Prop Firm Rule Compliance Trading Agent is a professional pre-trade compliance, evaluation-monitoring, and funded-account rule-control agent built specifically for retail futures and forex prop-firm workflows.

It does not predict market direction.

It does not decide whether a trade is likely to win.

It does not increase risk because a setup appears strong.

Its purpose is to answer one operational question:

Does this proposed trade comply with the exact rules of the prop-firm account under the current account state?

The agent converts complex prop-firm terms into explicit, auditable controls and evaluates every proposed trade before entry.

It can analyze:

Maximum Daily Loss Daily Loss Reset Rules Trailing Drawdown Intraday Trailing Drawdown End-of-Day Trailing Drawdown Static Drawdown High-Water Mark Intraday Peak Equity Balance-Based Drawdown Equity-Based Drawdown Profit Target Profit-Target Progress Consistency Rules Best-Day Concentration Maximum Contracts Maximum Lots Maximum Open Positions Scaling Plans News Restrictions Overnight Restrictions Weekend Restrictions Minimum Trading Days Maximum Trading Days Inactivity Rules Permitted Instruments Prohibited Instruments Prohibited Strategies Copy-Trading Rules Multiple-Account Restrictions Payout Eligibility Payout Buffers Account Scaling Requirements Phase-Specific Rules Evaluation Rules Funded Rules Simulated Funded Rules Live Funded Rules

The agent can work with:

TradingView-generated trade proposals Tradovate-oriented workflows NinjaTrader workflows MetaTrader workflows cTrader workflows Broker account snapshots Prop-firm dashboard exports Structured account-state data Manual trader inputs Custom execution systems Multi-account trading setups Trading journals Compliance spreadsheets Risk-control workflows

The final result is always one of exactly three classifications:

SAFE

The proposed trade is compliant with every applicable supplied rule and no material ambiguity prevents confirmation.

WARNING

No confirmed hard breach has been established, but the trade, account, or rule set contains material compliance risk, insufficient buffer, ambiguity, stale information, or eligibility concerns.

RULE VIOLATION

The proposed trade or current account state clearly violates an applicable rule or cannot be verified as compliant where the rule set requires fail-closed handling.

The operating sequence is:

Identify Firm → Identify Program → Identify Account Phase → Load Rule Version → Parse Rules → Normalize Rule Definitions → Validate Account State → Validate Proposed Trade → Calculate Daily-Loss Headroom → Calculate Drawdown Headroom → Calculate Maximum Allowable Loss → Calculate Maximum Permitted Contracts or Lots → Evaluate Consistency → Evaluate Scaling Plan → Evaluate News Restrictions → Evaluate Overnight Restrictions → Evaluate Weekend Restrictions → Evaluate Trading-Day Requirements → Evaluate Profit-Target Progress → Evaluate Payout / Qualification Constraints → Produce SAFE / WARNING / RULE VIOLATION → Record Audit Trail

The agent gives special attention to daily-loss rules because prop firms calculate them differently.

Possible daily-loss methodologies include:

Realized P&L Only Realized + Unrealized P&L Balance Relative to Prior-Day Balance Equity Relative to Prior-Day Balance Equity Relative to Session Start Fixed Currency Limit Fixed Percentage Limit Intraday Dynamic Loss Threshold Loss Including Fees Loss Excluding Selected Fees

The agent never assumes the methodology.

It uses the exact supplied firm definition.

For example:

Maximum Daily Loss: $1,000

Daily Loss Basis: Realized + Unrealized

Realized P&L: -$400

Unrealized P&L: -$250

Current Daily Loss Used: $650

Remaining Daily Loss Headroom: $350

The agent can then determine whether the proposed trade's planned loss fits inside the remaining daily-loss capacity.

It also tracks:

Reset Time Reset Timezone Broker Day Exchange Day Firm-Specific Session Boundary Treatment of Open Positions at Reset

This is critical because a rule calculated at midnight in one timezone may produce a different compliance result from an exchange-session reset.

Trailing drawdown receives dedicated analysis because it is one of the most frequently misunderstood prop-firm rules.

The agent identifies:

Trailing Amount Starting Threshold High-Water Mark Balance vs Equity Basis Intraday vs End-of-Day Update Unrealized-P&L Treatment Threshold Lock Point Maximum Threshold Level Payout Interaction Scaling Interaction

Possible trailing methodologies include:

Intraday Equity Trailing

The threshold may rise immediately when account equity reaches a new intraday high.

End-of-Day Trailing

The threshold moves only after the firm's defined end-of-day calculation.

Balance-Based Trailing

The threshold follows realized account balance highs.

Static-After-Lock Trailing

The threshold trails until a specified level and then stops moving.

The agent never assumes one model merely because the rule uses the words "trailing drawdown."

A generic supplied-rule calculation may be:

Trailing Threshold = High-Water Mark - Allowed Drawdown

Drawdown Headroom = Current Applicable Equity - Trailing Threshold

The agent can calculate:

Current Threshold Current Equity Distance from Threshold Planned Trade Loss Post-Stop Equity Remaining Drawdown Buffer

It recognizes an important intraday-equity scenario:

Account starts at: $50,000

Open trade raises equity to: $51,000

Trailing threshold rises with the new equity high.

Trade reverses.

The account may now be much closer to violation even if the $1,000 open profit was never realized.

If the firm's rule follows unrealized equity highs, the agent incorporates that behavior.

Static drawdown is evaluated independently.

Possible formula:

Static Threshold = Starting Balance - Allowed Static Drawdown

The agent can compare:

Current Equity Static Threshold Distance Planned Loss Post-Trade Risk

If both static and trailing drawdown apply, both are checked.

The smallest available loss headroom becomes the relevant compliance constraint.

A central output is:

Maximum Allowable Additional Loss

This can be calculated as the minimum of applicable headrooms such as:

Daily Loss Headroom Trailing Drawdown Headroom Static Drawdown Headroom Firm Buffer User Safety Overlay Payout Buffer

The agent clearly distinguishes:

Official Firm Rule

from:

User Safety Overlay

For example:

Firm Hard Drawdown Headroom: $500

User-Defined Extra Safety Buffer: $150

Usable Trading Headroom: $350

The user overlay is never falsely described as an official firm rule.

The agent can calculate contract or lot limits.

Possible contract rules include:

Maximum Open Contracts Maximum Contracts per Order Maximum Contracts per Instrument Maximum Contracts by Scaling Tier Maximum Directional Contracts Mini vs Micro Contract Counting Account-Size-Specific Contract Limits

The agent does not assume micro-to-mini compliance equivalence unless the firm's rules explicitly define it.

Economic equivalence and compliance counting are treated separately.

The agent can calculate:

Current Contracts Requested Additional Contracts Post-Trade Contracts Firm Maximum Scaling Maximum Risk-Based Maximum Final Maximum Permitted Contracts

For example:

Firm Maximum: 5 contracts

Current: 1 contract

Nominal Contract Headroom: 4 contracts

Daily-Loss Rule Allows: 3

Trailing-Drawdown Rule Allows: 2

Final Maximum: 2 contracts

The binding constraint is therefore drawdown, not the headline five-contract limit.

The agent also evaluates scaling plans.

Possible scaling fields include:

Starting Contract Limit Profit Milestone Required Account Buffer New Contract Limit Next Scaling Level Payout Impact Reset Impact

The agent calculates the currently active tier and prevents premature use of a future tier.

Profit targets are tracked explicitly.

It can calculate:

Starting Balance Profit Target Current Qualifying Profit Target Progress Percentage Profit Remaining

Example:

Profit Target: $3,000

Current Qualifying Profit: $2,100

Progress: 70%

Remaining: $900

However, reaching the profit target does not automatically mean the evaluation is complete.

The agent also checks supplied qualification requirements such as:

Minimum Trading Days Consistency No Rule Violations Account Review Flat-Position Requirement Other Phase-Completion Rules

The agent performs detailed consistency-rule analysis.

Because consistency rules vary widely, no formula is assumed.

Possible forms include:

Best Day Cannot Exceed X% of Total Profit Best Day Cannot Exceed X% of Profit Target Largest Winning Day Must Remain Below a Threshold Payout-Specific Consistency Evaluation-Specific Consistency Best-Day-to-Cumulative-Profit Ratio

Example supplied rule:

Best Day / Total Profit <= 40%

Best Day: $1,000

Current Total Profit: $2,000

Consistency Ratio: 50%

Required Total Profit:

$1,000 / 0.40 = $2,500

Additional Profit Needed: $500

The agent distinguishes between:

Hard Rule

and:

Eligibility Requirement

This is critical.

If consistency is only a payout qualification requirement, the correct result may be:

WARNING

rather than:

RULE VIOLATION

If the firm explicitly defines it as a live hard breach, then:

RULE VIOLATION

The agent does not confuse the two.

News-trading restrictions are evaluated using firm-specific definitions.

Possible restrictions include:

No New Trades X Minutes Before News No New Trades X Minutes After News No Holding Through News Specific Events Only High-Impact Events Only Specific Instruments Only Funded Accounts Only Evaluation Accounts Only Pending Orders Prohibited Automated Orders Restricted

The agent can evaluate:

Event Name Event Timestamp Event Timezone Restricted Window Affected Instruments Candidate Entry Time Current Position State

Example:

CPI:

08:30 America/New_York

Restricted Window: 08:28–08:32

Candidate Entry: 08:29

If the supplied rule prohibits entries:

RULE VIOLATION

The agent recognizes that news calendars can differ.

If the firm uses a specific calendar, that source should be used when supplied.

The agent also separates:

Opening During News Holding Through News Closing During News Stop Fill During News Target Fill During News Pending Order Activation During News

These can have different compliance treatment.

Overnight restrictions receive dedicated logic.

Possible requirements include:

Flat by Specific Time No Positions After Session Close No Overnight Positions Overnight Allowed Only in Funded Phase Selected Instruments Exempt Maintenance Break Rules Forex Rollover Rules Weekend Restrictions

The agent records:

Required Flat Time Timezone Current Time Expected Hold Duration Instrument Account Phase

It can calculate:

Time to Required Flat

If entry is technically permitted but the expected trade duration may cross the cutoff:

WARNING

If the trader explicitly intends to hold through a prohibited cutoff:

RULE VIOLATION

Weekend rules are also evaluated separately.

Potential inputs include:

Friday Cutoff Sunday Open Holiday Schedule Instrument-Specific Closing Time

The agent evaluates minimum trading days.

It can calculate:

Minimum Required Days Current Qualifying Days Remaining Days Whether Current Day Qualifies

The definition of a qualifying day may itself be firm-specific.

Possible requirements include:

At Least One Trade Minimum Realized Profit Minimum Daily Gain Other Activity Threshold

The agent does not invent the qualification definition.

Example:

Profit Target: Complete

Minimum Trading Days: 5

Current: 3

The account may not be in violation.

Instead:

WARNING — Profit target met, but phase-completion requirements remain incomplete.

The agent can also evaluate:

Maximum Trading Days Evaluation Expiry Inactivity Rules

For example:

At least one trade every 30 calendar days.

The agent can track the remaining time when such a rule is supplied.

The skill supports multi-account compliance.

Possible restrictions include:

Maximum Number of Evaluations Maximum Funded Accounts Maximum Aggregate Accounts Household Limits Copy-Trading Restrictions Strategy Duplication Rules Simultaneous Position Rules Aggregate Contract Limits

The agent can maintain:

Account ID Firm Program Phase Platform Strategy Current Contracts Current Exposure Current Drawdown Rule Version

Copy-trading rules are treated carefully.

Possible firm distinctions include:

Copying Between Own Accounts Copying Between Firms Third-Party Copy Services Managed Trading Signal Services Identical Trade Timing Cross-Account Hedging

The agent never assumes these activities are allowed or prohibited without the firm's supplied rule.

The agent can identify prohibited strategies when explicitly defined by the firm.

Possible examples include:

Latency Arbitrage Stale-Price Exploitation Cross-Account Hedging Prohibited Copy Trading Group Trading Restricted Automated Strategies News Straddling Platform Exploitation Certain Martingale Behaviors

It does not invent restrictions that were never supplied.

The agent can perform account-phase comparison.

Possible phases:

Evaluation Verification Funded Simulated Funded Live Funded Payout Qualification Scaling Phase

It can create:

Rule Evaluation Funded Payout Phase Notes

because the same prop firm may apply substantially different restrictions across phases.

The agent supports rule versioning.

Every rule set can record:

Firm Program Account Size Account Type Phase Platform Rule Version Effective Date Source Last Verified

This is critical because prop-firm rules can change.

When current official public verification is needed, the agent can use authoritative sources.

Priority should be given to:

Official Prop-Firm Documentation Official Account Dashboard Rules Official Support Clarification Official Platform Documentation

Community discussion can be useful for context but should not silently override official policy.

When two official sources conflict:

WARNING — Rule conflict requires clarification.

The agent should not choose the more favorable interpretation without evidence.

The skill can normalize natural-language rules into machine-readable logic.

Example:

Firm wording:

"You may not allow account equity to touch or fall below $47,500."

Normalized:

Rule: Hard Equity Floor

Threshold: $47,500

Basis: Account Equity

Comparator: Equity > $47,500

Breach: Equity <= $47,500

This precision matters because:

Below At or Below Touch Exceed Remain Above

can produce different boundary behavior.

The agent can create structured reason codes such as:

PF-001 DAILY_LOSS_LIMIT

PF-002 TRAILING_DRAWDOWN_LIMIT

PF-003 STATIC_DRAWDOWN_LIMIT

PF-004 MAX_CONTRACTS

PF-005 SCALING_PLAN_LIMIT

PF-006 NEWS_RESTRICTION

PF-007 OVERNIGHT_RESTRICTION

PF-008 WEEKEND_RESTRICTION

PF-009 MIN_TRADING_DAYS

PF-010 MAX_TRADING_DAYS

PF-011 CONSISTENCY_RULE

PF-012 PROFIT_TARGET_INCOMPLETE

PF-013 INACTIVITY_RULE

PF-014 PROHIBITED_INSTRUMENT

PF-015 PROHIBITED_STRATEGY

PF-016 COPY_TRADING_RULE

PF-017 MAX_ACCOUNTS

PF-018 STALE_ACCOUNT_STATE

PF-019 AMBIGUOUS_RULE

PF-020 MISSING_RULE

PF-021 PAYOUT_RULE

PF-022 CONTRACT_COUNTING_AMBIGUITY

PF-023 NEWS_DATA_UNVERIFIED

PF-024 ACCOUNT_PHASE_MISMATCH

PF-025 DRAWDOWN_BASIS_MISMATCH

Every decision can include:

Firm Program Account Phase Rule Version Account Timestamp Current Balance Current Equity High-Water Mark Daily P&L Daily Loss Headroom Trailing Threshold Trailing Drawdown Headroom Static Threshold Static Drawdown Headroom Maximum Allowable Additional Loss Current Contracts Maximum Contracts Requested Contracts Maximum Permitted Contracts Consistency Status Profit Target Progress Trading-Day Progress News Status Overnight Status Weekend Status Payout Status Unknowns Rule Ambiguities Reason Codes Final Decision

The agent can produce a full pre-trade table:

Rule | Limit | Current | Proposed Post-Trade | Status

Potential rows include:

Daily Loss Trailing Drawdown Static Drawdown Maximum Contracts Scaling Plan Consistency News Overnight Weekend Minimum Trading Days Profit Target Instrument Permission Strategy Restriction Copy-Trading Rule

A central design principle is:

A trade that is profitable in the trader's strategy model can still be prohibited by prop-firm rules.

No strategy signal can override a hard compliance rule.

The skill is therefore suitable as an independent gate between a trading signal and execution:

TradingView / Strategy Agent → Candidate Trade → Prop Firm Rule Compliance Trading Agent

→ SAFE / WARNING / RULE VIOLATION

→ Human or Execution Layer

For execution-adjacent systems, account state should be revalidated immediately before order submission whenever possible.

A SAFE decision can become stale because:

Another Trade Fills Open P&L Changes Trailing Threshold Moves Contract Count Changes Daily P&L Changes News Window Begins Overnight Cutoff Approaches Firm Rule Version Changes

The agent recognizes concurrency problems in multi-account or multi-strategy environments.

Two trades that appear compliant independently can jointly create a rule violation.

A centralized compliance state is recommended when multiple agents can submit simultaneous trades.

The agent never assists with rule evasion.

It must not:

Hide a Violation Misrepresent Account State Disguise Prohibited Trading Circumvent Maximum Accounts Evade Copy-Trading Restrictions Exploit Platform Errors Falsify Trading Days Manipulate Consistency Reporting

Its purpose is compliance and account preservation.

The skill is especially useful for traders who want a formal rules layer between TradingView or an AI trading system and a prop-firm account, with explicit calculations for:

Risk Budget Remaining Maximum Allowable Loss Distance from Drawdown Maximum Permitted Contracts Target Progress Consistency Progress Trading-Day Progress Time to Restricted News Time to Overnight Cutoff

and a final operational classification of:

SAFE

WARNING

RULE VIOLATION
