Remaining Maximum Loss buffer

Maximum Loss does not reset after a payout. On Challenge (2-Step) the floor is a static 10% of initial balance (equity must stay at or above 90% of start). Enter lifetime closed P/L since start — not today's session — plus payouts taken. Open P/L counts toward the floor. Published static-floor math only; not a prediction.

Equity floor
Current equity
Room to floor now
Room if flat

Floor = initial × (1 − 10%). Equity = initial + closed P/L since start + open P/L − payouts taken. Room if flat ignores open P/L. A payout lowers equity; it does not re-anchor the floor. Closed P/L is lifetime since start, not today's session. Open P/L is included in room now only when the recorded rule counts it toward the floor.

The floor stays a static 10% of initial balance. The split is 80%. Run your own win rate and average R against the full rule set before treating a withdrawal as banked.
