You Focus on Profits — We Protect Your Account

In trading, profits are only part of the equation. The real challenge — especially for prop traders and funded account managers — is staying within strict risk parameters. A single breach of your drawdown limit or a momentary lapse in discipline can mean losing your funding overnight.

That’s why Social Trader Tools’ Equity Monitor exists — a 24/7, cloud-based risk management system that works silently in the background, protecting your capital while you focus on trading.


Built for Prop Firm Compliance

Prop firms are ruthless when it comes to risk rules. Maximum daily loss, total drawdown, and position size limits leave no room for error. The Equity Monitor ensures you never cross these lines by automating intervention before a violation occurs.

  • Custom Drawdown Limits: Set thresholds as a percentage of equity or a fixed dollar/euro amount.
  • Layered Protection: Configure multiple conditions for different trading sessions or market conditions.
  • Pre-Breach Intervention: The system acts before your account hits a critical level — not after the damage is done.

Three Levels of Automated Protection

  1. Yellow Alert — Warning
    Get notified via email, SMS (optional), and your dashboard when equity is approaching a set threshold.

  2. Orange Alert — Intervention
    The system automatically disables trade copying and blocks new positions, letting you close only existing trades.

  3. Red Alert — Emergency Action
    Immediate closure of all open positions, full account lock, and emergency contact notifications — protecting your capital instantly.


Beyond Alerts — Total Control

The Equity Monitor doesn’t just tell you there’s a problem — it acts on it.
Features include:
- Instant Trade Closure on threshold breach.
- Disable Copying Mode to prevent additional risk exposure.
- Detailed Compliance Logs for reporting to prop firms or clients.
- Multi-Account Monitoring for traders managing several funded accounts at once.


Cloud-Native Reliability

Unlike manual monitoring or VPS-based setups, the Equity Monitor runs on STT’s secure, 99.9% uptime cloud infrastructure. That means: - No downtime during updates.
- Protection active anywhere in the world.
- Fully compatible with mobile monitoring — trade from your MT4/MT5 app while STT keeps watch.


Use Cases

  • Prop Firm Traders: Set an 8% threshold to protect against a 10% maximum drawdown limit. Let the system close positions before a breach ends your evaluation.
  • Portfolio Managers: Apply different thresholds to separate accounts to maintain client-specific risk profiles.
  • Personal Traders: Automate loss limits to prevent emotional overtrading and revenge trading.

The Competitive Edge

Risk control isn’t just about protection — it’s a competitive advantage. Traders with automated safeguards trade with greater confidence, take smarter risks, and maintain long-term account health.

With Equity Monitor, you’re not just playing defense — you’re enabling yourself to stay in the game and keep compounding profits.
