Trade The Pool: Daily Pause (daily loss limit)

ConditionalWarningHidden ruleVerifiedUpdated Jun 5, 2026

A daily loss limit branded 'Daily Pause' (configured per-account as RPD, Risk Per Day): 2% of buying power on day-trade, 3% on swing. It's measured on current equity (including unrealized P&L) minus the day's starting realized balance. A 'Bypass Button' lets you choose to keep trading after hitting it; reaching the pause halts you (unless bypassed) but does not itself breach the account.

The gotcha

Because it includes unrealized P&L, a large floating swing can trip the Daily Pause even if you never realize the loss.
