This trade uses 20% of your $500 daily loss limit on Classic. 5 losing trades like it in one day would reach the limit.
Your overall floor on Classic $10K is $9,000 of equity. It never moves.
How it's calculated
Lots = money at risk / (stop loss in pips x pip value per lot). A lot is 100,000 units of the first currency, and a pip is 0.0001, or 0.01 for pairs priced in yen. Pip values in other currencies are converted to US dollars at the day's reference rate. Lot sizes are rounded down to 0.01, so the money at risk shown is what you would actually risk.
The daily loss limit is measured on equity, so open positions count against it. Each day it is 5% of your equity at the start of that day on Classic and 4% on Direct. The figures here use the account size, which is your equity on the first day.
