TradeDay Metals Contract Counts + Coupon Code AUDIT

TradeDay's current permitted-products page includes an important sizing exception: SIL Micro Silver is counted using the mini/standard contract allowance because of a technical limitation. A product with “Micro” in its name should therefore not automatically inherit the larger micro-contract number displayed for an account.

Coupon summary

The live metals policy was modified 6 October and reviewed here on 9 October 2026. It lists tier-based metal position limits and specifically identifies SIL's counting treatment. Check both product permission and the active allowance for your program and stage.

The coupon affects the eligible evaluation charge. It does not expand the instrument list, alter contract counting or override an account-specific position restriction.

Read the live product policy

The permitted-products guide currently shows these metal limits across account types:

It also lists the SIL mini/standard-count exception. Older cached search excerpts describe February restrictions and a four-lot limit; those excerpts differ from the live October page. Read the actual page and dashboard before relying on an old search result or saved screenshot.

A policy change should trigger a review of existing templates, alerts and notes. It is easy to update a spreadsheet while leaving an older size preset in the platform. Check the order-entry settings that could actually submit a quantity, rather than treating a revised note as proof of a revised configuration.

Product names and account counters serve different purposes

A contract's exchange specification describes the instrument itself. A firm's position counter determines how that instrument consumes the allowance on a particular account. Keep both fields in a planning record. Using only a name such as “micro” collapses two different checks into one assumption.

Start with the exact symbol and expiration, then verify that it matches the intended contract. Similar names and adjacent platform search results can refer to different products. Record the exchange specification beside the firm's current eligibility rule, along with the date checked. This also makes later support questions much more precise.

For example, a quantity field containing six contracts should prompt two separate questions: is six within this account's permitted count, and what dollar exposure would six of this particular instrument create? A positive answer to either question alone does not resolve the other. This is a verification workflow, not a recommended position size.

Funded-stage limits can be lower

The official pricing cards show that a $50K Fast Pass evaluation permits five minis, while its Funded Sim starting limit is two. Those stage-specific limits still matter when reading the broader metals table. A general tier number should not be treated as permission to exceed a lower current account allowance.

The separate Fast Pass position-limit guide explains progression and scaling. This article focuses on product classification. If the policy table and platform counter appear inconsistent, obtain the firm's account-specific instruction before increasing size.

Keep the confirmation practical: account program, current stage, exact symbol, current limit and proposed quantity. Do not ask only whether “silver is allowed,” because that leaves the contract-counting question unresolved. Save the response with its date and recheck after a stage change.

Build a product-specific pre-trade record

1. 1Identify the intended symbol and contract month.
2. 2Open the current permitted-products policy and note its revision.
3. 3Compare the product's counting rule with the active account allowance.
4. 4Check existing positions and working orders before entering another quantity.
5. 5Resolve discrepancies with official support before submitting the order.

This record can include account stage, source link, check date and any lower dashboard limit. Keep pending orders visible: an unfilled order is different from an open position, but it can change exposure when filled. Avoid treating a flat position screen as a complete description of the order book.

When purchasing, select the intended program, enter AUDIT and verify the final amount. Buying a larger nominal tier solely to obtain a larger counter also increases fees and changes other limits; compare the whole account specification before committing.
