Enter your trades and see where the max-loss limit sits after each one, and whether the account would survive under each drawdown rule.
The limit trails your highest balance in real time, including open profit that you didn't bank.
The limit stops trailing once it reaches $50,100.

Max open profit is the best unrealized profit the trade reached. With intraday trailing, that peak moves the limit even if you closed lower.
The rule often matters more than the trades. Here's how this exact sequence ends under each one. Click a card to switch.

Most prop-firm accounts fail on the drawdown rule, not the profit target. Knowing which one you trade under changes how you manage winners.
The limit follows your peak balance tick by tick, open profit included. A trade that runs +$1,000 and closes at +$200 still drags the limit up by the full $1,000.
The limit is recalculated from the closing balance once per day. Intraday swings don't move it, but a dip below the current limit during the day still fails the account.
A static limit never moves. Many trailing accounts also lock: once the limit reaches the starting balance (plus a small buffer), it stops trailing and behaves like a static one.
It's a max-loss limit that moves up as your account makes new highs, keeping the same distance below your peak. It never moves down, so every new high permanently raises the level you can't lose below.
End-of-day is usually more forgiving, because unrealized profit you give back during the day doesn't raise the limit. With intraday trailing, a winner that reverses can cost you drawdown room without any change to your closed P&L.
Many firms stop trailing once the limit reaches the starting balance or starting balance plus a small amount (often $100). From then on the limit stays put, so any further profit is pure buffer.
It models the common rule types, but every firm has its own details (how open profit is sampled, when the day closes, consistency rules and so on). Always confirm the specifics in your firm's rulebook.
