Monday and Tuesday count as one trading day
On Rithmic, Monday's shortened session is combined with Tuesday's session and counts as a single trading day. The trade date does not roll over at the Monday close.
Your realized P&L does not reset at the Monday close. It carries forward into the evening reopen, and so do your limits.
Your PDLL (Personal Daily Loss Limit) and your prop firm's daily loss limit are both measured against Monday and Tuesday as one combined trading day, not as two separate sessions.
Profit works the same way. A PDPT (Personal Daily Profit Target) you hit during Monday's session still counts against whatever you trade on Tuesday.
