For NinjaTrader 8 desktop
TradeGuard: the prop-firm risk guard for NinjaTrader 8.
NinjaTrader desktop has no built-in daily loss limit for these prop-firm rules. TradeGuard adds one, right on your chart.
Balance, equity, today's P&L net of commissions, room to the daily loss limit and to the drawdown level (static, end-of-day trailing or intraday trailing), profit goal and "total needed" with the consistency rule, max size that still fits, trades today and contracts open. White = your fixed limits, yellow = live values, background colour = status.
Flattens the account and blocks new entries at the daily loss limit (minus a safety buffer), drawdown buffer, consistency cap, profit target / pass, personal daily loss or profit stop, max giveback from the day's peak, or a flatten time. Locks survive restarts; changing a setting does not unlock the day.
Max trades per day, max trading time, block orders larger than fit the room, and no hedging across your accounts (NQ/MNQ, ES/MES, YM/MYM, RTY/M2K, CL/MCL, GC/MGC).
Success %, long/short P&L, commissions, average/largest win and loss, giveback from peak, trading time and time in market.
Draw entry + stop lines and see the size for your $ risk on the mini AND the micro. Place OCO entries with stop + target. Risk is capped to TradeGuard's room, and orders are disabled while TradeGuard is locked.
