Automated Prop Firm Challenge Pass & Drawdown Guard Bot

A risk management bot with a strict 4% equity circuit breaker and dynamic lot sizing to pass FTMO and Topstep evaluations.

📊 Financial & Retainer Economics

Initial Setup Fee $1,200 challenge management fee per $100k account
Recurring Monthly Retainer $400 / mo ongoing funded account risk monitoring & trade execution
Gross Profit Margin 88%
Estimated Startup Cost < $100 (Windows VPS + MT5 Python API)

🎯 Market Opportunity & Why Clients Pay For This

Proprietary trading firms (FTMO, Topstep, FundedNext) manage hundreds of millions in trading capital, allowing traders to trade with $100,000 to $200,000 accounts and keep 80% to 90% of profits. However, 94% of traders fail the evaluation challenge because they violate strict risk rules: the 5% maximum daily loss limit or 10% maximum trailing drawdown. An automated risk shield bot acts as an incorruptible risk manager: it calculates dynamic position sizing based on ATR, enforces a hard circuit breaker that closes all positions if daily drawdown hits 4%, and executes high-probability mean-reversion setups during London/New York sessions.

Target Customer Niches (Ideal Customer Profile):

  • Traders attempting $100k and $200k FTMO, FundedNext, or Topstep challenges
  • Discretionary traders who struggle with revenge trading and emotional tilt
  • Prop firm challenge coaching agencies
  • Retail traders seeking funded capital without risking personal savings

🧰 Required AI Models & Infrastructure

MetaTrader 5 (MT5) Python API
Real-time equity polling and automated order execution
DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash
Market regime classification and daily volatility forecasting
Circuit Breaker Middleware
Hard stop that kills all open trades at 4.2% daily drawdown

📋 Step-by-Step Execution Roadmap

1
Set up an automated Python script connected to MetaTrader 5 on a dedicated low-latency Windows VPS.
2
Program the risk middleware: polling account equity every 500ms; if daily equity drops by 4.0%, automatically close all trades and revoke trading permissions until the 5 PM server reset.
3
Deploy a proven session-breakout strategy (e.g. London Open Silver Bullet) with fixed 1:2.5 risk-to-reward ratio.
4
Pass the 2-step evaluation challenge systematically over 15 to 25 trading days without ever violating drawdown rules.
5
Charge clients $1,200 per challenge pass, or partner on a 50/50 profit-split on their funded account.

Subject: Passing your $100k FTMO challenge without emotional tilt

Hi [Trader Name],

Most traders fail prop firm evaluations not because their strategy is bad, but because one bad revenge trade blows the 5% daily drawdown rule.

We built an automated risk shield bot for MT5. It enforces mathematical discipline: dynamic lot sizing based on current volatility and a hard circuit breaker that shuts down trading if drawdown reaches 4%.

We have helped over 30 traders pass $100k and $200k funded challenges with zero rule violations.

We work on a satisfaction guarantee: if the bot violates a daily drawdown rule, we refund our management fee 100%.

Would you like to review our verified Myfxbook / FTMO certificates?

Best,
[Your Name]

Frequently Asked Questions

Do prop firms allow bots (EAs)?

Yes. Top tier prop firms (FTMO, FundedNext, Alpha Capital) explicitly allow algorithmic trading and Expert Advisors, provided they do not exploit arbitrage latency bugs.
