Advanced blocks hidden

Your real capital is $1,500, not $25,000: no daily loss limit is stated, 20 end the account. Size every trade so a normal losing streak cannot reach that limit, and set a daily limit of your own.

The loss side

your edge: +0.13R · $9 a trade on average
Losing trades in a row to hit the daily limit
—no daily limit stated

The firm states no daily limit: yours is the only one.

Losing trades in a row to lose the account

End of day: the floor rises with your best closing balance, so after a run of winning days it takes fewer.

The longest losing streak to expect is worked out once the simulation has run: it needs the length of a typical run.

“All lose next” is the chance that the coming trades are all losers. The other columns are the chance that such a streak happens at least once: in a day of 3 trades and in 100 trades. The typical run is known once the simulation has run. All are exact, from your win rate.

At the close

It follows your end-of-day best balance, $1,500 below it, until it reaches the starting balance.

Profit before it locks
$1,500

About 54 days at your average day ($28). Until then, a losing run after a good day costs twice: trade half size until it locks (“Build a buffer first” above).

Kelly and the risk of ruin

what the formulas say
Full Kelly8.3% · $125
Half Kelly4.2% · $63
Quarter Kelly2.1% · $31
Your risk5.0% · $75

Kelly = win rate − loss rate ÷ reward = 0.45 − 0.55 ÷ 1.5 = 8.3% a trade, applied here to your real capital, the $1,500 drawdown. Full Kelly grows fastest with deep swings on the way; most traders use a quarter to a half of it. You are at 0.6 Kelly: above half, losing runs get long.

Risk of ruin, trading on forever
3.7%

The chance a losing run eats the whole drawdown (20 losses of room) if you traded these numbers without end, on one account.

Lost before the target, simulated
…

The real figure for this account: its daily limit and its targets included.

Risk of ruin ≈ e^(−r × U), where U is the losses of room (the drawdown ÷ the risk of one trade) and r solves p · e^(−r × reward) + q · e^(r) = 1 (p the win rate, q the loss rate). Kelly and ruin assume trades of the same size, one after another.

Each run trades your numbers under the account's rules: its daily loss limit, its max drawdown (static, trailing, end of day or locking at the starting balance as the firm states it), its targets, its minimum days and its consistency rule, and under your own limits. A rule the firm does not publish is left out and named. Rules of the accounts are data of Oct 5, 2026. A calculation, not a promise. Check your own days in the consistency calculator
