The Cards System
FairTicks uses NANO, MICRO and MINI cards to structure position size. No leverage, no margin, no liquidation.
How cards work
When opening a position, you select how many cards of each type you want to commit. The total tick value of your position equals the sum of all cards used.
| Card | Tick value (USD) | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| NANO | $0.10 | Conservative sizing, fine-grained control |
| MICRO | $0.50 | Standard intraday positions |
| MINI | $1.00 | Higher conviction positions |
You open BTCUSDT LONG with 5 NANO + 2 MICRO + 1 MINI.
Tick value = (5 × $0.10) + (2 × $0.50) + (1 × $1.00) = $2.50 per tick
If price moves +10 ticks in your favor → profit = +$25.
Why cards instead of leverage
Leverage is the #1 reason traders fail prop firm evaluations. With cards, your risk is always proportional to the cards committed. No margin call, no liquidation, no surprise. The system is structurally anti-yolo by design.
Card limits
Each account has a maximum number of cards available. Each market also has its own per-card limit (you can't put 100 NANO cards on a low-liquidity instrument). All limits are visible in the trading interface before execution.
