Risk Engine

Enforce every account's rules while the trade is live.

MimikTrader monitors each copied account in real time and acts when a configured rule is breached — daily loss, trailing drawdown, profit protection, auto-flatten, and account locks.

Rule types

The rules prop firm traders actually need to enforce.

Each rule is configured per account (or per copy group, where the rule is naturally group-scoped) and checked on every tick of the live trade.

Daily loss limits

Stop an account when it reaches the daily loss limit you configure. Checked on every tick, not just at order placement.

Trailing drawdown

Monitor drawdown behavior against the rules you set for that account, including scale-with-profit drawdown for funded accounts.

Profit drawdown

Cap how much an open loss can give back against your profit base — the greater of the day's realized profit and your trailing drawdown amount — so a winning session does not turn into a loss. Configurable per account.

Auto-flatten on breach

The moment the live engine detects a breach, open positions on that account are flattened automatically — before the damage compounds.

Account locks

After a rule breach, new copied trades are blocked from entering that account until the lock is cleared.

Always verify your current prop firm rules and configure your limits correctly. Prop firm rules can change.

How it works

Enforcement is built into the copy flow.

Risk checks are not a separate process — they are part of how every copied trade enters and lives in each account.

Step 01

Leader trade placed

You place a trade on the leader account from your platform.

Step 02

Pre-trade rule check

MimikTrader checks each follower account's settings — sizing, configured risk rules, and account state.

Step 03

Valid orders routed

Followers that pass pre-trade checks receive the copied order with the correct sizing.

Step 04

Live monitoring

Each account is monitored against its own daily loss, drawdown, and profit-drawdown limits while the trade is live.

Step 05

Breach action triggered

If an account breaches a configured rule, MimikTrader flattens the position and locks the account automatically.

Step 06

Event recorded

The fill, breach, flatten action, and account lock are written to the audit trail with timestamps.

Per-account isolation

One breach should not take down every account.

Each account in MimikTrader can use its own rules. If one account breaches a limit, that account can be flattened or locked without stopping the entire copy group.

Example

You run five accounts. Account 02 has a smaller balance and tighter daily loss. When Account 02 reaches its limit, MimikTrader locks Account 02 while Accounts 01, 03, 04, and 05 continue following the copy group.

Auto-flatten and lock

Flatten the account before the mistake spreads.

When a configured risk rule is breached, MimikTrader can flatten the affected account and block new trades from entering it.

  • Close open position on breach
  • Lock account after breach
  • Block new copied trades
  • Record the event
  • Keep unaffected accounts active

In a live trade

What happens when one account breaks a rule?

One leader trade. Five follower accounts. One breach. Here is what MimikTrader does about it.

Step 01

Trade copied across five accounts

You place a trade on the leader account. MimikTrader sends the correct order to each follower based on its copy settings.

Step 02

One account reaches its daily loss limit

Account 03 hits the configured daily loss threshold while the copied position is still live.

Step 03

MimikTrader flattens the affected account

The breached account is closed according to your configured flatten rule.

Step 04

The account is locked

New copied trades are blocked from entering that account until the lock is cleared.

Step 05

Other accounts keep running

Accounts 01, 02, 04, and 05 continue following the copy group because they did not breach their rules.

Step 06

The event is recorded

The fill, breach, flatten action, account lock, and timestamp are written to the trade record.

Audit trail

Every risk event is visible.

Copied orders, fills, rule checks, breach events, flatten actions, account locks, and account status changes are recorded so you can review what happened.

FAQ

Risk Engine — common questions

No. It enforces the rules you configure, but you are responsible for confirming those rules and understanding broker, market, latency, and prop firm limitations.

Yes. Independent rules per account is one of the main reasons to use MimikTrader. Daily loss, drawdown, profit drawdown, and lock behavior are all per-account.

New copied trades are blocked from that account based on your lock settings. Other accounts in the copy group continue to follow the leader if their own rules have not been breached.

No. It adds a software control layer on top of broker and exchange behavior. Your broker, exchange, and prop firm rules still apply.

Trades are evaluated in real time. The risk monitor reacts to live price ticks rather than polling on an interval, so enforcement happens while the trade is live, not after.
