What is the Account Protector?

The Funded Partner Account Protector is an automated risk management tool which promotes traders to always be aware of their downside risk.



How It Works


The Account Protector monitors the equity on open trades and functions in two ways.


It will automatically trigger where exposure on a single trading instrument has exceeded more than 2% of the starting balance.


If the open PnL for the account equity drops below 2% of the starting balance, it will trigger a breach.


Both are considered account violations. and the Funded Partner team reserves the right to assess account breaches on an individual basis, which can take place periodically and when targets are reached. By trading within the framework of the Funded Partner trading rules, you can always trade and grow your account with us.



How The Account Protector Benefits The Trader


The Account Protector prevents traders from carrying large ongoing losing positions as they build their account balance. Often, the target level on the account can be achieved, but a large open loss prevents the trader from moving forward and scaling up. They are left hoping and waiting for the market to turn back in their favour, finally.


The Account Protector ensures traders who leave their platforms unattended or have forgotten to add a mandatory stop loss do not put themselves at risk of breaching the absolute drawdown level on a single trade idea. This keeps their accounts active for longer, giving the trader a greater chance of success.
