How it’s calculated
Allowance = start × limit % (or the fixed amount). Floor = reference − allowance, where reference is the start-of-day value or, when provided and higher, the intraday high-water mark. Remaining = current equity − floor.

Balance or equity at start of day?
Rules differ. Pick the one your rulebook or program specifies; equity includes open positions.
Why do I need floating equity?
Without it, the calculator cannot know how much of today’s allowance open trades already use.
What is the high-water mark for?
Some rules trail the day’s highest equity. If yours does, enter it to raise the floor.
