See the risk between trades.
A single position can look sensible while the combined book is concentrated. Model open and planned losses together before adding another trade.
Build the whole-book loss scenario.
Use a start-of-day reference balance so realised P/L and planned risk are not counted twice. All amounts below use the selected account currency.
Trade-risk rows
Correlation groups are your declared thesis labels, not a market-data calculation. For example, long EUR/USD and short USD/JPY can both be labelled "USD weakness" and will be counted together.

reference balance + realised P/L - entered trade riskEvery open and planned row is counted at its full entered risk. Planned trades are not probability-weighted and realised profits do not increase the daily loss allowance.
loss / reduced equity x 100 = gain needed to recoverA loss is measured from the reference balance, while recovery starts from a smaller number. This is why recovery percentage rises faster than drawdown percentage.
