82% of funded accounts are lost to rule violations, not bad trades. One revenge trade past the daily loss cap. One news spike while you are away. One forgotten trailing drawdown rule on a $100K account.
Prop Firm Shield monitors your drawdown in real time and closes all positions before you breach the limit. It costs less than a single failed challenge.
This is NOT a trading strategy. It does not place trades, generate signals, or interfere with your edge. It is a risk management utility that sits between you and your prop firm's rules, intervening only when a violation is imminent.
HOW IT WORKS
- Attach to any chart (monitors the entire account, not just one symbol)
- Select your prop firm preset OR enter custom rules
- Set your account size
- Trade normally. Prop Firm Shield only acts when a rule violation is imminent
Works with any strategy, any symbol, any timeframe. Compatible with other EAs.

IMPORTANT NOTES
This utility does not open trades. It only monitors and protects. Only one EA can be attached per chart in MT5. Attach to a separate chart when used alongside a trading EA. Does not protect against weekend gaps or market halts. News event names follow your MT5 terminal language setting.
FREE VERSION AVAILABLE
A free version with daily drawdown monitoring and auto-close is available separately on the Market. Try the free version first to see the dashboard and protection in action, then upgrade to Pro for news filter, presets, session control, risk enforcement, and trailing drawdown.
DISCLAIMER
This software is a risk management tool only. It does not guarantee protection against losses, drawdown breaches, or account termination. Market gaps, slippage, execution delays, disconnections, or extreme market conditions may prevent proper operation. The developer assumes no liability for trading losses or financial damages. Always verify that all parameters match your prop firm rules before live use. Use at your own risk.
