Account size is only the starting point
A headline account size is not the amount you can lose. Compare the overall loss allowance, daily limit and calculation method together. A $100,000 account with a $10,000 loss allowance and a $50,000 account with a $2,000 allowance provide very different room to trade. Neither amount is a cash deposit paid to you.
Initial overall loss allowance in an illustrative 10% plan. Daily rules still apply.
Static versus trailing
A static overall floor stays anchored to the initial account. A trailing floor can rise when the reference balance or equity reaches a new high. End-of-day and intraday trailing rules use different observation times. Reaching the same balance later can therefore produce a different outcome.
Check the exact definition
Ask whether unrealized P/L counts, when the day resets, whether the floor stops trailing, and how withdrawals change it. The allowance shown in this directory is the initial overall limit; it is not a real-time risk calculator.
