Prop Firm Rules Without the Spreadsheet

June 3, 2026

Prop firm traders live inside tight boxes: daily loss limits, max lot size, minimum hold times, news restrictions. Spreadsheets and mental math fail when you are tilted. CalmYourCap lets you encode the rules you already agreed to — and enforces only what you turn on.

Your rules, not AI whim

Alex Deep includes optional prop firm templates and lockouts. You choose daily loss caps, max trades per session, cooldown after breaches, and strict stop requirements. When a limit trips, Execute stops — because you configured it, not because the coach had a bad opinion about your setup.

Coach advisories still run

Even when limits are off, Alex flags breach risk: "You are one trade from daily max loss." That is coaching. Proceeding anyway gets logged for debrief — no shame theater, just data for Sunday's discipline review on Alex Deep.

Bridge + desk in one loop

Connect MT4/MT5 via encrypted bridge token — passwords never stored. Live balance, equity, and positions sync to the Trade desk. Plan-scoped setups, news calendar, and Execute sit beside Alex so prop traders can prep, coach, and click in one institutional layout.

Psychology is still the edge

Passing evals is not only math — it is stopping after the second loss when your rules say stop. Prop templates handle the spreadsheet; Alex handles the urge to break the spreadsheet. Together they protect the account you are trying to grow.

Who this is for

Funded and evaluation traders who want guardrails without giving up discretion. If you need enterprise team licensing or custom rule engines, contact enterprise@calmyourcap.com. For solo traders, Alex Deep on the app covers prop templates and weekly discipline reporting.
