See how far your account is from its start, how much room is left today and before the floor, and the gain you would need to get back.

Use equity, which includes open positions: the daily loss limit is measured on equity, so a losing position counts before it is closed.

Today you have used 0% of the $500 daily loss limit, and 0% of the $1,000 maximum loss.

The floor is $9,000 of equity and never moves. Room today is the smaller of what is left of today's limit and the distance to the floor.

Why a loss needs a bigger gain to recover

A gain is measured on the smaller balance left after the loss, so getting back needs more than the loss itself: a 5% drawdown needs 5.3%, a 10% drawdown needs 11.1%, a 20% drawdown needs 25.0%, a 30% drawdown needs 42.9%, a 50% drawdown needs 100.0%.

Drawdown here is measured from the starting balance, which is how the maximum loss is set.
