Liquidation explained

The number worth watching is the gap, not the level. PropStax shows both, in three places:

• The sticky status bar on the Account detail page, with the drawdown left in dollars and as a percentage.
• The “Closest to liq.” tile on the Dashboard, for whichever active account is nearest its floor.
• The dashed red line on the equity curve chart, showing where the floor sat on each day.

How the drawdown left is colored

The drawdown left is your current balance minus the liquidation level. Its bar is colored by how much of your drawdown allowance is left:

• Green — half or more.
• Amber — 30% to 50%.
• Orange — 15% to 30%.
• Red — under 15%. Under 10%, the dollar figure turns red as well.

Because the grades are shares of your allowance, they scale with account size.

The displayed level is what your broker enforces

PropStax pulls the liquidation rules directly from your broker. Some brokers add a small cushion above the rule floor; others don’t. Either way, what PropStax shows is what your broker is actually enforcing on your account at that moment.
