TradeNRisk
FTMO Risk Manager
The Autopilot FTMO Risk Manager — Never Blow Another FTMO Account
TradeNRisk is built for FTMO challengers and funded traders. It connects to your MetaTrader 5 account, enforces FTMO's exact rules — 5% daily loss limit, 10% max drawdown — and auto-closes positions the instant you approach a breach. A single emotional trade has ended thousands of FTMO evaluations. TradeNRisk is the autopilot that sits between you and that mistake.
FTMO rules TradeNRisk enforces for you
- 5% daily loss limit — auto-close all positions the moment you hit the threshold, measured from FTMO's starting equity. Positions stay closed for the rest of the trading day.
- 10% max drawdown — trailing from the high-water mark as FTMO tracks it. TradeNRisk closes positions when equity approaches the floor, giving you buffer room before FTMO's own kill switch fires.
- Consistency & trade-count enforcement — FTMO evaluates trading style. TradeNRisk can cap position size and trades per day so no single day dwarfs the others.
- News-event lockout — block entries in configured windows around high-impact news (NFP, CPI, FOMC) so you don't take an unplanned stop-out.
- Your own internal buffer — set your rules tighter than FTMO's so you never hit their hard limit. Most successful FTMO traders run a 70–80% buffer below the official numbers.
What a failed FTMO evaluation actually costs
A FTMO reset costs approximately $540 for a 100K challenge (FTMO official pricing). On top of that you lose the weeks or months you put into the evaluation — and the profit split opportunity of the funded account that was on the other side. TradeNRisk is $25/month. One prevented reset pays for more than a year of the service.
FTMO + TradeNRisk FAQ
Is TradeNRisk allowed on FTMO accounts?
Yes. FTMO allows external risk management tools — TradeNRisk only closes positions when your own configured rules are breached, and never opens trades on your behalf. It's a pure enforcement layer, not a trading EA. If in doubt, FTMO's support confirms that third-party risk monitoring is permitted.
Does FTMO already have risk enforcement? Why do I need TradeNRisk?
FTMO's enforcement fires at the cliff edge — when you hit their hard limit, the account is failed. TradeNRisk sits between you and that cliff with your own buffer: auto-close at 80% of the daily loss, auto-lock for 24 hours after a breach, auto-breakeven on winners. It's the difference between a prevented breach and a failed account.
How fast does TradeNRisk react on a FTMO account?
100–500 ms from equity change to position close. WebSocket connection to the broker (not polling), so there's no 30-second gap like many scripts. On a fast-moving pair like XAUUSD or NAS100 this is often the difference between a small loss and a failed evaluation.
Will TradeNRisk work during FTMO's weekend or news-event restrictions?
Yes. TradeNRisk enforces your own rules regardless of FTMO's calendar. If you've configured "no trading 15 min before major news," TradeNRisk blocks new entries in that window. Weekend positions are monitored but generally untouched (forex is closed); the watch resumes at Sunday 5 PM ET open.
