Risk Engine

Sub-second violation detection.
Built for prop firms.

Most prop firm tech checks accounts every 30-60 seconds. In that window, a trader can breach a rule, recover the position, and you'd never know it happened. PropForge catches violations in under one second, on a dedicated server, with thousands of checks per second.

The Problem

Slow risk engines let violations slip.

A trader can breach a rule, recover the position before your next polling cycle, and walk away funded. By the time you'd review the trade, the breach is invisible.

In the same 60 seconds, 3 of 5 violations slip through unnoticed on industry tools — recovered before the next polling cycle, never logged, trader stays funded.

Polling-based blind spots

Industry tools poll trading platforms every 30-60s. Anything that happens between polling cycles is invisible. Recovery trades, breach-then-bounce patterns, micro-violations all slip through.

Shared SaaS infrastructure

When 50 prop firms run on the same servers, your detection latency suffers when another firm has a traffic spike. Your data sits next to your competitors'. Your uptime depends on theirs.

No real visibility into trader behavior

When you can't see what's happening live, you discover HFT abuse, copy trading rings, and IP conflicts only after a payout request lands. By then, the trader has already passed your funded checks.

How It Works

Every trade, every account, checked continuously.

The PropForge risk engine runs on a dedicated server per client, performing thousands of checks per second across every active trading account.

When a trader breaches daily drawdown, hits overall drawdown, violates consistency rules, or triggers any other condition, the engine catches it instantly and triggers your defined actions.

  • Sub-second detection. From breach to flag in under one second. Telegram alert to admin within the same second.
  • Dedicated server per firm. Your performance isolated from every other client. Your data sealed off. Your uptime your own.
  • Full audit log. Every check, every flag, every admin action timestamped and stored. Bulletproof records for payout disputes.
  • Custom rules. Whatever your challenge model demands. Trailing drawdown, news trading windows, consistency thresholds, custom logic.

The Detection Race

Same trader. Same breach. Two very different outcomes.

A trader at 14:00:01 breaches the daily drawdown by $200, then closes the position 12 seconds later. Here's exactly what happens on each platform.

Dedicated infrastructure. Per client.

Every PropForge firm runs on its own isolated server stack. No shared databases, no noisy neighbors, no cross-tenant performance issues.

Custom Rules

Build challenges your way. The engine enforces them.

Every challenge has unique rules. The engine evaluates each trader against the exact configuration their challenge demands.

  • 1 to 99 phases. 1-step instant funding, 2-step classic, 3-step demanding evaluation. Whatever your model is.
  • Trailing or static drawdown. Equity-based or balance-based. Per-phase configuration. Toggle on the fly.
  • Consistency rules, free retakes, news filters. Standard templates plus full custom logic for unique abuse patterns.
  • Live changes propagate instantly. Update a rule in admin, the engine picks it up on the next check cycle. No deploys.
Risk Tools

Every form of abuse, detected automatically

Beyond standard rule monitoring, the engine catches the patterns prop firms actually lose money to.

HFT_DETECT

High-Frequency Trading detection

Catches traders running scalping bots that exploit demo-to-funded model. Pattern recognition flags accounts opening hundreds of trades per minute or holding positions for milliseconds.

IP_CONFLICT

IP conflict detection

Flags multiple accounts sharing the same IP address. Catches the classic "buy low, sell high across two accounts" abuse and farming rings before they reach payout stage.

DEVICE_SIG

Device signature conflicts

Goes beyond IP. Browser fingerprinting and device signatures expose VPN-disguised multi-accounting that simple IP checks miss completely.

KYC_CONFLICT

KYC conflict detection

Cross-references KYC data across all your accounts. Same name, same date of birth, same document number on multiple accounts triggers an immediate flag.

COPY_TRADE

Copy trading detection

Identifies accounts mirroring trades within milliseconds of each other. Catches signal-following rings that bypass single-account drawdown limits.

REVERSE_TRADE

Reverse trading detection

Two accounts taking opposite positions on the same instrument at the same time. The classic risk-free arbitrage. Caught and flagged automatically.

NEWS_TRADE

News trading detection

Configurable windows around economic news releases. Flag or auto-close trades opened seconds before NFP, FOMC, CPI, or any custom event you define.

CUSTOM

Custom rules

Whatever pattern you've identified at your firm, we can add it. The risk engine accepts custom rules tailored to your specific abuse patterns and challenge models.

FULL_LOG

Full audit logs

Every check, every flag, every admin action timestamped and stored. When a payout dispute hits, you have an immutable record of exactly what happened and when.

Common Questions

Risk engine FAQ

The questions every prop firm founder asks before integrating.

Why does sub-second detection actually matter?

Because everything in a prop firm runs on simulated/demo accounts. The risk isn't direct dollar loss — it's violations slipping through unnoticed. A trader can breach a rule for 5 seconds, recover, and continue trading without ever being flagged by polling-based systems. Sub-second detection means every breach is logged, regardless of how briefly the threshold is crossed.

Does the engine work with my trading platform?

Yes. MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, TradeLocker, Match-Trader, DXTrade and other major platforms are supported. Trade data flows into the engine in real time regardless of which platform your traders use.

Can I write custom rules unique to my firm?

Yes. We've built custom rule logic for partner firms targeting specific abuse patterns: minimum holding times, max position sizing relative to balance, time-window restrictions, instrument-specific drawdowns, and more. If you can describe it, we can engineer it.

Is each prop firm really on a dedicated server?

Yes. Every PropForge client gets dedicated, scalable infrastructure. No shared databases, no shared compute. Your performance and uptime are insulated from every other firm running on PropForge.

What happens when a trader disputes a violation?

You have a full timestamped audit log. Every check the engine performed, every flag, every action taken — all stored permanently. You can show the trader exactly when the breach occurred, what equity level triggered it, and how the system responded.

How are violations communicated to my admin team?

Telegram alerts to your admin team within the same second a violation is detected. Plus admin dashboard, email notifications, and webhooks if you want to integrate with your own tooling. All channels are configurable.
