The numbers of your challenge, counted by someone else.
Your prop firm shows you a dashboard. Prop Shield reads the account itself and does the maths again — daily loss, max drawdown, profit target, consistency, trading days. If the two ever disagree, you are the first to know.
The cards as they sit at the top of your account page. Example figures.
A rule you never saw coming is still a rule you broke.
Challenges are rarely lost to bad trading alone. They are lost to a limit measured from a different hour, a different balance, or a different day than the one you were watching.
We are not auditing your firm. We are reading your account.
There is no accusation on this page. There is a second set of eyes on the numbers that decide whether you get paid — and until now, only one side had them.
An independent count
The figures come from your trading account, read directly, not from a dashboard someone else renders for you. Same trades, counted again, by software with nothing to gain from the answer.
A warning before, not an email after
Each rule has its own warning and critical level. Cross one and you hear about it while there is still something you can do — on the site, on Telegram, or on your phone.
A record that outlives the account
The account keeps its own page here, with the full history and the drawdown in it. If the challenge ends badly, or the firm closes, the track record is still yours and still checkable.
Everything that can end the challenge, in one row.
Each card carries what you have used, the limit you entered, and how far along you are. Click one and only that one opens — the rest stay where they are.
Profit target
How much you have to make to pass. Measured on your equity against the account size you set. Some firms measure it on your closed balance instead — you choose which one yours uses, because the two answers differ for as long as a position is open.
Max drawdown
The most the account can lose before the challenge is over. Static measures it from the account size. Trailing measures the drop from your highest balance, so a winning day raises the bar under your feet — and we do not stop it at your starting size, which some firms do, so the reading you get is the strict one.
Daily loss
The most you can lose in a single day. The day resets at the hour your firm uses, which is usually 17:00 New York and not midnight — so a trade at 23:00 often belongs to tomorrow, and a loss you thought was spread over two days can land on one.
Consistency
Stops a challenge being passed on one lucky day. Your best day must not be worth more than this share of your total profit — the rule that fails traders after they have already hit the target, and the one nobody watches while it is happening.
Trading days
The minimum number of days you have to trade. A day counts when you close at least one trade: deposits do not count, and neither does leaving a position open across the week.
Two levels on every rule
Warning and critical are set per rule, not once for the whole challenge: you want to hear about the daily loss earlier than about the profit target. The ring turns amber, then red.
Add your account freeFive places where you and the firm are counting differently
None of these are tricks. They are all written down somewhere. They are also the five things nobody re-reads at 23:00 with a position open.
Your trading day does not end at midnight
Most firms reset the daily loss at 17:00 New York. Two trades on either side of that hour look like two days on your platform and one day on theirs. Prop Shield uses the reset hour you enter, so the day you see is the day they count.
A winning trade can move your drawdown floor
Under a trailing drawdown the limit follows your highest balance upward. Make $400, and the level that ends the challenge rises by $400 too. The rule reads as "I can lose 10%" and turns out to mean 10% from a peak you no longer have.
An open position is not a trading day
Leaving a grid running over the weekend feels like activity. For the minimum-days requirement it usually is not: a day counts when a trade closes. Count it the other way and you can reach the target believing you have met a rule you have not.
The consistency rule fires after you have already passed
One outsized day can be worth more than the allowed share of your profit — and plenty of traders only learn it at payout review, when the account is already funded. It is measurable every single day, which is why it has a card of its own here.
Balance or equity is not a detail
A profit target on closed balance and one on equity disagree by exactly the size of your floating P/L. So does a drawdown. Pick the wrong basis and you spend the challenge watching a number that was never the one being judged.
Trailing drawdown at 64% of your limit. $360 of room left before the account is closed.
Your best day is 31% of total profit, against a 20% limit. Passing today would not survive the payout review.
One alert per episode. Not one per day.
Cross a threshold and you hear about it once. While it stays crossed, nothing more is sent — a drawdown worsening from 11% to 14% is a single notification, not four. When it comes back inside the limit, the alert closes quietly on its own.

Your challenge, inside your own tools.
A read-only API gives you accounts, statistics, open positions and trade history over plain REST — and the same data reaches an AI assistant through a built-in MCP server. So you can simply ask how far you are from today's loss limit, and the answer is computed from the account rather than remembered from a screenshot.
- Read-only by design — no endpoint can trade
- Keys you create, and revoke, yourself
- REST and MCP share one engine, so they cannot disagree
Included with Pro. The Prop Shield cards and the alerts stay free.

You have $320 left before the daily loss limit and $360 before the trailing drawdown ends the account. Two more trading days to meet the minimum.
Three steps, and one of them is typing your rules.

Account size, then the limits your firm actually wrote: target, max drawdown static or trailing, daily loss and its reset hour, consistency, minimum days. Click a card and only that card opens.
Watch the rings, not the dashboard
Every card shows what you have used, what is left, and how far along you are. Alerts for the rules that can end the challenge come switched on.
The account can end. The proof does not have to.
A funded account belongs to the firm, and so does its dashboard. The public page here is yours: full history, drawdown included, at a permanent address anyone can open — the thing you will want the day you apply somewhere else, or the day someone asks you to prove a result you have already been paid for.
- Free public page and 18 embeddable widgets
- Private by default, unlisted if you only want a link
- Several accounts merged into one honest curve
