Most Tradara accounts carry two loss rules at once, and they are enforced independently. Daily Loss governs how much an account can lose within a day, while Max Loss governs the account's overall floor. Tradara displays the cushion remaining on each for the selected account, so you can see how much room is left before either one is reached.
Daily Loss is measured against the start-of-day balance and current equity when a daily limit is supplied for the account. Max Loss is measured against either an absolute floor or a relative maximum-drawdown value, depending on the account's terms.
Each has a progress bar with a used and remaining value. Check both before adding risk, and remember that clearing one does not clear the other — a comfortable daily cushion tells you nothing about the maximum-loss cushion.
Used-loss values update when the required balances, equity, limits, and market marks are all available. A blank bar means at least one of those inputs is missing rather than that no limit applies.
Open the account's expanded risk metrics and read Max Loss used and remaining. This is where a trailing arrangement shows up, since it is reported through the same maximum-loss cushion.
Tradara can display Maximum drawdown breached when that state is reported, and a lockout reason mentioning drawdown, maximum loss, or trailing should be treated as an enforced breach state. Read the lockout reason before attempting another order.
Do not try to bypass either rule, and do not attempt to reconstruct the full trailing calculation from balance changes alone — use the terms supplied for your account as the authority on how it is computed. If the remaining cushion looks wrong, record the displayed values before raising it.
