Discipline check: Equity, not balance

Most prop firms measure drawdown on equity, including floating losses. If you only watch closed balance, you can breach a rule without ever closing a losing trade.

If today's swings tested your limits, measure them properly: the drawdown calculator shows what a losing streak really costs.
