What This Means In Practice

You can lose max $2,000 in a single day.

Your account can never drop below $97,000.

If you grow to $101,000 by end of day, the floor moves up to $98,000. Your safety net stays the same size, but it follows you up.

At 1% risk per trade ($1,000), you can take 2 losing trades before hitting the daily limit.
