Phidias Propfirm Max Contract Size
The Simple Answer
Phidias Propfirm sets max contracts by account line and size, from 2 E-mini on the $25,000 Express to Live account up to 17 E-mini on the $150,000 Fundamental or Premium account, with Live accounts starting smaller and extensible on request.
Phidias publishes its contract limits directly on its official rules page, broken out by account line: Express to Live, Fundamental, and Premium.
How Contract Limits Work by Account Line
Express to Live (E2L)
This line runs from 2 E-mini contracts on the $25,000 account up to 9 E-mini on the $150,000 account. Once converted to a LIVE account from E2L, the limit resets smaller: 2 lots from a $25K origin up to 5 lots from a $150K origin, and the static loss limit is “extensible,” growing with cumulative LIVE credits from validating more E2L accounts.
Fundamental and Premium
These two account lines share identical contract limits at each size: 10 E-mini on $50,000, 14 E-mini on $100,000, and 17 E-mini on $150,000, each convertible to 10x in micros.
Size Extension on Live Accounts
For LIVE accounts funded via the Phidias Wallet, the default position size starts at 1 mini / 10 micro contracts. To increase authorized size, a trader must submit a written request by email to support, and the Risk Management team evaluates the trader’s risk profile before accepting, refusing, or adjusting the maximum authorized size.
Final Thoughts
Phidias Propfirm’s Fundamental and Premium lines offer the highest published contract limits, while Express to Live starts smaller and converts to an even smaller, extensible Live account limit once validated.
