Prop Firm Risk Calculator

Prop firms like FTMO, TopStep, and Quant Tekel enforce max daily and total drawdown. Enter your account size, rule percentages, and today's P&L to see remaining risk budget.

Key takeaway: If your firm allows 5% max daily loss on a $100,000 account, your daily loss budget is $5,000. After −$2,000 today, only $3,000 of risk remains before the rule fails the account.

Calculator

Daily loss limit = account × (max daily % ÷ 100). Remaining budget = limit − |today's loss| if P&L is negative; if positive, full limit still available until you give back gains.

Negative = losing day. Include open trade unrealized if your firm counts it.

FAQ

Does Profit AI track prop firm rules?
Yes. Profit AI syncs FTMO, TopStep, Quant Tekel, and other prop accounts and warns you before a rule violation based on live equity and your firm's drawdown limits.
Is max daily loss calculated on balance or equity?
Firms differ. FTMO typically measures from the day's starting balance. Always read your firm's rule PDF — this calculator assumes a simple percent-of-account-size model for planning.
