How much could ignoring my daily loss limit cost me over a month?

How this is calculated

• This is a hypothetical projection built entirely from the numbers you enter, not a prediction of your actual future results.
• It assumes the pattern you describe, a fixed overage amount on a fixed number of days per month, repeats steadily. Actual trading results vary trade to trade and month to month.
• The goal is to make the compounding cost of "just this once" violations concrete. A loss limit that gets ignored a few times a month isn't a rare exception, it's a recurring cost with an actual dollar total attached.
• If this number is uncomfortable, the fix is enforcing the stop-trading rule earlier in the day, not raising the limit to match what you're already doing.
