Drawdown protection and equity guard suite for prop firm traders using MT5 / MT4. The project enforces daily loss limits, total drawdown rules, and equity shields with a hard kill-switch, helping traders survive funded challenges and live phases without breaking the firm's risk parameters.
Real-time equity guard with daily / overall drawdown enforcement, hard kill-switch, and full prop firm rule simulation.
Most prop firm failures are not from bad strategies, they are from one bad day that breaks a hard limit.
This project keeps you funded by:
- Watching equity tick by tick
- Closing trades before the rule breaks
- Locking the account for the rest of the session
PropFirm Drawdown Guard MT5/MT4 mirrors typical prop firm risk rules and enforces them locally before the broker server flags you.
