Free Prop Firm Tool
Prop firm risk buffer planner
Use a firm's stated daily-loss and drawdown boundaries to set smaller personal operating limits. Enter every value in the account's currency, then test whether existing exposure and a proposed trade still fit the plan.
This is a conservative planning tool. It does not calculate a firm's official rule status or replace the current written account rules.
Frequently asked questions about prop firm risk buffers
Does this planner calculate my official prop firm rule status?
No. Firms can calculate daily loss and drawdown differently, including balance, equity, floating P&L, commissions, swaps, reset times, and trailing thresholds. This is a personal planning tool.
Why should my personal limit be smaller than the firm limit?
A buffer can leave room for normal execution variation, open exposure, costs, and a losing streak without treating a hard account boundary as usable trade capacity.
