# RONIN SHIELD — Tactical Equity Sentinel
### Military-Grade Account & Prop-Firm Capital Defense System for MetaTrader 5
**NEVER BLOW ANOTHER FUNDED ACCOUNT TO EMOTIONAL REVENGE TRADING.**
Passing a prop firm challenge (FTMO, Funding Pips, etc.) requires discipline, but maintaining it under emotional stress is where 90% of traders fail. One revenge trade or one missed stop-loss can instantly breach the 4% or 5% maximum daily loss limit, destroying months of hard work and hundreds of dollars in evaluation fees.
**Ronin Shield** is your automated risk officer. The moment human psychology fails, the Sentinel executes cold-blooded capital defense.

### 🛡️ CORE DEFENSIVE ARSENAL
1. **Hard-Stop Daily Loss Limiter**
- Monitors closed profit/loss PLUS open floating drawdown in real-time.
- Breaching your threshold triggers an instant emergency lockdown: **all open positions are instantly closed at market, and all pending orders are purged.**
2. **Daily Profit Lock (Keep Your Gains)**
- Lock in your daily target (e.g., +4% or +$500). Once reached, your profits are protected from greed and overtrading.
3. **Total Drawdown Guard (Static / Trailing)**
- Protect your overall account equity. Choose between **Static** (from starting balance) or **Trailing** (trailing high-water mark peak equity) modes.
4. **Persistent Account Lockdown**
- Daily lockouts remain active until **00:00 Broker Server Time** (fully automatic daily reset).
- Any new positions or pending orders attempted while locked are **reversed and eliminated within milliseconds.**
- Survives terminal restarts and chart timeframe changes via internal memory persistence (No DLLs, No external files).
5. **Tactical Head-Up Display (HUD)**
- Sleek, ultra-lightweight dark-mode cockpit displaying mission-critical metrics:
- Today's Net PnL (Closed + Floating)
- Remaining Daily Loss Buffer
- Total Drawdown Floor
- Server Time & Reset Countdown
- Color-coded Sentinel Status: [● NORMAL] / [● WARNING (<20% buffer)] / [● LOCKED]
- Press **[H]** key to toggle visibility at any time.

### ⚡ PRO-GRADE PROP FIRM COMPATIBILITY
- **Account-Wide Protection from a Single Chart:**
Attach Ronin Shield to just ONE chart (any pair, any timeframe). It automatically monitors and executes across ALL traded instruments, manual orders, and 3rd-party EAs across your entire account.
- **Zero-Config Server Time Reset:**
Synchronizes natively with your broker's server clock (`TimeTradeServer`), perfectly aligning with standard prop-firm midnight rollover schedules.
- **High-Performance Hybrid Monitoring:**
Runs an ultra-low latency architecture combining millisecond timers, tick monitoring, and immediate trade transaction event hooks (`OnTradeTransaction`).

### ⚙️ QUICK START SETUP
1. Attach **Ronin Shield** to **one chart only** (e.g., EURUSD or XAUUSD, M1 or H1).
2. Ensure **"Allow Algo Trading"** is enabled in MT5.
3. Set your parameters:
- **Limit Mode:** Choose Money ($) or Percent (%)
- **Daily Loss Limit:** e.g., `4.0` (%) or `400` ($)
- **Total DD Limit:** e.g., `8.0` (%) or `800` ($)
4. Leave it running in the background (or on your VPS) and trade with absolute confidence.

### ⚠️ IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL NOTES
- **Execution Model:** Due to native MetaTrader 5 platform architecture, terminal applications cannot physically disable chart buy/sell buttons prior to click. Instead, if an order is placed during an active lockdown, Ronin Shield detects it in milliseconds and immediately liquidates it at the current market price. Spread and minor slippage costs will apply. Do not attempt to force trades while locked.
- **Single Chart Requirement:** Do not attach multiple instances of Ronin Shield across different charts on the same account. One chart protects the entire account.
