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.

WHAT IT ADDS
- Daily loss, Max loss and Profit-target progress as live, color-coded gauges.
- 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 your target (or next payout when funded).
- Live exposure: each open position with entry, stop loss and take profit (price, pips or money), applied reward-to-risk, hold time, swap, commission and net.
- Guardrails: warnings for no-stop-loss positions, losing streaks and overtrading.
- A full performance analyzer: KPIs (win rate, profit factor, Sharpe per trade, expectancy, max drawdown, recovery factor, average R:R, swaps, commissions), equity curve, monthly P&L calendar, per-asset and per-hour breakdowns and full trade history — filterable by date, 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 in your account currency and timezone, so you keep one eye on risk while you trade.

KEY SETTINGS AND PARAMETERS
- Firm preset (FTMO Challenge, Verification, Funded) or fully Custom for any firm.
- Challenge phase (Phase 1, Phase 2, Funded) — sets the profit or payout target.
- Initial balance (auto-detected, or set it exactly).
- Daily loss: limit, reference (balance, equity, or higher of both), include-floating, reset hour and timezone.
- Max loss: limit and drawdown mode (static, trailing, or trailing locked at initial).
- Profit / payout target.
- Alerts: warning thresholds, near-stop-out level, loss-streak and overtrade limits, email recipient, 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 how much you can still lose today before a breach.
- Catching an unbounded position or a revenge-trading streak before it costs you the account.
- Estimating how many days until your target or next payout at your current pace.
- Reviewing which assets, days and hours actually make you money — and cutting the rest.

WHO IT IS BEST SUITED FOR
Prop-firm and funded traders on cTrader (FTMO and similar), manual or automated, any account size. Beginners learn to respect drawdown rules; experienced traders get firm-accurate risk math and a serious analyzer in one place. No programming required.

IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS AND NOTES
- Read-only by design: it is a Plugin and cannot open, modify or close orders — it only reads and displays.
- Email alerts use cTrader's own email settings; configure your email server once in cTrader preferences. Sound and popup work out of the box.
- For positions held across the daily reset, the day-start reference is reconstructed from closed-trade history; intraday equity drawdown is tracked while the panel is running.
- Prop-firm names are referenced for compatibility only. Independent product, not affiliated with any prop firm. Educational tool — not financial advice.
