## How much room a funded account gives you on GC

Every Get Funded Now futures account has a 3% maximum drawdown. Divided by GC's $10 tick, that is how far one contract can move against you before the account is breached. Trading your full position limit divides that room by the number of contracts.

| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| $25,000 | $750 | 75 | 2 | 37 |
| $50,000 | $1,500 | 150 | 4 | 37 |
| $75,000 | $2,250 | 225 | 5 | 45 |
| $100,000 | $3,000 | 300 | 6 | 50 |
