The Problem

Prop firm accounts don't fail because of bad strategy.
They fail because MT5 has no risk governor.

FTMO, FundedNext, Seacrest — every prop firm sets drawdown rules. But MT5 doesn't enforce them. It does exactly what you tell it — including the revenge trade at 4:47pm that breaches your daily limit. Shield enforces what MT5 won't.

Failure Analysis

Four failure modes
destroy funded accounts.

Every prop firm breach traces back to one of these. None are strategy failures. All are enforcement failures that MT5 cannot prevent.

IDModeDescriptionSev
001Session OverrunPositions held past risk window. Overnight gaps compound loss.
002Exposure DriftCorrelated pairs stacked without aggregate cap enforcement.
003Revenge ExecEmotional recovery trade doubles the drawdown.
004Floor BreachProp firm daily limit exceeded. MT5 doesn't enforce it.
Shield Response Enforcing

Enforce the floor.
At the terminal.

Shield sits on your MT5 terminal as a compiled Expert Advisor. When a threshold is hit, trading stops. No confirmation dialog. No manual bypass. No override.

Architecture

Seven layers. Zero gaps.

Defence-in-depth. Each layer enforces independently. Seven independent governors, any one of which stops a breach.
