Day Trading Profit Estimator

Example - Trade Limit

For this example we adjust the Trade Limit to max $15,000 per trade.

If you look at the trades from Day 63 in this example, we started with an account balance of $29,808.86 (two trades of $14,904.43 each). We made a net profit of $538.05 for the day which was added to our account for a new balance of $30,346.91. This new balance would result in two trades of $30,346.91 / 2 = $15,173.46 for Day 64. However, we set a trade limit of $15,000 per trade. Therefore, from this day on, despite our account size is increasing, our daily trade limit will be maxed at no more than $15,000 for each trade.
