// own capital
Funded traders have a prop firm enforcing a daily loss and a max drawdown. Trading your own account, no one does, and that is why retail traders blow up faster. The fix is to become your own risk desk: set the limits on a calm day, then hold the line.
Set your own limits and see your distance to them Your rules, your account · free · nothing stored Open the calculatorA prop firm fails your account the instant you cross a line. That hard stop is annoying, but it’s the thing that keeps funded traders alive. On your own account there is no line and no enforcement, so a bad session can run until the account is empty. The account doesn’t die from one trade; it dies from the trades you take after the first loss.
EXIT CODE’s own-capital mode lets you set the two limits a prop firm would have set for you, a daily loss limit and a maximum drawdown, and shows your live distance to each, in dollars and in trades, before you place the next one.
If you trade your own capital on Fusion Markets, Blueberry Markets, or any other broker, the own-capital mode is broker-agnostic: you enter your account size and the rules you want to hold yourself to. (Both Fusion and Blueberry are ASIC-regulated Australian brokers; Blueberry also runs a funded-account program.)
I trade my own money, not a prop account. Is this for me?
Yes. The own-capital mode lets you set your own daily loss limit and maximum drawdown, the limits a prop firm would otherwise enforce, and tracks your live distance to them. You set the rules; the tool holds you to them.
What limits should I set?
That's your call and depends on your strategy and risk tolerance; this is education, not advice. Many traders anchor to the same shape prop firms use (a few percent daily, ~10% overall), but the number is yours. The point is to set one on a calm day and not move it mid-session.
Does it work with Fusion Markets or Blueberry Markets?
Yes, own-capital mode is broker-agnostic and works for any account, including Fusion and Blueberry retail accounts.
