How much of today's profit could I give back before I'm negative for the day?
Enter Today's Numbers
Your Result
Enter today's profit and your next trade's risk to see how much cushion you actually have left.
How this works
Losing trades to erase equals today's profit divided by your risk per trade, rounded down, plus one more loss to actually cross into negative territory.
This only accounts for the profit figure and risk amount you enter manually. It does not read your broker account or track trades automatically.
A high give-back risk on the next trade does not automatically mean you should skip it. It is a prompt to check whether the trade's size fits how much of today's gain you are willing to put back on the table.
Pair this with a fixed daily loss limit so you always know your absolute stop-trading number for the day, not just how exposed today's profit is on this one trade.
