Daily Risk Limit Planner
Compare an entered loss allowance with realized-loss magnitude, open stop-risk reserve and planned new risk. The page performs transparent arithmetic in one account currency; it does not monitor a broker account or infer a firm rule.
Enter one loss-budget window
Use one currency and enter zero explicitly when a component does not apply.
Every monetary field must use this same currency.
The balance or equity reference you choose for converting the entered allowance.
Choose how the single entered allowance is supplied.
The planner converts this percentage of reference capital into one entered allowance.
Enter a positive loss magnitude. A realized loss of 200 is entered as 200, not -200.
The loss you choose to reserve to the planned stops of positions already open; not floating P/L.
The additional account-currency loss you want to place beside the current entered budget state.
Entered risk-budget state
Entered Loss Budget model 1.0.0.
| Component | Entered or derived amount |
|---|---|
| Realized loss magnitude | — |
| Open stop-risk reserve | — |
| Planned new risk | — |
| Projected committed total | — |
How the entered loss budget is calculated
The planner first converts the entered percentage or amount into one allowance. Realized-loss magnitude and open stop-risk reserve form the before-plan committed amount. Planned new risk is then added to show the projected state.
Utilization divides the applicable committed amount by the entered allowance. A value above 100% and a negative remaining amount describe an arithmetic overage; they do not predict an account outcome.
Worked entered-budget example
| Input | Example | Derived result |
|---|---|---|
| Reference capital and allowance | USD 20,000 and 5% | USD 1,000 entered allowance |
| Realized loss | USD 200 | Added as a positive loss magnitude |
| Open stop-risk reserve | USD 300 | USD 500 committed before plan |
| Planned new risk | USD 250 | USD 750 projected committed |
| Projected state | USD 1,000 - USD 750 | USD 250 remaining; 75% utilized |
Assumptions and limits
- The tool has no clock. It does not determine when a broker, account or personal loss window begins or resets.
- Realized loss is entered as a non-negative magnitude. Profits are not netted because the page cannot infer the rule that would permit netting.
- Open stop-risk reserve is the amount you choose to reserve to planned stops. It is not floating P/L, expected loss or a prediction that stops will be reached.
- The page does not distinguish balance-based, equity-based, static, trailing, intraday or end-of-day rules.
- Slippage, gaps, fees, financing, manual interventions and losses beyond entered amounts remain outside the result unless you include them in an entered component.
- The result does not label any allowance safe, acceptable, conservative, aggressive or recommended.
Frequently asked questions
- It compares one entered loss allowance with a realized-loss magnitude, an open stop-risk reserve and a planned new-risk amount, all in one account currency.
- The field represents loss magnitude. Enter 200 for a loss of 200. The model adds that magnitude to the other amounts committed against the entered allowance.
- No. It is the amount you choose to reserve to the planned stops of open positions. The page does not read current prices or floating account P/L.
- Yes. Choose account-currency amount. The entered amount must be positive and no greater than the reference capital. The page also displays its percentage of that capital.
- No. Netting rules differ by account, broker, firm and personal process. This version accepts a non-negative realized-loss magnitude and does not infer a profit offset.
- The projected state reads At entered limit and the signed projected remaining amount is zero. Above the allowance, the page retains the negative remaining value and shows the positive overage.
- No. Prop-firm definitions can differ by balance, equity, reset time, trailing method and account phase. Enter only an allowance that you have verified independently.
- No. It has no broker connection, price feed, trade execution or alert function. It is a browser-side calculation from the values you enter.
