Usage in Prop Trading Challenges

This EA helps prop firms monitor whether their traders are complying with daily and overall equity limits. Traders can use the EA to protect themselves from breaching firm rules by setting more conservative limits. For instance, if the firm's maximum daily drawdown is 5%, the trader could set the EA to stop trading at 3% to leave a safety margin.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s ideal for prop trading participants (e.g., FTMO, AxiSelect, PZ Challenge), as well as prop trading firms looking to enforce equity-based rules automatically. It’s also useful for any trader who wants to safeguard their account from catastrophic losses.

No. This is not a trading robot. The Equity Guardian EA is a **risk monitor**—it does not open trades. It watches equity and intervenes only when risk limits are breached.

Load the EA on **only one chart** in your terminal. Set your equity limits in the inputs. Do not run the EA on multiple charts, and do not close its chart while it's active.

Yes. If enabled in settings, the EA can close all open charts when a rule is breached. This effectively halts all other EAs from trading further.

Yes. It works with all brokers, all execution types (ECN, STP, DD), and both MT4 and MT5 platforms.

Yes—but make sure you only load it once per terminal, and never on the same chart where another EA is running. Also, don’t load it more than once or switch accounts while it's operating.

Absolutely. You can set limits even more conservatively than the firm requires, creating a buffer to prevent accidental violations.
