Minimum Account Size

Minimum Account Size

At EdgeClear, we aim to make funding your trading account straightforward.
​
  • For standard contracts, we recommend starting with $5,000.
  • If you plan to trade Micro contracts only, the recommended minimum is $1,500.
​
That said, the right account size ultimately depends on your goals, trading style, and the markets you choose. Some products naturally require more capital due to margin requirements, and your intended number of contracts also plays a role.

As a best practice, if you have available risk capital, we suggest funding at a level that covers at least the full Initial Margin per contract for the markets you want to trade. This approach provides greater flexibility and helps you manage your positions with confidence.
