The rule set

Fourteen ways accounts die.
Fourteen locks.

Every rule below is enforced at the connection, before the order reaches the broker. None of them can be loosened mid-session. Set them sober; they do the rest.

Drawdown & Loss

04 RULES

The rules that keep one bad session from becoming a dead account. These watch money, not behavior — hard numeric floors under everything you do.

01

Trailing Drawdown Monitor

The floor rises as the account grows. RedLine tracks the gap between your peak and your current balance or equity, continuously.

HOW IT FIRES

When the gap exceeds your limit, every position is closed at market. Optionally, trading locks until the session ends — no re-entry while you argue with the chart.

TRACK FROM balance / equity · LIMIT fixed amount or percent · LOCK on breach on / off
02

Max Loss Per Trade

A ceiling on what any single trade is allowed to cost you. Not your average loss — your worst one.

HOW IT FIRES

The moment one open position exceeds the ceiling, that position is closed. The rest of the book is untouched.

LIMIT fixed amount or % of balance
03

Max Floating Loss

Totals unrealised loss across every open position. Five small losers are still one big loss.

HOW IT FIRES

When combined floating loss hits the number, the entire book is flattened. Optionally locks trading afterwards.

LIMIT fixed amount · LOCK on breach on / off
04

Weekly Loss Cap

Counts realised losses across the week in your timezone. The slow bleed rule — for the trader who never blows up in a day but is down every Friday.

HOW IT FIRES

At the cap, new trades stop until the weekly reset you configured.

CAP fixed amount · WEEK STARTS day + time · TIMEZONE yours

Position & Size

02 RULES

The rules that stop the doubling-down reflex. Sizing errors are tilt made visible — these make them impossible instead of regrettable.

05

Max Margin Usage

A cap on how much of your margin can ever be in use — your leverage ceiling, enforced.

HOW IT FIRES

Any order that would push margin usage past the cap is rejected before it reaches the broker. Existing exposure is monitored for spikes.

MAX MARGIN USED percent
06

Max Positions Open

How many trades can be live at once. The plan says two; the eleventh order says otherwise.

HOW IT FIRES

Orders beyond the cap never route. There is nothing to close because nothing was allowed to open.

MAX OPEN POSITIONS integer

Consistency & Behavior

03 RULES

The rules that watch the trader, not the trade. Prop firms fail people on behavior — these are the behavioral locks.

07

Consistency Rule

Limits how much of your total profit any single day may contribute, measured over a rolling window. One monster day is how challenges get failed on day eight.

HOW IT FIRES

When a day approaches your share limit, RedLine flags and enforces it so the distribution stays inside the line.

MAX SHARE FROM ONE DAY percent · WINDOW rolling trading days
08

Loss Streak

After N consecutive losing trades, you are done — for the rest of the day or for a fixed cooldown. The streak ends whether you agree or not.

HOW IT FIRES

The Nth consecutive loser pauses trading. New orders are refused until the pause expires.

LOSSES BEFORE PAUSE integer · PAUSE rest of day or set minutes
09

Emotional Trading Block

A mandatory cooldown after every loss. The revenge trade has a ninety-second half-life; this outlasts it.

HOW IT FIRES

Every closed loser starts the timer. Until it expires, new entries are refused.

COOLDOWN minutes after a loss

Time-Based

05 RULES

The rules that fence the clock. Most damage happens at specific, predictable times — news prints, Friday closes, the hour after your edge stops existing.

10

News Blackout

Blocks trading around high-impact economic releases — before the print, through it, and out the other side.

HOW IT FIRES

Inside the window, affected entries are refused and exposed positions are closed ahead of the print. Filter by importance, currency, or symbol.

WINDOW minutes before / after · IMPORTANCE high, medium+, all · FILTER currencies or symbols, optional
11

No Weekend Holding

Flattens the book before the weekend and refuses new entries into it. Gap risk is not a strategy.

HOW IT FIRES

At your cutoff, open positions close and entries stop; trading reopens at the day and time you set.

CLOSE day + time · REOPEN day + time · TIMEZONE yours
12

No Overnight Holding

The same fence, nightly. Closes at session end, refuses entries in the final window.

HOW IT FIRES

Positions close at cutoff; entries resume at reopen time.

CLOSE time · REOPEN time · TIMEZONE yours
13

Trading Hours

Your allowed window, per weekday, enforced to the minute. If your edge lives in London morning, so does your access.

HOW IT FIRES

Outside a window, entries are refused. Optional auto-close at the bell.

WINDOWS per-day start / end · TIMEZONE yours
14

Max Trade Duration

A hard holding time per position. The trade you are "giving room" is usually a loss you are postponing.

HOW IT FIRES

A position held past your limit is closed, after a short grace period.

MAX DURATION minutes per position

Pick your fourteen. Or start with two.

Max Loss Per Trade and Max Positions Open end most accounts' worst habits on day one. The rest are waiting when you are.
