Drawdown guard
How many losing trades in a row do this firm's limits actually allow at my risk?
Full-risk losses to the daily stop
5 trades
One full-risk trade uses 20% of the daily limit.
Losing streaks assume every loss is exactly your per-trade risk. Trailing drawdown rules differ by firm; check the firm's own definition.
How it is computed
The daily allowance is your account times the daily loss percent; the total allowance is the account times the max drawdown percent. Dividing each by your planned loss per trade gives the number of ordinary stop-outs each limit survives, which is a more honest read of a rule than the percentage alone.

Asked about this calculator.
Short answers in the same plain arithmetic the calculator uses.
Why count losses instead of reading the percent?
A 5 percent limit sounds generous until it is three losses at your actual size. Counting trades prices the rule in the unit you experience, which is losing trades on ordinary days.
What is the difference between static and trailing drawdown?
A static limit measures from your starting balance and stays put. A trailing limit follows your equity peak, so profits raise the floor under you. Firms state which model applies; this calculator prices the static model.
Is the daily limit measured from balance or equity?
Most firms measure from the day's starting equity, including floating positions. Check your firm's exact definition, because an open trade can breach a limit before it closes.
This tool provides an indicative comparison of spreads and estimated execution costs based on periodic snapshots from connected data feeds and normalized trade assumptions. Displayed values are not tradable quotes and may differ from prices available on any provider's live accounts. Spreads vary by account type, server, liquidity conditions, and time of day. Competitor names and marks belong to their respective owners; no affiliation or endorsement is implied. The "Average Prop Firm" benchmark is a computed composite of sampled competitor feeds, not the published pricing of any specific firm. Cost estimates use a normalized trade scenario and do not constitute financial advice or a prediction of trading results.
