Contract Scaling Rule (Half → Full)
This article explains how contract scaling works in funded accounts and when you can unlock full size.
Core Rule: Trade half size until Safety Net is reached.
1. Scaling Limits

50K | 10 | 5 | 10 | 52,600 |
75K | 12 | 6 | 12 | 78,100 |
100K | 15 | 7 | 15 | 103,600 |
150K | 20 | 10 | 20 | 154,600 |
200K | 25 | 12 | 25 | 206,100 |
