PropGuardian
Closes your positions before the prop firm closes your account.
Most funded accounts do not fail on the strategy, they fail on one bad day. PropGuardian tracks daily and overall loss in real time, warns early, closes everything just before your firm’s limit and then locks the day. It is the protection layer that runs behind every strategy on my own FTMO account.

What it looks like on the chart
Normal state
The panel shows equity and balance, how much of today’s limit is used and the exact equity at which the day would end. Below are the overall drawdown floor and your firm’s reset rule. You always see how much room is left without doing the maths yourself.
Early warning
At 77 percent of the daily limit the line turns orange and one warning goes out: popup, push to your phone or e-mail, once a day. That is the moment you can still decide yourself whether to cut size or end the day.
Limit reached, day locked
Once the set limit is reached, PropGuardian closes every position and deletes pending orders. In the test that was 14 positions in 672 milliseconds. After that the day is locked: a new trade in the test was closed 47 milliseconds after it opened.
Survives restarts
State is stored per account. If the terminal or the VPS restarts, the lock is still active instead of vanishing with the restart. The panel adapts to light and dark charts.
What it does differently
Presets per prop firm, armed below the limit
FTMO, FundedNext, The5ers, FundingPips, Alpha Capital, Goat Funded, Maven and fully custom. Every preset fires half a point below the daily limit and one point below the firm’s max drawdown. You want to be stopped before the firm stops you.
Daily reset like your firm’s
Broker midnight, Central European midnight or 5 pm New York, with daylight saving handled automatically. No GMT offset to change by hand twice a year.
Three drawdown models
Static from the starting balance, trailing from the balance high or trailing from the equity high. The way firms actually measure max drawdown.
Works with PropSizer and PropMirror
While the day is locked, PropSizer shows 0 lots and PropMirror opens no new copies.
What it does not do
- It takes no trades and improves no strategy. It limits the damage of a bad day.
- On a weekend gap or an opening gap the loss can exceed the setting, because no price trades in between.
- Check your firm’s rules yourself. The presets reflect September 2026.
What you need
- MetaTrader 5
- Algo trading enabled in the terminal
