Description & Settings
Precision before profit.
You’re in the middle of a $100K FTMO challenge. You’ve been trading well for 2 weeks. Then one bad session and you’re not sure — did you breach the daily limit? How close are you to the max drawdown? How many trading days do you still need?
You check the FTMO dashboard on your phone. By the time it loads, the numbers are already 30 seconds old. Meanwhile your positions are still open.
Prop Dashboard shows you all of this in real time, right on your chart, updating on every tick. Why This Exists
Every prop firm has slightly different rules. Daily loss limits. Max drawdown (static vs trailing). Profit targets. Minimum trading days. Calendar deadlines. The mental overhead of tracking all of this while trading is a real problem.
Most traders rely on the prop firm’s web dashboard, which:- Updates with delay (30s to several minutes)- Requires switching windows- Doesn’t show how close you are to limits in percentage terms- Doesn’t warn you before you breach
Prop Dashboard solves all of this with a single indicator.
