Trade 1 contract to risk $400 at your stop.
Contract limit on this account: 6 minis or 60 micros.
Daily loss left today 40% of it
Room to max loss 20% of it
FX conversions use the ECB reference rates of 2026-10-13. Sizes are rounded down, so the risk never goes over what you set. A stop doesn't guarantee your fill: in fast markets the loss can be larger.
Example: EOD Evaluation + PA · Evaluation · 50K
Risking 1% ($500) on NQ with a 20-point stop gives 1 contract. That stop uses 40% of the daily loss limit and 20% of the max loss on a fresh account. After a losing day there is less room, so type what is left today.
The limits your stop has to fit, by account
Fresh accounts, from Apex Trader Funding's official pages. The max loss trails on some accounts, so the room to it can be smaller than shown once the balance has been higher.

Apex Trader Funding position size questions
What contract size can I trade on a Apex Trader Funding account?
It depends on your stop and on what is left of the account's limits. On a fresh EOD Evaluation + PA · Evaluation · 50K account, risking 1% ($500) on NQ with a 20-point stop is 1 contract. Pick your own account, stop and today's remaining daily loss in the calculator.
How many contracts can I trade at Apex Trader Funding?
Apex Trader Funding caps the full-size contracts you can hold, by account: 25K EOD Evaluation + PA: 1; 50K EOD Evaluation + PA: 2; 100K EOD Evaluation + PA: 3; 150K EOD Evaluation + PA: 4; 25K Intraday Evaluation + PA: 1; 50K Intraday Evaluation + PA: 2. Micros count as a tenth of a mini at most firms. The calculator applies the cap of the account you pick.
Does Apex Trader Funding have a daily loss limit?
Yes, on some accounts (Intraday Evaluation + PA have none). A stop that would lose more than what is left of today's limit breaks it, even if it is only 1% of the balance; the calculator sizes the trade so the stop stays inside.
