Prop Firm Risk
Add a daily drawdown guard before testing prop-style EAs.
Prop-style risk control begins with stopping the EA before the account reaches a daily loss breach. The guard should be external to signal logic and impossible for the strategy branch to skip.

Define day start and baseline
Daily loss depends on the broker server day and the baseline equity or balance. Pick one rule and log it.
Block before the breach
Use a safety buffer. Waiting until the exact limit is reached can fail because spread and slippage move quickly.
Make the block auditable
A prop-ready EA should record when trading was stopped and which metric triggered the stop.
