Contracts a risk budget of $250 per trade allows — 10% of the $2,500 drawdown. Round down, never up.
The mistake that kills 50K accounts is sizing against the balance instead of the rule. $500 is 1% of this account — and 20% of everything you are actually allowed to lose.
The one thing to watch
Your drawdown line follows your highest unrealised equity. A trade that runs $500 in your favour and closes flat still costs you $500 of cushion — permanently. Open profit is real money to this rule.

What is the maximum drawdown on a Alpha Futures 50K account?
$2,500, measured as intraday trailing — it follows your highest unrealised equity, and it stops moving once it reaches $50,000.
What is the daily loss limit?
Propbook's preset for this account carries no daily loss limit, which means a single bad session can consume the whole $2,500. Your own daily stop is the only one that exists — set one.
What is the profit target?
$3,000, or 120% of the drawdown you are given.
How many contracts should I trade on a 50K account?
Fewer than you think. With a risk budget of $250 per trade, a 20-point MNQ stop allows 6 contract(s). One NQ instead of MNQ multiplies that risk by ten.
Does Propbook track this account automatically?
Yes — pick Alpha Futures 50K from the presets and the drawdown type, maximum loss and target fill themselves in. It is free, with no account limit.
