How the daily loss is measured
From the day's starting balance or equity, and whether open trades count. The same 5% can be two different rules.
Whether the max loss moves
A static floor stays put; a trailing one follows your best balance and can fail you while you're in profit.
What happens at payout
First-payout gates, splits that change, and checks that re-run when you withdraw.
