Funded Futures Family Leverage Explained

Leverage in futures trading works differently than in forex or CFDs. Instead of leverage ratios like 1:100, futures prop firms set maximum contract size limits per account tier — this effectively determines how much market exposure a trader can take relative to their account balance. At Funded Futures Family, contract limits scale with account size.

The list below outlines the current contract limits offered by Funded Futures Family across supported account sizes. This breakdown helps traders quickly identify how much exposure is permitted at each account tier before selecting a challenge.

Funded Futures Family Leverage by Asset Class

Prime, Premier Plus (EOD & Intraday) & Velocity Max Contract Size Allowed per Account Size

$25,000 Account: Up to 3 Minis or 30 Micros
$50,000 Account: Up to 5 Minis or 50 Micros
$100,000 Account: Up to 10 Minis or 100 Micros
$150,000 Account: Up to 15 Minis or 150 Micros

S2F Max Contract Size Allowed per Account Size

25K Account - Up to 1 mini 10 micros to start and then scaling up to 3 minis 30 micros
50K Account - Up to 3 minis 30 micros to start and then scaling up to 5 minis 50 micros

150K Account - Up to 5 minis 50 micros to start and then scaling up to 15 minis 150 micros

If you accidentally exceed the scaling plan, you will have 10 seconds to correct the issue. Failure to bring your positions back in line with the scaling plan within this timeframe will result in the loss of your account. If corrected within the allowed time, we will review the situation. If deemed accidental, any profits made from the incident may be removed. However, repeated incidents will not be tolerated.

How to Interpret These Contract Limits

At Funded Futures Family, contract size limits scale proportionally with account size, giving traders larger market exposure as they qualify for bigger accounts. These limits are enforced during the evaluation phase and typically carry into the funded stage as well.

This means traders need to size positions within these caps at all times — exceeding the contract limit can trigger a rule violation regardless of whether the position is in profit or loss.

Account-Wise Contract Overview at Funded Futures Family

$25K Account
The entry-level account is suited to traders starting with conservative position sizing — ideal for testing strategies on micro contracts before scaling up.

$50K Account
The mid-tier account roughly doubles available contract exposure, suiting traders ready to take larger positions or trade multiple instruments simultaneously.

$100K Account
At this tier, contract limits support more active strategies including multi-instrument scaling and intraday position layering.

$150K Account
The largest account size offers the highest contract caps available at Funded Futures Family, suiting experienced futures traders running scaled or systematic strategies.

What This Contract Structure Means for Traders

Based on this contract limit setup, Funded Futures Family may be more suitable for:

Traders who scale position size with account growth
Day traders and scalpers focused on index and energy futures
Traders comfortable starting with micros and progressing to minis

Traders requiring large position sizes early in the evaluation, or who prefer leverage-style exposure on FX or crypto, may find a futures-only firm more restrictive than CFD-based prop firms.
