Prop Firm Control Free is a read-only, real-time risk monitor for prop-firm and funded traders. It docks inside cTrader as a resizable panel and shows exactly how close you are to every prop-firm limit, the way the firms measure it - and it never places, modifies or closes a single order.
It is a complete tool on its own, not a time-limited trial: install it, set your firm's rules once, and keep one eye on risk while you trade as usual.
WHAT IT DOES
- Daily loss, Max loss and Profit-target progress as live, color-coded gauges (green -> amber -> red as you near each limit).
- 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 projection of how many trading days until you reach the target or your next payout, at your recent pace.
- Live exposure: every open position with entry, stop loss and take profit (shown as price, pips or money), the applied reward-to-risk, hold time, swap, commission and net.
- Guardrails that protect you from yourself: warnings for any position with no stop loss, for losing streaks and for overtrading.
- Margin and stop-out monitoring, plus a London / New York / Tokyo session clock.
HOW IT INTEGRATES INTO YOUR WORKFLOW
