PropFirm Shield Essential
- Utilities
- Version: 1.1
- Updated: 8 October 2026
The daily loss limit is what actually kills prop firm challenges. Not the profit target — the daily loss. One over-leveraged night, one forgotten pending, one gap.
PropFirm Shield Essential is the free guard that watches the ONE rule that matters most — and locks your account before you breach it.
Attach it to ANY chart. It monitors the whole account — all symbols, all magics, manual trades, copiers, other EAs.
- DAILY LOSS GUARD — your limit (% of challenge size), your firm's reset hour (server time). Locks before the breach.
- LOCKDOWN — closes all positions, deletes all pendings, blocks anything new until next reset.
- PROTECTIVE BUFFER — triggers before the limit so slippage doesn't cost the account.
- WATCHDOG TIMER — keeps guarding even when the market is closed and no ticks arrive.
- STATUS DISPLAY — equity, day PnL, floor and next reset, always visible on chart.
- STATE PERSISTENCE — survives restarts and VPS reboots.
WHY FREE?
Because every trader deserves a seatbelt. This is the full daily-loss engine — not a crippled demo.
The paid version — PropFirm Shield — adds the complete arsenal: max loss (static + trailing for Apex/TopStep), firm presets, AUTO-SL for naked positions, profit lock, panic button, min trading days, worst-case equity, graphical panel and push alerts.
Always test on a demo account first. This tool manages rule breaches; it is not a trading system.
