Rules you set yourself — nothing to verify against a firm; the arithmetic is the same engine that passes 198 independent vectors.

For self-funded traders: set the daily loss you would stop at and the maximum drawdown you would pause at. Common choices: 2–3% daily, 5–6% maximum. The defaults below are examples, not recommendations.
