How to read this

The two left numbers tell you how many trades you can afford to lose in a single day (daily-loss limit) and across the whole evaluation (max drawdown) at your chosen risk per trade. The right column estimates how many trades it takes to reach the profit target at your expected R per trade.

Expected R per trade = (WinRate × R:R) − (LossRate × 1). Negative or near-zero expected R means the math doesn't work — adjust win rate, R:R, or strategy.

Prop firms vary on how they calculate daily loss (closed equity vs floating equity), trailing vs static drawdown, and which strategies are allowed. Read the firm's specific rules.
