Description
PROPFIRM GUARD PRO
Advanced Prop-Firm Risk Management & Live Account Protection for cTrader
Monitor. Protect. Control.
PropFirmGuard PRO is a comprehensive account-level risk-management and rule-enforcement system built specifically for cTrader users trading prop-firm challenges and funded accounts.
Rather than simply displaying your drawdown, PropFirmGuard PRO continuously monitors key account conditions and can apply configurable protection actions when your predefined limits are approached or reached.
The redesigned v2.6.1 dashboard brings account status, challenge progress, risk exposure, profit protection and protection-system status together in one professional interface.
LIVE ACCOUNT DASHBOARD
See the condition of your account at a glance.
Monitor:
• Account balance and equity
• Daily profit and loss
• Current challenge or funded stage
• Guard protection status
• Daily and overall drawdown
• Trailing drawdown
• Open account risk
• Floating loss
• Risk health
• Profit protection status
• Active trading window
• Protection-system status
The dashboard is designed to give you the information that matters without constantly checking multiple calculations or screens.
DRAWDOWN PROTECTION
PropFirmGuard PRO can monitor multiple types of account drawdown simultaneously:
Daily Drawdown
Monitor your daily loss allowance against your configured account rules.
Overall Drawdown
Track total account drawdown against your maximum permitted limit.
Trailing Drawdown
Monitor trailing account limits where required by your trading programme.
Warning thresholds help you identify increasing risk before your configured limits are reached.
OPEN RISK & EXPOSURE CONTROL
Control how much account risk can be active at any one time.
PropFirmGuard PRO can monitor and enforce:
• Maximum open account risk
• Maximum risk per trade
• Maximum lot exposure
• Maximum positions on the same symbol
• Maximum same-direction positions
• Floating-loss limits
• Loss-velocity limits
• Missing stop losses
• Optional default stop-loss protection
This provides an additional account-level layer of protection alongside your trading strategy or automated cBots.
AUTOMATED PROTECTION ENGINE
The integrated Protection Engine continuously evaluates:
Daily Loss Rules
Profit Rules
Exposure Rules
Session Rules
Depending on your configuration, PropFirmGuard PRO can:
• Warn when limits are approaching
• Soft-block new trading activity
• Close positions that violate configured protection rules
• Apply hard-lock protection following major breaches
• Restrict trading during configured time windows
• Control excessive exposure
• Reduce permitted risk after profit thresholds are reached
The dashboard clearly displays whether protection is ACTIVE, whether Soft Block or Hard Lock conditions are present, and the reason for the latest trading restriction.
PROFIT PROTECTION
Protecting gains can be just as important as controlling losses.
PropFirmGuard PRO includes configurable tools for:
• Daily profit protection
• Profit-target monitoring
• Profit giveback control
• Risk reduction after reaching a profit threshold
• Daily profit caps
• Stage profit-target tracking
These controls allow traders to reduce risk automatically as their trading day develops.
CHALLENGE PHASE TRACKING
PropFirmGuard PRO includes dedicated views for:
PHASE 1
PHASE 2
FUNDED
PAYOUT
Monitor challenge progress without maintaining separate spreadsheets or manual calculations.
Depending on your configuration, the system can track:
• Starting balance
• Stage profit/loss
• Profit targets
• Trading days completed
• Minimum trading-day requirements
• Stage duration
• Funded-account size
• Profit split
• Payout target
• Payout-cycle progress
PAYOUT MONITORING
For funded accounts, the dedicated payout section helps you keep track of:
• Payout-cycle starting balance
• Payout progress
• Minimum payout days
• Profit requirements
• Profit split
• Current payout-cycle status
This gives funded traders a clearer view of where they are within the current payout cycle.
TRADING WINDOWS & SESSION CONTROL
Control when trading is permitted.
Features include:
• Configurable trading start and end times
• Weekend trading restrictions
• Friday closing controls
• Maximum trades per day
• Trade cooldown periods
• Optional position handling outside trading hours
This can help reduce unwanted trading outside your intended operating window.
NEWS BLACKOUT WINDOWS
Create configurable blackout periods around scheduled events or other periods where you do not want new trading activity.
Multiple protection actions can be configured depending on your preferred level of control.
SOFT GUARD & PROTECTION MODES
PropFirmGuard PRO gives traders flexibility in how aggressively protection is applied.
Use the system primarily as a monitoring and warning tool, or configure stronger enforcement for account limits where appropriate.
Your current protection state is always visible directly on the dashboard.
DESIGNED FOR MANUAL & AUTOMATED TRADING
PropFirmGuard PRO operates at the account-risk level.
This makes it suitable for traders using:
• Manual trading
• Individual cBots
• Multiple automated strategies
• Prop-firm challenge accounts
• Funded trading accounts
Your trading strategy manages the entries.
PropFirmGuard PRO manages the risk environment around them.

• Daily drawdown breaches
• Multiple simultaneous positions
• Missing stop losses
• Overtrading

PropFirmGuard PRO provides a dedicated layer of monitoring and configurable risk control designed around these problems.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
PropFirmGuard PRO is a risk-management, monitoring and rule-enforcement tool.
It does not generate guaranteed profits, guarantee that a trader will pass a prop-firm evaluation, or guarantee compliance with every prop firm's rules.
Prop-firm conditions vary between providers and may change over time. Users are responsible for configuring PropFirmGuard PRO according to the rules of their own prop firm, account type and broker.
Market gaps, slippage, rejected orders, connectivity problems, platform interruptions and other execution conditions may affect protection behaviour.
Always verify your configuration on a demo or test environment before using it with a live or funded account.
