Trading Bitcoin within prop firm limits
Bitcoin can move several percent in an hour, so size matters more than direction. Base your lot size on the stop distance in dollars: with a $1,000 stop on BTC and 0.5% risk on a $100K account ($500), the position is 0.5 BTC.

- Weekends have thinner liquidity: reduce size.
- Avoid holding through major US data when trading paid accounts.
Which programme for Bitcoin traders
The 1-Step allows trading and holding positions over the weekend and has no time limit, which suits crypto swing trades. The 2-Step evaluation pauses trading from Friday 20:45 UTC to Sunday 22:00 UTC, crypto included; once funded, weekends are open again.
