Most prop firm challenges are not lost by a bad strategy. They are lost by one bad day: a trade without a stop, a revenge trade, an Expert Advisor that keeps opening positions after a losing streak. Gardien watches your whole account and steps in before a rule is broken.
What it does
- Daily loss limit, measured from your firm's daily reset hour (server time), as a % of the initial balance or of the day-start reference (balance, or the highest of balance and equity at the reset).
- Max loss limit: static (from the initial balance) or trailing (from the equity peak or the balance peak), with the option to stop trailing at the initial balance.
- When a limit reaches 90 % (adjustable) it closes all positions, deletes pending orders and locks the account: anything opened afterwards, manually or by any Expert Advisor, is closed at once. The daily lock ends at the next reset; the max loss lock stays until you clear it.
- Early warning at 70 % (adjustable), warning for positions without stop loss, and a "worst case" warning when hitting every open stop would break the daily limit.
- Profit target progress and trading-days counter. Optional: close everything and lock when the target is reached, so a passed challenge cannot be ruined.
- Optional high-impact news filter (MetaTrader 5 economic calendar): positions opened in the minutes around the news are closed; optionally also the ones already open.
- Optional Friday close for firms that do not allow holding over the weekend.
- Popup and push notifications to your phone.
- Locks, peaks and the day-start reference are saved: they survive a terminal restart.
A panel anyone can read
A large coloured sign tells you, in plain words, whether you can trade: YOU CAN TRADE (green), CAREFUL (orange), LOCKED UNTIL TOMORROW / LOCKED (red), NOT PROTECTING (red: Algo Trading is off), TARGET REACHED (blue).
Coloured bars show today's loss, total loss and the target, each with a white mark where the automatic close happens, and a sentence such as "You can lose 420.00 USD more today before the auto-close". Technical details are one click away. Panel in English or Spanish.
How to use
- Open any chart (one without another Expert Advisor) and attach Gardien.
- Allow Algo Trading (button in the toolbar and in the Expert Advisor settings). Without it, Gardien cannot close anything; the panel shows NOT PROTECTING.
- Enter your challenge's initial balance, limits and daily reset hour (server time). Example: if your firm resets at midnight Central European Time and your broker's server is two or three hours ahead of GMT, the reset hour is 01:00.
Gardien only needs one chart to protect the whole account.
Important
- Gardien never opens trades on a real or demo account. In the Strategy Tester it opens sample trades (with stop loss) only so that you can see the locks working in the free demo; this can be turned off.
- It checks every second and on every tick, but a price gap (weekend, news) can move equity past a limit before any close is possible. That is why it acts at 90 % and not at 100 %. No tool can guarantee that a limit will never be exceeded.
- MetaTrader 5 does not allow an Expert Advisor to prevent other programs from sending orders. While locked, Gardien closes every new position immediately, which costs the spread.
- Every firm has its own rules and they change. Check your firm's current rules and set the inputs accordingly. Gardien is not affiliated with any prop firm.
