It does one job: stop a funded or challenge account breaching firm rules, and keep a tamper-evident record proving you stayed inside them.
No MT5 Expert Advisor can stop a manual order before it reaches the server — the terminal offers no pre-trade hook. Prop Warden detects a new position within milliseconds of the fill and acts: closes it, or cuts it to the permitted size. A trade that breaches on the fill itself will have existed, and your firm saw it.
Equity limits are the part it does well. It watches equity continuously and flattens ahead of the limit, with the buffer set by you. Anyone selling you a guaranteed block on manual orders is selling something MetaTrader does not provide.
A firm profile is a versioned JSON document, so a rule change is an update rather than a new build. Every evaluation runs against your firm's own reset time and anchor.
| RULE | BEHAVIOUR | TIER |
|---|---|---|
| Daily loss limit | Balance- or equity-anchored, or the higher of the two. Firms genuinely differ, and picking wrong is the classic false breach. |
FREE |
| Maximum drawdown | Static or trailing, including the trailing floor that freezes once you are up by the drawdown amount. |
FREE |
| Profit target | Locks the account to new risk when you pass. It never closes the position that got you there. |
FREE |
| Risk per trade | Caps size against what is left of today's cushion, not against a fixed percentage of balance. |
PREMIUM |
| Consistency | No single day above a set share of total profit. The most common reason a payout is refused. |
PREMIUM |
| Minimum trading days | A counter, never enforced — there is no safe action to take on it. |
PREMIUM |
| News blackout | Configurable window either side of high-impact events. Reports itself unevaluated when no calendar is loaded rather than claiming clear. |
PREMIUM |
| Weekend / overnight holding | Warns as the cutoff approaches, with time left to act. |

The free tier still computes every rule and shows every number — it withholds enforcement of the premium ones, not the readings. A breach warning is never held back over billing.
Every rule evaluation is written down, including the ones that pass. Each entry is hashed together with the one before it, so editing, removing or reordering any entry breaks every hash that follows.
The signed export prints the chain and the procedure to recheck it, so a firm questioning a payout can verify the record themselves rather than taking your word for it.
It proves order and integrity. It does not prove the figures matched your broker's books — nothing running on your machine can — and the export says exactly that on its face.
One account, watched properly.
Permanently free. No trial, no expiry.
Every account, every rule, and the record to prove it.
Indicative pricing — not yet on sale.
The engine, the journal and the export all work and are covered by tests. The Expert Advisor still has to be compiled and run on a demo account, then a challenge account, before anyone should point it at funded money. Leave your email and I will tell you when that is done — not before.
No, and no MT5 EA can — the terminal gives a chart EA no pre-trade hook. Prop Warden detects a new position within milliseconds of the fill and acts on it: closes it, or reduces it to the permitted size. A position that breaches on the fill itself will have existed, and your firm saw it. Equity-based limits are different: the EA watches equity continuously and flattens ahead of the limit, with the buffer you set.
Any MT5 firm. Rules are data, not code — a firm profile is a JSON document holding the daily-loss anchor, drawdown mode, targets and thresholds, so a rule change is an update rather than a new build. Profiles ship for FTMO, FundedNext and The 5%ers structures, and you can edit or add your own.
No, and the product says so on the panel. The shipped profiles are modelled from each firm's published structure and are marked unverified until you confirm them. Check every number against your own account dashboard before you turn enforcement on — a tool seeded with wrong limits causes the breach it was meant to prevent.
No. It enforces the limits you configure and records every evaluation. It cannot guarantee a payout and cannot stop a firm disputing one. What it gives you is enforcement that acts before the limit, and a chronological record if that enforcement is ever questioned.
Each entry is hashed together with the one before it, so editing, removing or reordering any entry breaks every hash after it. The export prints the chain and the procedure to recheck it, which means a firm can verify it themselves rather than taking your word. It proves order and integrity — not that the figures matched the broker's books, and it says that on its face.
No. It is permanently free: one account, live monitoring, on-chart warnings, auto-flatten on the daily-loss threshold and seven days of journal history. It is limited in what it covers, not in how long it runs.
No, and it never will. It is a compliance tool. Anything that helps a trader work around a firm's terms is out of scope by design.
