The difference
Your limits,
inside every order.
Drag the volume: the ticket shows what the stop would cost against your daily and overall loss limit. Fit to limits sizes the order for you.
Example account. Estimate before gaps and slippage; the server checks every order.
Limit line
Every order shows the loss at your stop and what each limit would have left after it.
Fit to limits
One tap sets the largest volume that keeps the stop inside 80% of your smallest remaining limit.
Your own daily limit
Set a personal limit below the plan’s. When you reach it, new trades pause for the rest of the day.
