Yeah mine says the same thing .. it made no sense at all .. you mean that is roughly equivalent to pip drawdown? So 1213% means you can be down about 1000 pips & still be ok?

Have you downloaded my excel spreadsheet .. it is still not rright, but it is close .. I find it very useful as you can put in acct size, leverage and then a max pip loss value, like 1500 .. and it will tell you the max lots you can have open. Or vice versa. But I need more experienced people to check it over, I think one of the formulas may still be off.

My demo acct is now $897k. If it gets to $1 mill next week, that will be a double in 7 weeks.
