How this is calculated
Max risk per trade in dollars equals account size multiplied by your risk percentage. Daily loss limit in dollars equals account size multiplied by your daily loss percentage.
Approximate losing trades before your limit equals your daily loss limit divided by your max risk per trade, rounded down.
Your watchlist is restated as entered. Trading only symbols already on a plan you wrote before the market opened is a common way to avoid chasing an unplanned setup mid-session.
Build this before the market opens, not during a trade. A plan written after you're already in a position isn't a plan, it's a rationalization.
