Your limits, enforced — not just displayed.
Most funded accounts are not lost to a bad strategy.
They are lost to one bad session. A bad hour, after a bad morning, when the daily limit was already half gone and nobody was counting.
This counts. It sits on your chart, watches the two limits that end most evaluations, and refuses to send an order that would break one.
In 30 seconds
- It is free, and it is not a trial. No expiry, no account limit, no countdown, no pop-up, nothing that switches off after a while.
- It is not a strategy. No signals, no entries, no arrows. It never opens a trade by itself.
- You click, it checks. Every order passes one gate that asks every rule you switched on. Refused orders are not sent, and the panel says which rule stopped you.
- It sizes the trade for you. Type a stop and a risk percentage; read the lot size on the button before you press it.
- It watches the whole account. Daily loss, drawdown, open risk and exposure — measured across everything, including trades another EA placed.
- It survives restarts. A locked account stays locked. The day's baseline is not reset. Deposits and withdrawals do not distort your drawdown.
- It blocks and locks — it never closes a position by itself. Read that section below before you install it.
It cannot guarantee profits, prevent losses, or guarantee compliance with any firm's rules. Those claims are absent on purpose.
The moment it matters
It is 14:20. Your firm allows a 4% daily loss and you are down 3.1%.
The pill at the top of the panel is amber, and the banner underneath names the limit and the figure. The headroom number — the largest thing on the panel — reads what is left, not what is gone.
You take one more trade. You size it at 1% and the panel prints the lot on the button.
It loses. You are at 4.1%.
Now you reach for the next trade, because that is what the afternoon does to people. Nothing is sent. The banner is red, the pill says BLOCKED, and the sentence names the daily limit as the reason.
The account is locked, and pressing UNLOCK will not help while the limit is still breached — a hard limit clears when the account is back inside the rule, not when a button is pressed.
Your open positions are still open. This edition does not close them for you. But it will not let you add to them, and that is the trade that would have ended the account.
How it works
No black box. Here is the entire operating loop.
1. It measures
Once a second it reads your equity, balance, open positions and pending orders, re-derives the day's realised profit and loss from your deal history, and evaluates every limit you switched on.
Figures come from your broker's own pricing engine rather than an assumed pip value — correct on gold, indices, JPY crosses and CFDs, not just majors.
2. You plan
Type a stop and a risk percentage — those two, and nothing else. The panel shows the lot size, the money at risk, that risk as a percentage of the account, and the reward-to-risk ratio, all before anything is sent anywhere.
Every trade is sized from risk. There is no box to type a lot into, so no order can reach the ticket without the risk arithmetic having produced it.
3. It decides
Press BUY or SELL and the request passes through one gate that asks every rule in turn. If any refuses, nothing is sent, and the panel names the rule and the reason in a full sentence.
The spread and quote are re-read at the moment of sending, not only when you were planning.
The panel has no path to the order function at all. Every order goes through the same check. There is no "just this once", because there is no second code path to put one in.
4. It reports
If a limit is reached it blocks and locks the account, raises an alert, and records exactly what it did and why.
What is included
Daily loss limit
Three calculation methods, in percent or account currency, with a warning threshold and optional inclusion of swaps, commission and fees.
The trading day starts at your firm's own reset hour and minute, in broker server time. Firms reset at 00:00 server, 00:00 GMT or 17:00 New York, and a limit measured from the wrong boundary is measured from the wrong balance.
The day's baseline is derived from your deal history rather than remembered, so a terminal restart, an EA re-attach, a VPS migration and a mid-day deposit or withdrawal all leave the figure exact.
Maximum drawdown
From one of four references, because firms differ: your account size, the highest balance the account has reached, the highest equity it has reached, or the day's starting balance.
Static and trailing rules give different answers on the same account, so this is a setting rather than an assumption. Percent or account currency, with a warning threshold and a live floor shown on the panel.
Position size calculator
Lot size from the risk you set, priced through your broker's own engine. Volume minimum, maximum, step and tick size are all respected, and sizes round down — rounding up would quietly exceed the risk you asked for.
When it cannot produce a size it refuses and tells you why, with the numbers. It never quietly trades the minimum lot instead.
One-click market orders
BUY and SELL, with full pre-send validation, a margin check against the state the order would leave behind, duplicate-order protection and honest partial-fill reporting.
Exposure limits
Maximum concurrent open trades, maximum total open risk as a percentage of equity or in account currency, and a maximum lot per order.
Risk is measured from your positions' actual stop levels. A position with no stop is reported as unbounded risk rather than counted as zero.
Spread and quote protection
A measured wide spread blocks the order. So does a quote that is missing, zero, inverted, unsynchronised or stale — each reported by name rather than as one vague refusal.
Emergency account lock
One button, two presses, to stop yourself trading for the day. Unlocking cannot clear a limit that is genuinely still breached.
Close all positions
On a bar reachable from every tab, because the moment you need it is not the moment to go looking for it. Two presses, and it cannot be undone.
The panel
Four tabs — MONITOR, TRADE, MANAGE, LOCKS — with a state pill that answers "can I trade right now" in one word, a notifications area that summarises nothing away, and a built-in guide reachable from the panel itself.
Draggable, collapsible, hideable to a small badge, dark or light. It runs headless for VPS use.
State that survives
The trading day anchor, the day's opening values, the equity peak and the lock are all persisted — and every money figure is re-derived from deal history rather than trusted from storage. A restart, an EA re-attach and an MQL5 VPS migration are non-events.
What it does NOT do
This edition blocks and locks. It never closes a position by itself.
When a limit is breached it refuses new orders, locks the account, turns the panel red and raises an alert. Whatever is already open stays open until you close it. CLOSE ALL is one confirmed press away on every tab.
Who this is for
- Traders on a funded-account evaluation, or on a funded account, who place their own trades and need the firm's numbers enforced rather than remembered.
- Manual and discretionary traders who want a sized, checked order behind one click.
- Anyone who has ever done the daily-loss arithmetic in their head at exactly the wrong moment.
It is not for you if you want something that decides what to trade. This decides whether what you already chose is allowed.
Getting started
Attach it to any one chart. It watches and protects the whole account, so one chart is enough regardless of what you trade.
- Set your account size under "3. MAXIMUM DRAWDOWN", so drawdown is measured from the exact figure your firm uses rather than one detected from history.
- Set your firm's daily reset hour under "1. ACCOUNT AND TRADING DAY".
Those two settings do more than all the others together.
Then press ? on the panel for the built-in guide, or hover any control for a one-line explanation of what it does.
Limitations — please read
- Prop-firm rules differ between firms and change over time. This software cannot guarantee compliance with any firm's rules. Always verify your firm's current trading rules before using it.
- It cannot guarantee profits or prevent losses. It refuses orders and locks accounts; it does not predict markets.
- It never closes a position by itself. A limit breached while you are away from the screen leaves a blocked, locked account with the positions still open.
- Start-of-day equity cannot be reconstructed from history. On a cold start the panel falls back to the derived start-of-day balance and labels the figure ESTIMATED rather than quietly guessing.
- After a withdrawal, set your account size by hand. The engine cannot know whether your firm reduces the account when you withdraw.
- Give each chart its own magic number if you run more than one instance.
