Risk Guard Prop

A risk supervisor that enforces your prop-firm limits on every trade.

Overview

What Risk Guard Prop does

Risk Guard Prop is a risk supervisor, not a trading strategy. It watches every position on the account, your manual trades and any other Expert Advisor, and enforces the rules you set.

When a limit is hit it closes open positions, blocks new ones, and keeps the lock through terminal restarts.

FAQ

Risk Guard Prop: questions

Will it close my trades?

Only when a rule you set is breached. It then closes positions and blocks new trades until the lock resets.

Is there a free version?

Yes. Risk Guard on the MQL5 CodeBase has the basic features. The Prop version adds weekly limits, drawdown modes, profit locks and more alerts.
