Chosen-price comparison
A distance, not an exit.
At a chosen 48 CU/share, the distance from an invented 50 CU/share purchase is 2 CU/share. Multiply by 80 shares to get a price-only scenario loss of 160 CU.
The 48 CU/share figure is an invented comparison, not a fill, stop guarantee or floor under the price.

04 / comparisonInvented example boundary
Invented price-only scenario limit: 200 CU. Price-only scenario loss for 80 shares at the chosen 48 CU/share: 160 CU. Difference: 200 CU − 160 CU = 40 CU under boundary. The boundary is arbitrary, not advice, and neither an execution price nor a cap on actual loss.
Why a limit can pass on paper
The invented 160 CU price-only scenario is 40 CU below an invented 200 CU example boundary. That only compares two numbers under stated assumptions; it does not bound actual loss.
When there is a fill
A separate invented completed sale at 46 CU/share produces a different result. Follow that reconciliation on Fills.
