Prop Firm Trading Bot

Problem

Prop firm trading challenges have strict rules: max 5% daily loss, 10% total drawdown, minimum trading days. Manual trading makes it hard to stay disciplined during volatile sessions. Emotional decisions break risk limits.

Approach

Built Python-based execution system with pre-trade risk checks, position sizing based on account equity, and automatic session shutdown at loss limits. Backtested on 2 years of futures data. Logs every decision for review.

Stack

Outcome

Passed 2 prop firm challenges (FTMO, E8) without hitting daily loss limits. Average trade duration: 4 hours. Win rate: 58%. Sharpe ratio: 1.7. Not financial advice.
