Phoenix Drawdown Meter
- Utilities
- Version: 1.20
- Updated: 21 September 2026
Prop firm and personal risk rules are usually built around a specific measure of drawdown (most often a daily limit, reset at a fixed time), and it's easy to lose track of exactly where you stand against that limit while you're trading.
Phoenix Drawdown Meter tracks drawdown as a percentage of your account balance at the start of the trading day (a midnight reset), not floating or all-time drawdown, so the number on screen matches the measure most daily risk rules actually use.
How it keeps risk visible
- Live gauge of daily drawdown percentage from the midnight balance
- Three configurable thresholds (green/yellow/red) matching your own risk limits
- Smoothed needle movement, so the reading doesn't jump erratically tick to tick
- Alert when drawdown crosses into your red zone, with a configurable cooldown
Use Phoenix Drawdown Meter to:
- Keep a constant, at-a-glance check against a daily drawdown limit
- Get alerted before you breach a prop-firm or personal daily risk rule
- Avoid manually recalculating drawdown from your starting balance during the session
How to use it
1. Attach to any chart.
2. Set your three thresholds to match your own or your prop firm's daily risk limits.
3. Enable the alert so you're notified before, not after, you breach your red zone.
