Prop Firm Control is a read-only risk and performance cockpit for prop-firm and
funded traders. It docks inside cTrader as a resizable panel and monitors your
account in real time against every prop-firm rule - without ever placing,
modifying or closing a single order.
NEW IN v1.1
- Safe Loss Left: the single number that actually ends your challenge - the
smaller of your daily-loss room and your max-drawdown room - with the rule
that binds and the exact equity level where you are out.
- On-Track-to-Get-Paid scorecard: one green/amber/red verdict across minimum
trading days, consistency, drawdown cushion and pace, that names your blocker.
- Consistency governor: the most profit you can still book today before any
single day breaks the firm's consistency cap.
- Rule reconciliation: it re-derives the broker's daily-loss, max-loss and
closed P/L and proves they match to the cent.
- A trailing max-loss projector, a post-loss cool-off timer and a protect-a-
green-day nudge.
WHAT IT ADDS
It turns your raw account into the exact numbers a prop firm watches:
- Daily loss, Max loss and Profit-target progress as live gauges (color-coded as
you approach each limit).
- Safe Loss Left: the binding limit, the rule that binds, and the equity level
where you are out.
- Today's permitted loss, Max permitted loss and Today's profit - your real
remaining buffers, measured from current equity the way the firms do it.
- A days-to-target / days-to-payout projection, and a scorecard that tells you
whether you are on track to get paid and what is blocking it.
- Live exposure: every open position with its entry, stop loss and take profit
(shown as price, pips or money), the applied reward-to-risk, hold time, swap,
commission and net.
- Behavioural guardrails: warnings for any position with no stop loss, for losing
streaks and for overtrading, plus a cool-off timer and a protect-a-green-day
nudge.
- Independent reconciliation: it re-derives the broker's numbers and shows they
match to the cent.
- A full performance analyzer: KPIs (win rate, profit factor, Sharpe per trade,
expectancy, max drawdown, recovery factor, average R:R, swaps and commissions
paid), an equity curve, a monthly profit/loss calendar, per-asset and per-hour
breakdowns, and a complete trade history - all filterable by date range, asset,
day, weekday and hour.
- Alerts on every breach, warning, near stop-out, loss streak, overtrade and
target reached, by email, sound and popup (each fires once - no spam).
HOW IT INTEGRATES INTO YOUR WORKFLOW
Open Automate, Plugins, Prop Firm Control. It docks as a resizable tab beside
your charts and reads the connected account automatically - no chart, no trade
setup, no coding. It refreshes every second and shows everything in your account
currency and your chosen timezone, organised into Risk, Performance, Compliance
and Settings tabs, so you keep one eye on risk while you trade as usual.
KEY SETTINGS AND PARAMETERS
- Firm preset (FTMO Challenge, Verification, Funded) or fully Custom for any
other firm.
- Challenge phase (Phase 1, Phase 2, Funded) - sets the profit or payout target.
- Initial balance (auto-detected from your account, or set it exactly).
- Daily loss: limit, reference (day-start balance, equity, or the higher of
both), include-floating, reset hour and timezone.
- Max loss: limit and drawdown mode (static, trailing, or trailing locked at the
initial balance).
- Profit / payout target, minimum trading days and consistency cap.
- Alerts: warning thresholds, near-stop-out margin level, loss-streak, overtrade
and cool-off minutes, email recipient, and sound / popup toggles.
TYPICAL USE CASES AND SCENARIOS
- Passing an FTMO (or any firm's) challenge without breaching the daily or
maximum loss.
- Seeing, at a glance, the one limit that actually binds and how much you can
still lose before a breach.
- Knowing whether you are on track to get paid - and what is blocking it.
- Staying inside the consistency rule so a passed account is not denied at payout.
- Catching an unbounded position or a revenge-trading streak before it costs you
the account.
- Reviewing which assets, days and hours actually make you money - and cutting
the ones that don't.
WHO IT IS BEST SUITED FOR
Prop-firm and funded traders on cTrader (FTMO and similar firms), trading
manually or with bots, on any account size. Beginners use it to learn to respect
drawdown rules; experienced traders use it for firm-accurate risk math, a payout
scorecard and a serious performance analyzer in one place. No programming
knowledge required.
IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS AND NOTES
- Read-only by design: this is a Plugin. It cannot open, modify or close orders -
it only reads and displays your account.
- It re-derives your firm's numbers from your account and history; for positions
held across the daily reset, the day-start reference is reconstructed from your
closed-trade history.
- Email alerts are sent through cTrader's own email settings; configure your
email server once in cTrader's preferences. Sound and popup alerts work out of
the box.
- Prop-firm names are referenced for rule compatibility only. This product is
independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any prop firm. Educational
tool - not financial advice.
