Several accounts · rotation · what Pro adds

The same trades, spread. A five-loss day lands as two, two and one.

Same day, same five trades, same −$2,500. One of the two is still trading tomorrow. Illustrative · the blog's example

A named set, in turnEach new trade goes to the account the rotation has up next. Trade four goes back to the first.
Advances on the tradeLogging a trade on the next account advances the rotation automatically. Several rotations can run at once.
Spreads the risk, never reduces itThe same trades, the same total. Without a rotation, a losing streak lands on one account and can take it out. A rotation spreads those losses across your accounts.

Maximum drawdown

One account, three floors. The drawdown rule, measured the way your firm measures it.

Staticfrom the starting balanceRoom left today$21,040
Trailingdaily close · follows the high-water markRoom left today$4,938
Trailing, lockedstops climbing at the starting balanceRoom left today$11,040

The same 31 closed trades, the same $10,000 limit, ending at $111,040. The floors are not interchangeable, and neither is the room they leave. Illustrative

StaticThe floor sits at the starting balance minus the limit. Profit gives you more room.
TrailingThe floor follows your high-water mark, at the daily close or after every closed trade. Profit raises the floor instead.
LockedEither can stop climbing once it reaches the starting balance.

Every screen that reports your room left computes it from the floor your account is actually on, in real money, on closed trades. The one floor a journal cannot see is named below. Static or trailing, in full →

The boundaries

Two rules it doesn't compute. Because the logged trades don't provide the data for it.

Some futures firms trail on unrealized equity: run $4,000 up in an open position, give it back, close flat, and your floor is $4,000 higher than when you woke up. Vink cannot see that. It holds a realized result per closed trade and nothing in between, so on an intraday account it will show you more room than your firm does. Trailing at the daily close and after every closed trade are both modeled; if your rules page says the threshold updates on unrealized equity, keep an extra eye on your firm's dashboard.
No single day worth more than X% of total profit. Not tracked as a rule. The P&L calendar and your daily figures already show the shape of the profit clearly enough to eyeball. Consistency rules differ per prop firm and are not always disclosed.

One open trade, closed flatIllustrative

Open equity: up $4,000, then flat at the close
The firm's floor: +$4,000 · trails unrealized equity
Vink's floor: unchanged · no closed trade moved it

Twenty trading days, one of them carrying the monthIllustrative

The day: 61% of the month's profit
What Vink shows: the calendar and the daily figures: the shape, not the verdict

Every planPhase chains and prop rules, with the full stats, findings and the simulator.
Pro addsUnlimited accounts, and the rotations that decide which one is on today.
Not on a prop account?Everything except the phase chains works the same on your own capital. The targets and limits are numbers you set.

Vink computes your rules from the trades you log, so its numbers can differ slightly from your firm's. Always keep an eye on your prop firm's dashboard: that is the one that counts.
