Drawdown Tracker
Measure your daily and trailing drawdown against your prop firm's limits. Spot the caution zone before the account is disqualified automatically.
Input
The highest balance your account has reached since funding — anchors the trailing maximum drawdown.
Most prop firms freeze this value at the previous day's NY close.
Real-time status
You're comfortably within both limits. Keep risk per trade ≤1% to preserve the buffer.
How this is calculated
today = (start-of-day equity − current equity) ÷ start-of-day equity × 100 · from peak = (peak equity − current equity) ÷ peak equity × 100
The two figures answer different questions and use different anchors. Today's drawdown is measured against the equity you began the day with, which is the number a daily loss limit is written against. The overall figure is measured from the highest equity the account has ever reached.
The peak used is the highest of the recorded peak, the starting balance and current equity, so the overall drawdown cannot read as negative after the account makes a new high.
Both are floored at zero: a day in profit reports no drawdown rather than a negative one, matching how a firm's rule is enforced.
Each figure is then banded against the limit you entered. Below 60% of the allowance is reported as safe, 60% or more as a warning, and reaching 100% of the allowance as breached.
