Risk Guard is your control panel for protecting your account from emotional decisions, overtrading, and catastrophic drawdowns.
Instead of relying on willpower in the moment, this system enforces rules for you —
so your future self doesn’t have to fight your present impulses alone.
This guide walks through every part of the page and how to use it effectively across all tiers (FREE, PRO, WHALE). :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
1. Master Switch — Turn Risk Guard On or Off
At the top of the page is your RISK GUARD master control.
- Protection Active → System is enforcing your rules
- System Disabled → No protections are applied
How to Use It
- Turn ON to activate all risk rules
- Turn OFF to disable everything
Treat this like a circuit breaker.
Set your rules carefully — then leave it ON.
2. Loss Protection — Guard Your Downsides
This is your first line of defense against blowing up.
2.1 Daily Max Loss (ALL PLANS)
Define how much you’re willing to lose in a single day.
- Set a dollar amount (e.g.
$500) - Enable Lockout when hit

1H4H24H
This is your “no matter what, I stop here” rule.

- Set a weekly loss cap
- Enable lockout after hitting it
Prevents one bad week from becoming a reset.

$200) - Trades exceeding this can be blocked
Enforces consistency in risk sizing.
2.4 Trailing Drawdown (WHALE)
- Set max drawdown from equity high
- Example:
$3000
Prop-firm style protection for serious operators.
3. Profit Protection — Keep What You Earn
Winning isn’t the problem. Keeping it is.
3.1 Daily Profit Target (PRO + WHALE)
- Set daily profit goal
- Enable auto stop when hit
Lock in green days instead of giving them back.
3.2 Weekly Profit Target (WHALE)

This prevents emotional overextension.

4.3 Max Trades Per Day

4.4 Loss Cooldown (WHALE)

- Asia: 8PM–12AM

- NY AM: 8AM–11AM
- NY PM: 1PM–4PM
Trade when the market is alive — not random.
5.2 Custom Trading Hours (WHALE)

08:00 → 16:00 EST
Overrides kill zones.

Markets get chaotic around news.
Red Folder Filter (PRO + WHALE)

7.2 Lockout Duration

This is your enforced “walk away.”
8. Upgrade System

More control = more protection.
9. Save Your Configuration
After setting your rules:
Click → SAVE CONFIGURATION

Revisit often. Your rules should evolve as you grow.
Final Thought
Risk Guard isn’t here to limit you.
It’s here to protect your ability to stay in the game.
This is where you decide:
- How much you can lose
- When you’re allowed to trade
- What happens when things go wrong
The trader who survives…
is the trader who eventually wins.
Use it well — and you won’t just trade longer.
You’ll trade like an Operator.
