Futures trading guides

How to calculate futures position size

Position sizing in futures trading means calculating exactly how many contracts to trade based on your account size and how much you're willing to lose if the trade goes against you.

The formula: Position Size = (Account × Risk %) ÷ (Stop in ticks × Tick value)

For example: $50,000 account, 1% risk, 10-tick stop on MES ($1.25/tick) = $500 ÷ $12.50 = 40 contracts.

TrakEdge calculates this instantly for every futures contract across CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX, ICE and Eurex.

Prop firm risk calculator — what to check

Every prop firm evaluation has three core limits you must track in real time:

  • Daily loss limit — how much you can lose in a single day before the account is locked
  • Maximum drawdown — total loss from peak equity before account closure
  • Consistency rule — some firms (Topstep, Earn2Trade) require no single day exceeds 30% of total profits

TrakEdge monitors all three as live progress bars while you plan each trade, preventing costly rule violations.

What is MFE and MAE in trading?

MFE (Maximum Favourable Excursion) is how far a trade moved in your favour before you exited. MAE (Maximum Adverse Excursion) is how far it moved against you before recovering.

Tracking both tells you whether you're exiting winners too early (MFE >> actual P&L) or letting losers run (MAE >> planned stop).

TrakEdge plots every trade on an MFE vs MAE scatter chart and calculates your execution efficiency score automatically.

Best futures contracts for prop firm traders

The most popular contracts for prop firm evaluation accounts:

  • MES — Micro E-mini S&P 500. $1.25/tick, 1/10th the size of ES. Best for learning and scaling up gradually.
  • MNQ — Micro NASDAQ. $0.50/tick. High volatility, fast moves.
  • MCL — Micro Crude Oil. $1.00/tick. Good for news-driven trading.
  • MGC — Micro Gold. $1.00/tick. Strong trending behaviour.

TrakEdge includes full specs for all micro and standard contracts across every major exchange.
