When a trader successfully completes the Challenge Account and receives the Funded Account, a new feature is introduced to help maximize profitability, known as:
Contract scaling.
In futures accounts, scaling is based on tradable contracts rather than account balances. A trader's maximum number of open contracts at any given time will scale according to their profits, which are calculated at the end of the day.
How Does Contract Scaling Work?
Contract scaling is automatically adjusted based on your account’s end-of-day (EOD) balance. As your balance increases, you become eligible to trade a higher number of contracts.
The contract limits apply to both mini contracts and micro contracts, allowing traders to select their preferred position size within the permitted limits.

Where Can I Track This?
Traders can easily keep track of their end-of-day (EOD) balance and see if they qualify for contract scaling right from their account Dashboard. Since scaling changes happen at the end of the trading day, you can check your new contract limits the next day before diving into new trades.
Traders can trade a maximum of 15 E-mini contracts or 150 E-micro contracts in Instant Sim Funded, and 9 E-mini contracts or 90 E-micro contracts in One Step account.
By following the contract scaling model, traders can grow their positions as their funded accounts expand while also sticking to FTUK Futures’ risk guidelines.
