First it divides the Balance into 3 then multiplies that by 50% which actually closes trades when there is a 17% loss not 50%. If that number is reached then it will close trades in that currency. After the balance is now 17% less is may close trades in other currencys depending on how bad off they are.

Let me give an example:
Say you are trading EURCHF, EURGBP, and GBPUSD on a $10,000 account and you have the EA set to protect the equity when FloatPercent is set at 50% and Portion is set to 3. First divide $10,000 by 3 and you get $3,333 then 50% of that is $1,666. $1,666 is how much any single currrency is allowed to lose before protection kicks in and closes trades for that currency. If that happens then your new balance is now $8,334. Divide that by 3 and multiply by 50% and your new protection is at $1,389. If another currency is lossing by that much then Equity Protection will be kicked in for that currency as well and your new balance is $6945 which is a total loss of about 30% from your starting balance.
