1. How Much Are Commissions?
In the MicroFutures 9k Account commissions are $0.5 per side per contract - $1 roundtrip-.
MNQ and MES $0.5 per side.


2. How is the Maximum Drawdown Calculated During My Live Account?
Maximum Drawdown is $800 and it is Trailing Drawdown. Meaning that it will take in consideration realized and unrealized profits to be calculated and it will trail until the Initial Account Balance it is met.

Ex. If you start your trading day at $9,000, then you win a trade for $300 but on the next trade you lose $100, at the end of the day, your Account Balance will be $9,200 and your Drawdown will be $8,500.

If you reach the Maximum Drawdown at any time during your trading day, the rule will be considered broken.


3. Can I Swing Trade?
Yes, you are allowed to Swing Trade, meaning that you can leave positions open during the week. Be aware that the trading week is considered to begin Sunday at 5:00 pm CT and ends Friday 3:10 pm CT.  All positions must be closed during the weekend to not violate any rules

If you would like to place a stop please use a GTC (Good till cancel) order. This type of order will remain after the market close. You are not able to place new trades or close current trades while the market is considered closed-- from 3:10 pm CT to 5 pm CT.


4. What Does Max 5 Micro Contracts Mean?
5 Micro contracts is the maximum amount of positions allowed at any moment during your MicroFutures 9k Program. You can combine the 5 positions in different markets at the same time, but you can not exceed 5 positions without breaking a rule.


5. Which Economic Releases Should I Be Flat For?
You must follow the Important/High Impact Economic News Calendar. We have created a calendar that contains the news so that every Live trader knows when they must be flat.
Failure to be flat during an Important Economic Release will be considered as a broken rule.
