How contracts count toward your limit

Ten micro contracts count as one mini contract. You can combine them within your account’s limit: one mini plus ten micros uses two mini-equivalent slots.

QM, QG, and NKD each count as one mini. MNG and MHG are not supported. A platform may display other symbols that are not available on your Boxcar account.

BoxcarScale funded accounts also follow their current position-scaling tier. Live-account permissions and costs are set out during live onboarding.
