Shark Futures Max Contract Size
The Simple Answer
Shark Futures sets max positions by challenge type and account size: Basic and Basic Plus challenges share identical position limits from 2 contracts on the $25K tier up to 15 on the $150K tier, while Instant PRO starts smaller at 1 Mini and scales up to 7 Minis.
PRO funded accounts, once earned through a challenge, retain the same Max Positions as the Basic or Basic Plus challenge that produced them.
How Position Limits Work by Challenge
Basic Challenge
Max Positions run 2, 5, 10, and 15 across the $25K, $50K, $100K, and $150K tiers, paired with a Trailing Max Drawdown of $1,000, $2,000, $3,000, and $4,500 respectively, and a 40% consistency rule with no Daily Loss Limit.
Basic Plus Challenge
Uses the identical Max Positions per tier as Basic, but replaces the consistency rule with a fixed Daily Loss Limit of $600, $1,250, $2,500, and $3,750, alongside a slightly different Trailing Max Drawdown of $1,000, $2,000, $3,500, and $5,000.
Instant PRO
Starts smaller than Basic or Basic Plus at each matching size: 1 Mini on $25K up to 7 Minis on $150K, with Trailing Max Drawdown of $1,250, $2,000, $4,000, and $6,000, and a 20% consistency rule at each tier.
PRO Funded Accounts
Once you pass a Basic or Basic Plus challenge and reach a PRO funded account, the funded account retains the same Max Positions as the challenge that produced it, shown on Shark Futures’ homepage pricing cards as a ratio such as 2/20 for the $50K tier.
Final Thoughts
