How the Drawdown Room Is Calculated
Each limit defines a floor your equity must not cross. The overall floor sits below your starting balance; the daily floor sits below today's starting balance. The room to each floor is simply your current equity minus that floor. Whichever room is smaller is the limit that binds first.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is the maximum loss a funded trading firm allows before your account is closed. Most firms set two: a daily limit measured from each day's starting balance, and an overall (max) limit measured from your initial funded balance.
The daily limit resets each trading day and is measured from that day's opening equity. The overall limit is fixed against your starting balance and never resets. The calculator shows the room to each and flags which one you will hit first.
Whichever floor is closest to your current equity. Early in an account that is up, the daily limit is often the tighter one; after a string of losses, the overall max floor can become the binding constraint. The smaller room is always the one that matters.
Yes, if you enter your live equity. Most firms evaluate drawdown on equity, not balance, so floating losses on open positions count. Enter your current equity including open positions for the most accurate room figure. Always confirm the exact rule with your firm.
