Daily Loss Guardian Prop Firm Drawdown and Equity Kill Switch
An account wide daily loss and drawdown kill switch for prop firm challenges and funded accounts. It locks trading the instant your equity loss crosses your limit, force closes every open position — including trades opened manually or by a different EA — cancels all pending orders, and re arms itself automatically the next trading day.
Built for Prop Firm Traders Who Need to Pass and Stay Funded
If you are trading for a prop firm — FTMO, 5%ers, Finotive, FundedNext, The Funded Trader, or any firm with daily loss limits — you know the hardest rule is not the profit target. It is the daily loss cap and max drawdown that end challenges overnight.
Daily Loss Guardian is a standalone risk management utility that mounts on any chart and enforces your firm rules automatically. No discretion. No one more trade. Hard stops that work while you sleep.
Core Features
1. Hard Daily Loss Cap (Equity Kill Switch)
When equity drops below your configured percentage from the day start: every position closes instantly, new trades blocked. Works on equity, not balance — so floating P&L counts. This is the equity guard that saves funded accounts.
2. Maximum Drawdown Guard (Account Protection)
Second layer of defense. If account equity drops below max drawdown from initial balance: full liquidation, trading halted. Prevents the slow bleed that kills challenges.
3. Session-Aware Risk Scaling (Volatility Adaptation)
Automatically reduces position size during volatile sessions where prop firm accounts get blown: London Open (08:00–09:00 UTC), NY Open (13:00–14:00 UTC), London/NY Overlap (13:00–16:00 UTC).
4. Economic Calendar News Filter
Pauses trading 15 minutes before and after high-impact events (NFP, CPI, FOMC, ECB, BoE, GDP, Unemployment). Uses MQL5 built-in Economic Calendar — no external API, no subscription, no delay.
5. ATR-Based Dynamic Stop Loss (Optional Helper)
Calculates volatility-adaptive stop loss distance: ATR(14) x 2. Use as reference for manual trades or integrate into your EA.
6. Fixed Fractional Position Sizing (Reference Calculator)
Calculates exact lot size for risk per trade based on current equity and SL distance. Compounds correctly, survives drawdowns.
