Find Current Market Limits

Open Market Exposure Caps for the current list of tradable markets, their categories, maximum leverage, and exposure caps. Search by market name or symbol to find an asset. By default the page shows All Products: each market’s cap range across every challenge product and account size. Choose a Product and an Account Size to see the exact caps for that account. The page also shows that account’s Account Exposure Limit when one applies, and for Elite, its Market Group Caps on NAS100, SP500, US30, gold, and oil. The selection is saved in the page link, so you can bookmark or share the caps for one product and size. The table uses the platform’s market configuration. Check that page for current values when planning a trade; this guide explains the rules without copying limits that can change.

How Exposure Is Calculated

A market exposure cap limits the combined open notional across your own accounts of the same challenge product and account size trading that market. Your matching accounts share one allowance. Other users have separate allowances, even when their accounts have the same product and size. Elite accounts are the exception: each Elite account has its own allowance for each market, counting only that account’s position. Your other Elite accounts of the same size do not use up its capacity, and a reduction frees capacity on that account immediately rather than at the next refresh. See Elite Accounts. Competition accounts have a separate allowance from your other accounts. Your competition accounts with the same product and size share that competition allowance for each market. Each allowance uses the configured cap for that product, size, and market: competition exposure does not reduce the capacity available to your purchased accounts, and purchased-account exposure does not reduce competition capacity. Competition orders are still rejected if they would exceed their own allowance. Exposure uses the full position value, not just the margin used. Long and short exposure add together rather than offsetting each other. For example, $100,000 of long exposure and $50,000 of short exposure contribute $150,000 toward your combined cap. These amounts illustrate the calculation, not a market’s configured limit. An order that would increase combined exposure beyond the applicable cap is rejected without resizing. The exposure cap does not block reducing or closing a position and does not force positions to close. Capacity freed by a reduction becomes available at the next exposure refresh, approximately 10 seconds later. Exposure is valued at the incoming fill’s execution price. The separate hourly opening-notional budget for each account and market remains unchanged. On the order ticket, the percentage size slider tops out at the smaller of the size your available margin supports and your remaining exposure capacity for that market. The estimate uses the current order price; the engine checks the actual fill. If you type a size larger than that remaining capacity, a note under Size shows how far over the cap the order is, with Use Max to fill in the largest size that fits. When no capacity is left, the note says the cap is reached. Because the remaining capacity is an estimate, you can still submit the order; the engine rejects it at fill if it would exceed the cap. A position keeps the same exposure group while it remains open, including when you add, reduce, or reverse its size. Retiring a challenge product does not move existing exposure into another group. After you fully close the position, a new position uses the current product grouping.

Read the Cap Table

  • Max Leverage is the market’s maximum leverage. Your account’s rules can impose a lower limit. Elite accounts have higher leverage and their own exposure caps on NAS100, SP500, US30, gold, and oil; with Elite selected, the column shows the Elite leverage. See Elite Accounts.
  • Exposure Cap is the configured per-user notional ceiling, not the remaining capacity available for your next order.
  • With All Products selected, a range with an asterisk means the cap varies by challenge product and account size. The range shows the smallest and largest configured caps; each value applies separately to each user’s matching accounts, or to each Elite account on its own.
  • No Cap means market exposure enforcement is disabled. Available margin, account rules, and other order checks still apply.
For your account’s configured Maximum Position Size, sign in, select an account, and hover over the market’s leverage badge. Read the Trading Guide for how that ceiling differs from your remaining buying power.
