Rulekeeper is a professional risk-management utility for MetaTrader 5, built for prop-firm traders (FTMO, FundedNext, The5ers, Apex, Topstep and any ECN account). It removes the human factor: tilt, overtrading and accidental rule violations.
WHAT IT DOES
1. Daily Loss Limit — measures the day result from the balance at the close of the PREVIOUS trading day (configurable: day-start balance / day-start equity). When the limit is hit it closes all positions, removes pending orders and locks trading until the next trading day.
2. Max Drawdown Floor — continuous monitoring of equity against three selectable bases: static initial balance, trailing balance peak (closed profit), or trailing equity peak (floating included).
3. Lot Calculator with a real difference — the lot is derived from your stop line and risk (percent or money), then CAPPED by the strictest of four limiters: your risk, the loss-streak ceiling, the room left to the daily limit, and the room left to the drawdown floor. An ordinary calculator happily prints a lot that alone breaches your daily limit — Rulekeeper refuses.
4. Overtrading protection — a cap on closed trades per day and configurable response to it.
5. News quiet window — reads the built-in MT5 economic calendar (no DLLs, no web requests) and blocks entries around high-impact events of your symbol's currencies.
6. On-chart panel — live day room, drawdown room, trade counter, verdict with lot, risk tiles (+ / − / % / money / type a number), pending and market tiles, detailed expandable frame. Bilingual RU/EN, follows terminal language.
HOW TRADING WORKS
Press a tile → place the stop line (it follows your cursor) → optionally place the entry line → press again. The order type (BUY/SELL LIMIT/STOP or market) is DERIVED from the two lines and the price — you cannot send an order whose type differs from what the tile named. Orders are sent ONLY by pressing a tile — never by a signal, indicator or timer. This is a manual assistant by design, not an algo.
WHY IT IS SAFE FOR YOUR ACCOUNT
- Active mode is safe by construction: while a base is not set (first run, closed market), no rule fires and the panel loudly reports "NO BASE".
- Every refused click names its reason on the panel and in the CSV journal: broker retcodes translated to words, no silent failures.
- State survives terminal restarts: day index, day start, peaks and locks are stored in a file + global variables.
- Day boundary is server-time configurable (default midnight), so it matches your firm's definition.
