Lot Size Calculator for The5ers
The5ers offers a unique scaling model for funded traders. Understanding proper position sizing within their risk parameters is essential for account growth. This calculator helps you size positions appropriately for their funding programs.
The5ers uses a scaling model—your account grows as you hit profit targets. This means your lot sizes need to scale proportionally. Starting too aggressive prevents you from surviving long enough to scale. Their instant funding programs have tighter drawdown limits (4-6%) than FTMO, requiring even more conservative sizing. Position sizing here is about longevity, not quick profits.
