I build indicators and Expert Advisors for MetaTrader 5.
How I work:
- Every indicator is checked for repainting: signals are decided on closed bars only, and an every-tick test confirms they do not change afterwards. - Version: 1.0
Prop Rules Monitor is a free indicator for MetaTrader 5 that shows how close a prop-firm account is to its daily loss limit and its max loss. It reads live equity, the way firms measure it. It warns you before a limit and when a limit is broken.
It only watches. It never opens, closes or changes a trade, so it works without Algo Trading.
Standalone: Everything is built in. You do not need to buy or install any other product named on this page.
Quick start
- Attach the indicator to any chart.
- Enter your firm's rules: daily loss %, what it is measured from, the reset time zone and hour, and the max loss % and type.
- Set the account size (0 takes the first deposit) and, if you like, the profit target.
- Choose the warning level. Turn on the pop-up and, if MetaTrader push is set up, the push notification.
What you see
- Daily loss limit: day start, floor, room left, % used with a bar, and the time to the reset.
- Max loss: floor and room left, static or trailing.
- Account size, equity, progress to the profit target, today's result and trading days.
- Status: OK, WARNING or BREACHED.
How it measures
- Day start: taken at your firm's reset, a time of day in a time zone (Prague, New York, UTC, UTC+3, London or server time). Daylight saving is handled.
- Daily limit: a % of the account size or of the day start. It is measured from the balance, the equity or the higher of the two at the reset.
- Max loss: static, or trailing from the highest equity, the highest closed balance or the highest end-of-day balance. It can stop at the account size. A two-stage type is also available.
- Terminal off: if it was off at the reset, the day start is rebuilt from the account history. The panel says "rebuilt".
- Peaks and the day start are kept across restarts.
Alerts
At a warning level (default 80% of a limit used) and at a breach, you get a pop-up and a push notification. The daily limit alerts once per day.

Trading involves risk. The Monitor shows measurements of your account against limits you enter; check them against your firm's own dashboard.
