precision before profit.
imagine you're in the middle of a $100k ftmo challenge. you've been trading well for two weeks, but then one bad session leaves you uncertain. did you exceed the daily limit? how close are you to the maximum drawdown? how many trading days do you have left?
you check the ftmo dashboard on your phone, but by the time it loads, the numbers are already 30 seconds old, and your positions are still open.
the prop dashboard solves this by displaying all the crucial information in real time, right on your chart, updating with every tick.
why this exists
prop firms have varying rules: daily loss limits, max drawdown (static or trailing), profit targets, minimum trading days, and calendar deadlines. keeping track of these while trading can be mentally taxing.
many traders rely on their prop firm's web dashboard, which has several limitations:
- delayed updates (30 seconds to several minutes)
- requires switching windows
- doesn't show proximity to limits in percentage terms
- no warning before breaching limits
the prop dashboard addresses all these issues with a single indicator.

choose your firm from the dropdown, and the rules automatically configure:
