How many losses does your daily limit allow? Count them before you start.
Daily limit divided by risk per trade is how many full losses fit in one day. Each loss takes a slice of the bar.
5
full losses at 1% each
5% ÷ 1% = 5. Move the last slider as the day goes.
The math
Losses that fit = daily limit ÷ risk per trade, with both in % of the account. 5% ÷ 1% = 5, and 5% ÷ 2% = 2.5. Firms measure the daily limit from different starting points (the day’s balance or equity), so check your firm’s rules before you trade.
Your own number
Vink works this out from your own trades. From one screenshot each.
Set the daily loss limit on your account in Vink. When a day's losses reach it, Vink says so, and the calendar marks every day that went past it.
