Your daily floor, max floor, buffered STOP line and the largest position a full stop can survive — computed from Topstep's published rules: $1,000 (2%) daily (of initial size, anchored to balance); $2,000 (4%) max (trailing, locks at initial); target $3,000 (6%) on closed balance.

Topstep defines its limits in dollars: Daily Loss Limit $1,000 (2% of the account size; an objective, not a violation — hitting it flattens positions and locks trading until 5 PM CT), Maximum Loss Limit $2,000 (trails your highest end-of-day balance, never moves down, locks at the starting balance), profit target $3,000. Consistency target (Topstep art. 8284208): your single best day must stay at or below 55% of the profit target; exceeding it is not a violation — the target rises until the best day is back under the cap. The calculator models this (engine v0.2.2, E-14) and shows the raised target when it applies.
