For prop firm traders
Automate a funded account
without breaching a rule
A funded account has rules that end the account when broken, not rules that cost you a little. That makes it the clearest case for a pre-trade check: the daily loss cap and the maximum drawdown are exactly the limits the engine already enforces.

The mapping
Your firm’s rules, as engine limits.
Most prop rulebooks reduce to a small number of ceilings. Each maps to a limit the engine already checks on every order.
Daily loss limit
Set it below the firm’s number, not at it. The engine stops opening when the floor is reached and records the stop.
Set it lower
Maximum drawdown
Measured from the running peak, which is how most firms measure it. A recovering account is not treated as a fresh one.
From peak
Position and lot caps
Per instrument and per account, evaluated against the combined book — so a manual ticket cannot push an automated position over the line.
Combined
Correlated exposure
Several correlated positions are counted as one bet. Firms that limit correlated risk are checking the same thing.
Cluster
Honestly
What this does not do.
Worth stating plainly, because the category is full of claims that do not survive a bad day.
It does not read your firm’s rulebook
You set the limits. We do not maintain a database of prop firm rules and would not want you relying on one if we did.
It does not guarantee compliance
It enforces the limits you configure. If the configured number is wrong, the engine will enforce the wrong number faithfully.
It does not prevent losses
It bounds them at the level you set. A bounded loss is still a loss.
