The Problem
Prop firms have strict rules. Breach your drawdown by a single tick and you lose the account — along with the evaluation fee, your time, and your confidence.
Every blown account is $100-500+ in evaluation fees down the drain. Most traders blow 3-5 evals before getting funded — if they get funded at all.
NinjaTrader has no built-in prop firm protection. One moment of tilt, one accidental order, one lag spike — and your account is gone.
Managing risk across 10, 20, or 30+ funded accounts is impossible manually. You need automation that never sleeps and never forgets.
Features
PropShield runs as a persistent background service — protecting your accounts even when the PropShield window is closed.
PropShield intercepts and blocks orders the instant a risk limit is hit. Not after. Not eventually. Instantly. The background protection service runs independently — it blocks orders even if the PropShield window is closed or NinjaTrader is minimized.
Set per-account or per-group daily loss limits. When hit, PropShield flattens positions and locks the account until the next session. No overrides, no exceptions.
Automatically lock in your gains. Hit your daily target? PropShield closes positions and prevents you from giving back profits with revenge trades. Passed an evaluation? PropShield flattens it at the pass balance and keeps it locked until you release it, so a stray trade can't cost you the pass.
Group accounts together with shared risk limits. If one account in a group breaches, the entire group locks down. Perfect for managing multiple funded accounts under one strategy.
See every account at a glance — P&L, trading days, consistency scores, buffer status, payout eligibility, and action items. Filter by firm, type, or status.
Restrict trading during high-risk windows like news events, market open, or overnight sessions. Set it and forget it — PropShield enforces the schedule.
Take control when you need it most. Manually lock accounts until a specific date and time — down to the minute. Walked away from the screen? Lock it. Feeling tilted? Lock it. Need a break? Lock it. Unlock prompts appear at the exact scheduled time. Your future self will thank you.
Track every dollar spent on evaluations, data fees, platform costs, and more. Know exactly what you're spending per account and per firm. Export reports for tax time. See your true profitability after all expenses.
Built-in profiles for every major prop firm — Apex, Take Profit Trader, Bulenox, Tradeify, and more. PropShield knows each firm's specific rules and configures drawdown tracking automatically.
