What a losing day looks like here

A losing day usually does not come from one catastrophic trade. It comes from a choppy session where breaks keep failing: a stock makes a new high, the position goes on, the move fades, and the stop-loss does its job. Repeat that a few times and the day is red before the costs are even counted.

The three things that bound it

• Your per-trade stop-loss caps what any single position can cost you.
• Your maximum concurrent positions caps how much can go wrong at once.
• Your maximum daily loss is a hard kill-switch — when it trips, the algo stops for the day.

You set all three, and the backend enforces them. That is the point of the design: on the days the strategy is wrong, the damage is bounded by numbers you chose in advance, when you were calm.

If losing days are not something you are prepared for, intraday options are not the right place for your capital — and no amount of automation changes that.
