The XFA starts at $0, so $1,800 sits in the "$1,500 - $2,000" row of Topstep's 50K Scaling Plan: 3 minis or 30 micros for the session. The next row, 5 minis, starts above $2,000, $200 away; the tier only moves at the close.

An 8-point stop on ES is 32 ticks of $12.50: $400 a mini, $40 a micro. With the $1,000 Daily Loss Limit added, one stop-out has to leave the day above it, so 2 minis ($800) fit and 3 ($1,200) would not.

The Maximum Loss Limit trails $2,000 under the highest close and locks at $0; at a highest close of $1,800 it sits at −$200, $2,000 of room. At 2 minis that is 2 stops, and the next one reaches the limit.

• Trading Combine (evaluation)
  50K: 5 minis or 50 micros. Max loss: $2,000, trailing the highest close, locking at $50,000. Daily loss limit: $1,000, optional, ending the day, not the account.
  100K: 10 minis or 100 micros. Max loss: $3,000, trailing the highest close, locking at $100,000. Daily loss limit: $2,000, optional, ending the day, not the account.
  150K: 15 minis or 150 micros. Max loss: $4,500, trailing the highest close, locking at $150,000. Daily loss limit: $3,000, optional, ending the day, not the account.
  Micros: Ten micros count as one mini against the cap ("1 Mini = 10 Micro contracts"); Micro Silver counts as 2 micros, and Micro Bitcoin and Micro Ether are capped at mini-equivalent sizes.The Combine has a flat cap and no Scaling Plan; the Scaling Plan starts in the Express Funded Account.The Daily Loss Limit is optional, picked at checkout; hitting it ends the session and isn't a rule violation.Current restrictions on Risk Adjustments (edited 2026-10-21), $50K/$100K/$150K: CL, QM, RB, HO and GC at 3/6/9, MCL and MGC at 30/60/90 micros, SIL and MHG at 2/5/7, and SI, HG and PL not at all. The calculator applies the CL and GC rows on those markets; in the XFA they are a ceiling, and the Scaling Plan can set a lower one.For the 10 minutes around Tier 1 news (CPI, FOMC, NFP, PPI) there are no new positions in equity-index and metal minis; new positions in MES, M2K, MYM, MNQ and MGC are limited to 3, 6 or 9 contracts on a $50K, $100K or $150K (lower by Scaling Plan row in the XFA), and in MHG and SIL to 2, 5 or 7.Sources: Trading Combine® Parameters, edited 2026-09-24; What is the Scaling Plan?, edited 2026-07-16; What is the Maximum Loss Limit?, edited 2026-09-18; Daily Loss Limit in the Trading Combine and Express Funded Account, edited 2026-06-30; Risk Adjustments: High Risk/High Volatility, edited 2026-10-21
• Express Funded Account (XFA)
  50K: 2–5 minis by the scaling plan, up to 5 minis or 50 micros. Max loss: $2,000, trailing the highest close, locking at $0; a payout request moves it to $0. Daily loss limit: $1,000, optional, ending the day, not the account.

  Micros: Ten micros count as one mini against the cap ("1 Mini = 10 Micro contracts"); Micro Silver counts as 2 micros, and Micro Bitcoin and Micro Ether are capped at mini-equivalent sizes.Topstep publishes the rows only as a chart image, which we read on the day. "Your max contracts do not increase mid-session": a higher row starts with the next session, and a payout that drops the balance into a lower row lowers the limit.At $2,000, $3,000 and $4,500 the chart puts the balance in the lower row, or in two rows (the 100K and 150K at $2,000, the 150K at $3,000), while Topstep's restricted-product example on Risk Adjustments treats the round number as the higher row. The calculator takes the lower row, the stricter reading. $1,500 is in the $1,500 - $2,000 row.The Maximum Loss Limit starts $2,000/$3,000/$4,500 under the $0 start, trails closes and locks at $0; the first payout sets it to $0. The Daily Loss Limit is optional, added at checkout or activation.Current restrictions on Risk Adjustments (edited 2026-10-21), $50K/$100K/$150K: CL, QM, RB, HO and GC at 3/6/9, MCL and MGC at 30/60/90 micros, SIL and MHG at 2/5/7, and SI, HG and PL not at all.

  Micros: Topstep says the 10:1 micro-to-mini ratio isn't available on Live, and its Live restricted-product caps count micros one for one (MGC 5/10/15), though its Labs page prints "5 mini / 50 micros" for a Labs Live account. The calculator counts a micro as one contract, the stricter reading.Position limits stay at 5/10/15 lots until $100,000 of Live profit (Dynamic Live Risk Expansion Tier 4, up to 30 lots; then up to 50, 70 and 100). The Daily Loss Limit starts at $2,000/$3,000/$4,500 and rises $500 at $15k, $20k and $50k of Live profit; the calculator keeps the starting amount, the stricter reading.A tradable balance at or below $10,000 caps the account at 5 lots and a $2,000 Daily Loss Limit, at or below $5,000 at 3 lots and $1,000. A drop applies from the next session; the standard limits return only after the Friday close, so until then enter the lower balance.Current restrictions on Live: CL, QM, RB, HO, MCL and GC at 3/6/9, MGC at 5/10/15, SIL and MHG at 2/4/6; the calculator applies the CL and GC rows on those markets.Below $1,000 the account may be liquidated and closed at the end of the day; Topstep publishes no trailing loss amount for Live. New on 2026-10-21: Live traders with a balance below $3,000 are limited to 1 contract during Tier 1 news.Sources: Live Funded Account Parameters, edited 2026-10-20; Dynamic Live Risk Expansion, edited 2026-09-24; What is the Scaling Plan?, edited 2026-07-16; Risk Adjustments: High Risk/High Volatility, edited 2026-10-21; Topstep Labs, edited 2026-10-20

  Micros: Ten micros count as one mini, and you can hold minis and micros together inside the combined cap ("10 micros = 1 mini"); a full-size contract such as GC or CL counts as one mini."When your EOD equity reaches a scaling trigger threshold, your limits automatically increase the next trading day", and "Scaling triggers are cumulative - once you reach a higher tier, you retain those limits even if your balance fluctuates": the calculator takes the tier from your highest close. A funded account starts at its base size whatever the evaluation ended at.On sim funded accounts the drawdown locks at the start + $100 once you profit beyond it by $100, or at once when you request a payout, whichever comes first; evaluations never lock.The daily loss limit is a soft breach: it pauses trading until the next 6:00 PM ET session.The 300K numbers are V2, for purchases from Aug 27, 2026; V1 accounts keep a $6,000 Flex drawdown (Daily: $5,000) and a smaller or no daily loss limit. Its rows share their ends ("$0 to $1,500", "$1,500 to $3,000"), and "When your End of Day equity reaches a scaling trigger, your limits increase the following trading day": the calculator gives the higher row at the round number. A Select Flex payout before the lock threshold locks the drawdown at $300,100 "once the payout is approved".Sources: Select Flex and Select Daily Payout Policies, edited 2026-10-17; 300K Select Account, edited 2026-10-19; Rules: Trailing Max Drawdowns, edited 2026-10-15; Rules: Daily Loss Limit, edited 2026-10-17; Rules: Supported Trading Products / Assets, edited 2026-10-18; Essential Trading Rules Overview, edited 2026-10-17

  Micros: The Pro page prints the sim funded cap as "3 mini / 3 micro", "6 mini / 6 micro" and "9 mini / 9 micro", against 30/60/90 micros in the evaluation; the calculator takes the printed micros, the stricter reading."After first payout, MLL moves to $50,100 and remains static" (and $100,100 / $150,100). No daily loss limit. Legacy Pro accounts keep the old 5/10/15 minis.MFFU's drawdown explainer says the end-of-day trail locks at the start + $100; the Pro page names only the payout. The calculator trails until a payout, the stricter reading.Since April 17, micro metals have a lower cap of their own: 3, 5, 10 and 15 micros on 25K, 50K, 100K and 150K; SI, HG, PL, NG and QG are restricted from trading for now.Sources: Comprehensive Look into Redesigned Pro Plan, edited 2026-10-14; Legacy Pro Plan Sim-Funded and Live Account Highlights, edited 2026-10-20; End of Day (EOD) Drawdown Explained, edited 2026-08-24; Cross Instrument Policy, edited 2026-08-24; Futures Instrument List, edited 2026-08-24

• Live (Path to Live) (not in the calculator)When Alpha calls a trader to live, all qualified accounts close: one live account per qualified account with a payout, starting at $0 with 1/10, 2/20, 4/40 or 6/60 (25K to 150K) until the end-of-day Max Loss Limit ($1,000/$2,000/$3,000/$4,500) reaches a $0 balance, then 2/20, 4/40, 8/80 or 12/120, with a scaling daily loss limit of 30% of the account.Source: Path To Live Structure, edited 2026-08-21

The tier comes from the last close. The firms that say when set a scaling tier from the end-of-day balance and don't raise it mid-session (Topstep's Live limits come back only after the Friday close), so enter the balance the session started from, not the one on screen after a winning trade. Tradeify keeps a Select tier once a close reaches it, so there the tier follows your highest close.

A shared edge gets the smaller row. Where a firm's chart puts one balance in two rows (Topstep's 100K lists $2,000 in "$1,500 - $2,000" and "$2,000 - $3,000"), the calculator takes the smaller allowance, except where the firm says a row starts when the balance reaches it (Tradeify's 300K).

Fitting a stop means staying above the line. A size fits when one stop-out leaves the balance above the daily loss limit and above the max loss floor; a loss that lands exactly on a limit counts as hitting it, since touching the max loss limit ends the account.

Micros count by the firm's ratio. Most firms count ten micros as one mini; where a firm says otherwise, its plan says so in the rules above.

Slippage, gaps and commission. The loss is counted at the stop price; a fast market, a gap or per-contract fees make a real stop-out larger.

Intraday highs. A limit that trails intraday follows open profit too; enter the highest balance the account has touched, open profit included, or the room shown is too generous.

Lower caps in volatile markets. Firms can cut the contracts allowed on some products around news or in high volatility (Topstep lists its risk adjustments by product); those cuts aren't in the calculator.

Payouts. A payout can move a max loss limit (Topstep's XFA goes to $0) or a scaling tier down with the balance; enter the balance and highest balance after the payout.
