Real risk capital = account balance − drawdown floor
Max risk per trade = remaining buffer × 10% (e.g. $2,500 × 10% = $250)
Contracts = max risk ÷ (stop in points × $ per point), rounded down
Recalculate from the remaining buffer after every losing day. Keep your own daily stop well inside the firm's limit.
Follows your highest balance in real time, including open profit.
Watch: Floating gains you give back still raise the floor.
Recalculated from the closing balance once per day.
Watch: Intraday spikes don't move it; a bad afternoon still counts.
Stays at one fixed balance and never moves.
Watch: Simplest to manage; profit becomes extra cushion.
Trails until it reaches a set level, then stops.
Watch: Until it locks, treat it like a trailing floor.
On intraday trailing: run to +$800 open, exit at +$100 → balance +$100, floor +$800. You lost $700 of room on a winner. Plan where you take profit or trail.
Required total = best day ÷ consistency %
$2,000 best day at 50% → you need $4,000 total. Steady size beats one oversized win.
