What is the Guardian Shield?

How Guardian Shield Risk Works On All Accounts

Updated over 5 months ago

Our analysis shows that exceeding the Maximum Daily Drawdown is the main cause of account breaches, accounting for over 73% of all breaches. Our most profitable traders are those who cut losses quickly and let winning trades run. The Guardian Shield encourages proper risk management for consistent profitability.

​All Funded Accounts:
If your PnL on open trades reaches a 2% loss (1% loss on instant account), Guardian Shield will, in most cases, automatically close all open trades for all symbols. This is a soft breach, and you may immediately begin trading afterward.

Example:
You have a balance of $100,000 and 3 open trades. Your open PnL reaches a total loss of $2,000 (2%). The Guardian Shield will automatically close all trades. You can continue trading as you like afterwards.

Guardian Shield is an important risk management tool that helps prevent traders from blowing their funded accounts, and ultimately helps create more consistent profits with increased risk management.

Guardian Shield Breach Consequences for 1 Step, 2 Step Standard, 2 Step Pro, 3 Step and Instant Model :
• 1st Breach: Profit split reduced to 50%.
• 2nd Breach: The account is permanently breached.

Guardian Shield Breach Consequences for 2 Step Classic Funded Account Model:
1st Breach: Allowed once as a warning.
2nd Breach: Profit split reduced to 50%.
3rd Breach: The account is breached.

Important Notice: The Guardian Shield does not reset once triggered, and the profit split cannot be reinstated. These changes are permanent and cannot be reversed.
