Risk rules

Arming the three limits, firm presets, and what happens when you tighten or loosen one.

Three limits per Protected account, each a percentage of Initial capital with the money it comes to shown beside it.

  • Max daily loss - measured from the Baseline captured at your Daily reset. Hitting it is a daily Breach.
  • Max total drawdown - the account-level floor. Hitting it is terminal and does not lift at a reset.
  • Max open risk - the cap on a single order's full risk. Aggregate open risk is shown and not capped in v1.
The Risk rules page: max daily loss, max total drawdown and max open risk, each as a percentage with the money it comes to.

The Reserve

Editable per account, defaulting to a tenth of the daily-loss limit. What Propcockpit gates on is the Enforced limit - Max daily loss minus the Reserve - and both numbers are shown together wherever the limit is shown.

Firm rules

Choosing a firm preset sets a ceiling as well as filling the fields. Typing looser than the ceiling leaves the ceiling in the field, in the open, with a line under it. The server clamps again against the same row, so nothing can get past it by editing a form.

An account with no firm preset has no ceiling at all - the unknown-firm case is fully supported, and nothing on the screen claims somebody checked your numbers against a firm when nobody has.

Tightening and loosening

Tightening a limit applies at once. Loosening one waits for the next Daily reset - a rule you can widen the moment it starts hurting is not a rule.

Keyboard

?
Open and close this sheet.
Escape
Stand down anything that is armed - the kill switch, an open notification panel, this sheet. It never commits anything.
Tab / Shift + Tab
Move between controls. Every one of them shows a focus ring.
Arrow keys
Nudge a focused panel around the canvas. Hold Shift to move it further per press.
Enter or Space
Activate the control that is focused, and only that one. There is deliberately no key anywhere that sends an order on its own.
