How much can I risk per trade without breaching my prop firm's max drawdown limit?

How this is calculated

• For a static max drawdown rule, the drawdown floor is calculated once from your starting balance and does not move, even as your balance grows above it.
• For a trailing max drawdown rule, the floor is calculated from the highest balance your account has reached, and rises each time you hit a new equity high.
• Your remaining drawdown cushion equals your current balance minus the drawdown floor. This is the total dollar amount left to lose before the rule is breached.
• The suggested max risk per trade divides your remaining cushion by the number of consecutive losing trades you want to be able to survive, so a single losing streak can't end the account by itself.
• Every firm defines "trailing" and "static" slightly differently, including whether the floor is based on intraday equity or end-of-day balance. Confirm the exact rule in your specific firm's agreement before relying on this number.
