Max Contracts by Account Size

Explains the maximum number of mini and micro contracts each account size can hold, and how the system enforces these limits.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

To keep risk controlled and account behavior consistent, each Blueberry Futures account size has a built-in cap on how many contracts you can hold at one time.

These limits are enforced by the platform, so if you try to exceed them, your order will be rejected or not fully accepted. You won’t be able to open more than the allowed size.


Contract Limits by Account Size

  • $25,000 account

    • Max 1 Mini Contract

    • Max 10 Micro Contracts

  • $50,000 account

    • Max 2 mini contracts

    • Max 20 micro contracts

  • $100,000 account

    • Max 6 mini contracts

    • Max 60 micro contracts

  • $150,000 account

    • Max 9 mini contracts

    • Max 90 micro contracts

These caps apply to your net open exposure on that account.
The system continuously checks your open positions and prevents you from going beyond these limits.


What this means in practice

  • If you are at your max size and try to add more contracts, the platform will block the extra size.

  • You may still scale in (DCA) within these limits, as long as:

    • Your total contracts stay under the cap, and

    • You respect the separate DCA & Position Stacking rule (max 3 entries per instrument/direction).

Examples

  • 50K account – minis

    • You open 2 ES minis → system allows it.

    • You try to buy a 3rd ES mini → system will not allow you to exceed 2 minis.

  • 100K account – micros

    • You build up to 90 total micros on allowed instruments → system allows it.

    • You try to add more micros beyond that → extra size is blocked.


Relationship to the DCA & Position Stacking Rule

The Max Contracts limits are enforced automatically by the system.
However, the DCA & Position Stacking rule is a behavior rule, not a hard platform cap:

  • You can only enter the same instrument and direction up to 3 times (1 initial entry + 2 adds), even if the system would technically let you click more.
