FTMO 10k Lot Size and Drawdown
On a $10,000.00 account, risking 2% ($200.00) with a stop of 20 pips, USDJPY sizes to 1.58 lots. One pip on 1.00 lot is $6.3167. The loss at that rounded size is $199.6084, with no spread and no commission.
These are the same FTMO 1-Step and 2-Step percentages as the $100,000.00 example, applied to $10,000.00 of initial simulated capital. The how-it-works page lists $10,000.00 among the challenge sizes. The objectives page demonstrates the percentage with a $100,000.00 example, not a $10,000.00 example. The calculator opens on USDJPY at $10,000.00 with a 20 pip stop.
USDJPY contract: 100,000 units per 1.00 lot. 1 pip = 0.01. A 0.01 lot is $0.0632 per pip, a 0.10 lot is $0.6317, and 1.00 lot is $6.3167. Values in USD use USD/JPY 158.31 on 2026-10-15. Minimum lot 0.01, step 0.01. The lot rounds down, so the loss at the stop stays at or under the risk when spread and commission are left at zero.
The risk table for USDJPY uses stops of 18, 36, 72 pips. On $10,000.00 at 2% those three stops size 1.75 lots, $198.9767 at the stop; 0.87 lots, $197.8397 at the stop; 0.43 lots, $195.5657 at the stop.

Firm rules
Rules checked on 2026-10-15. Purchase-date coverage is not stated on this page. Figures below are FTMO's published percentages of initial simulated capital applied to $10,000.00. The trading objectives page works the 1-Step and 2-Step examples on a $100,000.00 account and does not print a separate dollar table for every size. The how-it-works page lists challenge sizes of $10,000.00, $25,000.00, $50,000.00, $100,000.00 and $200,000.00.
2-Step daily loss amount is 5% of initial simulated capital: $500.00 on $10,000.00. FTMO subtracts that amount from the balance at 00:00 CE(S)T. On day 1, while that balance is still $10,000.00, the equity floor is $9,500.00. A later midnight balance moves the floor. The $500.00 amount stays tied to the initial capital. Equity, including open profit or loss, swaps and commissions, cannot drop below the floor.
2-Step maximum loss is 10% of initial simulated capital: $1,000.00 on $10,000.00. The floor is static at $9,000.00.
1-Step daily loss amount is 3% of initial simulated capital: $300.00 on $10,000.00. Day 1 floor is $9,700.00. The 1-Step maximum loss is also $1,000.00, and it trails the highest balance recorded at 00:00 CE(S)T. The floor can rise and cannot fall. Day 1 floor is $9,000.00.
FTMO Instant uses a 3% daily loss and an intraday trailing 10% maximum. That program is not in the dollar figures above.
Maximum lot: FTMO states that it does not set a universal position-size limit or a cap on risk per trade. Daily loss and maximum loss still apply. The note is not a symbol-by-symbol lot table, and it does not say every lot size will be accepted by the platform.
