Prop Guardian Risk Manager
MT4/MT5 drawdown guard for prop firm challenges and funded accounts, focused on daily drawdown, maximum drawdown and account protection rules.
- Real-time daily loss monitoring
- Total drawdown limit enforcement
- Automatic trade closure when limits are approached
What this product is built for
Prop Guardian Risk Manager is built for prop firm traders who need a drawdown guard, not another entry signal. It watches daily drawdown, maximum drawdown, open risk and remaining account headroom so a single uncontrolled session is less likely to become a rule breach.
The product page targets commercial evaluation intent: traders should understand exactly how the MT4/MT5 risk manager fits a challenge or funded-account workflow. It supports account protection and automated guardrails, but it does not guarantee a pass, remove slippage or make an unsafe strategy safe.

Who It's For

Typical Use Cases
- Monitoring daily drawdown and maximum drawdown during prop firm challenges or funded account trading.
- Adding account protection rules before open risk, lot size or correlated trades exceed the plan.
- Creating warning thresholds and emergency actions when equity approaches a configured rule boundary.
- Pairing a prop firm risk manager with Telegram alerts and local account monitoring for better oversight.
Workflow Fit
- Translate the prop firm rule set into numeric daily loss, maximum drawdown, exposure and reset-time inputs.
- Test warning thresholds and emergency close behavior on demo or a low-risk account before relying on live protection.
- Monitor equity, margin, open risk and alerts throughout the session so account protection is active, visible and auditable.
Deployment prerequisites
- Use the MetaTrader version and product build that match the supported MT4/MT5 badges.
- Enter the account rules, drawdown thresholds, lot limits, and emergency-close behavior before relying on protection.
- Test first on demo, strategy tester, or a low-risk account before moving the workflow to production.
Setup checklist
- Mirror the prop-firm limits in the inputs, including daily reset timing, maximum loss, max lot exposure, and the action to take near a breach.
- Run a demo or low-risk rehearsal with the same symbols, leverage, and account currency you will use in the evaluation account.
- Pair it with account monitoring and Telegram risk alerts so a threshold event is visible before it becomes an account problem.
Buyer objections to check
- Confirm that the prop-firm rule set can be translated into numeric daily-loss, overall-loss, lot-size, and emergency-close thresholds.
- Use it as a guardrail, not as an entry signal, loss-recovery system, or substitute for position sizing discipline.
- Check how your broker reports equity, margin, commissions, swaps, and symbol suffixes before relying on live account protection.
Limits to understand
- It cannot reinterpret changing prop-firm terms, remove slippage, or guarantee that every gap will close at the exact threshold.
- It does not decide trade direction or make a losing strategy safe; it only enforces the limits you configure.
- Emergency actions should be tested during quiet market hours before the tool is trusted around news or rollover.
Buyer FAQ
Can Prop Guardian Risk Manager prevent every prop-firm violation?
No. It enforces the configured thresholds inside MetaTrader, but broker execution, gaps, slippage, platform downtime, and rule changes still need to be considered.
Should it replace my trading risk plan?
No. It works best when your lot sizing, daily loss budget, and stop rules are already written down and the tool acts as an automatic guardrail.
What should I test first?
Test the daily reset time, equity calculation, close-all behavior, symbol permissions, and alert delivery on demo or a small live environment before using it on an evaluation account.
