A static dollar floor equal to 2× the daily loss limit at start — effectively 4% of buying power (day trade) or 7% (swing), measured on equity (projected balance, including unrealized P&L). Once the account reaches 3× the daily loss in equity, the max drawdown moves up to the initial balance and locks there; falling below it terminates the account.
The gotcha
Until you build the 3×-daily-loss buffer the floor sits below your start; after that it ratchets to breakeven and stays — you can never give back below your entry capital.
