum Contracts	5 Minis (50 Micros)	10 Minis (100 Micros)	15 Minis (150 Micros)
Scaling Mechanism	Milestone Brackets	Milestone Brackets	Milestone Brackets
Adjustment Timing	Next Trading Day	Next Trading Day	Next Trading Day
Max Concurrent Accounts	3 Sim-Funded	3 Sim-Funded	3 Sim-Funded
Max Capital Allocation	$150,000	$300,000	$450,000

Contract Scaling Milestone Brackets

Contract limits adjust according to your End-of-Day (EOD) Profit above Initial Simulated Capital:

• $0 – $999 profit: 2 Minis / Standard (20 Micros)
• $1,000 – $1,999 profit: 3 Minis / Standard (30 Micros)
• $2,000 – $2,999 profit: 5 Minis / Standard (50 Micros)
• $3,000 – $4,499 profit: 5 Minis / Standard (50 Micros)
• $4,500+ profit: 5 Minis / Standard (50 Micros)

2. $100,000 Account (Growth & Pro)

• $0 – $999 profit: 4 Minis / Standard (40 Micros)

Critical Scaling Mechanics: Downward Adjustment

[!WARNING] Contract Limits Can Decrease: If your account experiences drawdown and your end-of-day balance drops back into a lower profit bracket, your maximum contract limit is adjusted downward starting on the next trading day.

Example: You open a $100,000 account with a 4-contract limit. After profitable trading, your balance reaches $103,500 (+$3,500 profit), unlocking the maximum 10-contract tier. If a subsequent losing session closes your balance at $100,800 (+$800 profit), your contract capacity automatically resets to 4 contracts the following trading day.

Contract Conversion & Mix-and-Match Rules

FTMO Futures applies a standardized 10:1 Micro-to-Mini conversion ratio:

• 1 Standard or Mini contract = 1 contract
• 10 Micro contracts = 1 Standard/Mini contract

You may trade pure Minis, pure Micros, or any combined permutation within your current allowance:

• On a 5-contract limit: trade 4 Minis + 10 Micros, or 2 Minis + 30 Micros.
• On a 10-contract limit: trade 8 Minis + 20 Micros, or 4 Minis + 60 Micros.
• On a 15-contract limit: trade 12 Minis + 30 Micros, or 6 Minis + 90 Micros.
