Every Layer of Protection for Your Firm

Daily Loss Limit

Each trader's daily P&L is tracked from the start-of-day equity. When losses reach the configured limit (e.g. 5%), the account is automatically closed.

Maximum Drawdown Enforcement

Tracks peak equity vs current equity. When the drawdown limit is hit (e.g. 10% from peak), the account is closed and breached status applied instantly.

Consistency Rule

Prevents single-day profit manipulation. Configurable maximum percentage of total profit allowed from any single trading day.

Minimum Trading Days

Require traders to demonstrate activity across a minimum number of trading days, preventing single-session lucky plays from passing the evaluation.

News Trading Restriction

Optional rule that prevents opening positions within a configurable window around major economic news events (e.g. ±2 minutes of NFP, FOMC).

Firm Exposure Dashboard

Live view of aggregate trader exposure across all funded accounts — net position per instrument, total daily P&L across all live accounts and funded capital at risk.

Risk Management FAQs

Why is risk management critical for a prop firm?

As a prop firm, you are funding traders with real capital (or have capital at risk from funded accounts). Without automated risk controls, a single trader can blow through your firm's loss tolerance before a manual review catches it. Automated daily loss and drawdown enforcement protects your capital by closing accounts the instant a rule is breached.

What is the difference between daily loss limit and max drawdown?

Daily loss limit tracks how much a trader has lost in the current calendar day from their account equity at the start of the day. Max drawdown is the maximum cumulative decline from the account's peak equity over the entire challenge period. Both rules exist because a trader could stay within daily loss limits while still gradually eroding an account over many days — drawdown catches this scenario.

How does the consistency rule work in prop firm risk?

The consistency rule prevents traders from gaming the evaluation by having one unusually lucky day account for all their profit (then not trading again). For example, a consistency rule might require that no single day's profit exceeds 30% of total challenge profit. This selects for consistently profitable traders rather than gamblers who got lucky once.

Can risk rules be applied differently per trader group?

Yes — CTATech's risk engine supports rule sets that can be applied per account type. You can offer a "Standard" challenge with strict rules, an "Aggressive" tier with relaxed drawdown limits, and a "Scaling Plan" tier with increasing capital allocation as the trader hit milestones. Each tier has its own risk parameters managed independently.
