Day one: the account starts the day at its initial balance. "TradeWarden closes at" is the day's loss at which it closes every trade, 10% before the daily limit (the buffer is a setting).
How the daily loss is measured
Your $100,000 account starts the day with $102,000 of balance and equity (no open trades). The daily limit is $3,000 (3% of the initial balance), so your equity must stay above $99,000 until the reset at midnight server time, open trades included. TradeWarden closes everything at $99,300, 10% before the floor.
- On a FundedNext funded account, all open trades together may risk at most 3% of the initial balance (FundedNext help center, read 7 October 2026); TradeWarden's preset adds that rule when you pick Funded.
- Several open trades add up: three trades that each risk 2% put 6% at risk if every stop is hit, more than a 3% daily limit. TradeWarden adds up every open stop before a new trade and shrinks or refuses the one that would cross the limit.
