How to pass without breaching

  • Keep single-day losses well under $1,100: the daily limit ends the day, not just the trade.
  • The end-of-day trail rewards locking profit before the close; an intraday give-back still costs you tomorrow's buffer.
  • Plan for at least 5 trading days; small green days both satisfy the minimum and smooth your equity curve.
