Prop Firm Drawdown Calculator
Estimate daily and maximum-loss floors from the rules and account values you enter, then verify them with the firm.
Entered-rule scenario
This scenario fixes the max floor from the account size entered. Verify the firm's actual balance, equity, and reset rules.
Free, no sign-up, nothing leaves your browser — all math runs locally.
Informational scenario only, not investment or risk advice. Outputs depend on your inputs and may not reflect fees, slippage, gaps, taxes, or provider-specific rules.
Model entered prop-firm limits in plain numbers
Prop-firm rules vary by program, account, platform, and date. This calculator applies the values you enter to a simplified daily-loss and maximum-drawdown scenario. It is not connected to the firm's authoritative account status.
- Daily loss scenario — subtracts the entered percentage of account size from the daily reference balance or equity you provide.
- Maximum drawdown scenario — either remains fixed from the entered account size or follows the peak equity entered. Some firms use end-of-day values, unrealized equity, lock points, or other formulas this simplified model does not capture.
With the current inputs, the estimated daily floor is $95,000.00 and the static max floor is $90,000.00. The closer entered floor leaves $3,500.00. Verify the formula, reset time, open P&L treatment, and official status with the firm.
Static and trailing definitions vary
A trailing model can reference intraday or end-of-day peaks and may stop moving at a stated lock point. A static model can still have separate daily rules. Use the firm's current official terms rather than assuming one label fully defines the calculation.
This calculator is a manual snapshot. In the platform, TradeInsights can compare user-configured rules with the latest successfully processed account evidence from an eligible connection. Provider data can be delayed or incomplete, and alert timing and delivery are not guaranteed.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between static and trailing drawdown?
In this simplified calculator, static uses a floor fixed from entered account size and trailing subtracts the entered allowance from peak equity. Firms may use intraday or end-of-day values, balance or equity, and different lock points, so verify the current official formula.
Is the daily loss limit calculated from balance or equity?
That depends on the firm and program. Enter the official daily reference balance or equity for the scenario, and confirm whether open P&L, commissions, resets, or other adjustments count. TradeInsights does not determine the firm's authoritative status.
Can I model a specific firm's rules?
You can enter current published values as a simplified scenario, but firms use different formulas and can change terms. Verify the result in the official dashboard and rules. TradeInsights is not affiliated with or endorsed by any prop firm named in search terms or user-entered labels.
Does the calculator know whether my account breached a rule?
No. It only compares the numbers entered using the simplified formulas shown. The firm's official dashboard and terms are authoritative, including resets, intraday equity, open P&L, consistency rules, and other adjustments.
Can I get live alerts instead of a snapshot?
TradeInsights can compare user-configured rules with the latest successfully processed evidence from an eligible account connection. It is not an authoritative live risk system; provider data, processing, and notifications can be delayed or unavailable, and alerts cannot prevent a breach.
