How to use the comparison
The number is only useful when the rule behind it is clear.
Start with the loss model. A static maximum loss, an end-of-day threshold and a real-time trailing threshold behave differently. Check whether the limit follows balance, equity or a high-water mark.
Then check the target. A published target can apply to one phase, several phases or a particular account model. It is a condition of the evaluation, not a forecast of returns.
Finally verify the date and source. Use the change history, open the rules database and read the provider’s current terms before paying.
