DRAWDOWN HEADROOM PLANNER

Test the floor before the order.

Bring the exact limits and current floor from the provider's dashboard. Then model current headroom, every open stop and the trades you are considering in one account-currency scenario.

FIRM-NEUTRAL PLANNING MODEL

Test the room before the next trade.

Enter every value in the account's own currency. This model reserves existing stop risk first, then tests the planned risk against the smaller distance to the daily or overall floor.

LOAD AN EXAMPLE

These are invented teaching cases, not any firm's rules.

Closed trades and booked charges already reflected.Current equity

Balance plus current floating P&L.

2. Programme rule model

Enter the programme's static overall percentage.

3. P&L and stop risk

Closed P&L since reset

Use a negative number for a realised loss.Remaining open risk

Further loss from current equity to all existing stops.New planned risk

Full loss if every proposed trade reaches its stop.

ABOVE BOTH MODELLED FLOORS

The current and entered full-stop scenarios stay above both simplified floors. This does not clear any other programme rule.

WHAT THIS MODEL DOES

One explicit, conservative stop scenario

Daily floor = start-of-day balance minus the entered daily allowance.
Current daily status compares that floor with the selected balance or equity reference.
Static overall floor = account size minus the entered percentage.
Trailing mode uses the absolute current floor supplied by the user.
Worst case = current equity minus remaining open risk minus new planned risk.

VERIFY BEFORE USING

Daily reset time, timezone and treatment of trades held through reset.
Whether balance, equity, the higher of them, or realised plus floating P&L defines loss.
Whether commissions, swaps, platform fees and slippage count before or after the floor test.
How and when a trailing floor rises, whether it locks, and whether it trails intraday or end-of-day values.
Consistency, best-day, news, weekend, minimum-day and payout rules that this calculator does not model.
