How to read this

The daily loss limit is a budget: it must cover every planned stop-out of the day, including commissions. Max contracts = DLL ÷ (allowed losses × (stop × tick value + commission)). Size above that and one normal losing day breaches the limit.

Note that some firms count open unrealized losses against the DLL intraday (Earn2Trade does) — a position can suspend the day before you close it. Budget the stop distance, not your hopes for it.
