Compliance & Risk Disclosure

What Rule Guardian is

Rule Guardian is a software tool that helps prop-funded futures traders operate multiple accounts under a single set of risk rules. It connects to your brokerage and prop-firm accounts through their official APIs, monitors your live positions and balances, and applies the rule set you configure (drawdown guards, news-window blocks, position sizing across accounts, and so on). It also offers a copy-trading layer that routes your trades to your connected accounts with optional pre-flight checks against your configured rules.

What Rule Guardian is not

• Not a guarantee of compliance. Rule Guardian helps you trade compliantly across multiple prop firm accounts. We do notguarantee compliance with any specific firm’s rules — those rules can change without notice, are enforced at each firm’s discretion, and ultimately you are responsible for understanding the terms of every funded account you connect.
• Not investment advice. We do not recommend trades, instruments, strategies, or firms. The Service is a tool. Trading decisions are yours.
• Not a registered broker-dealer, FCM, or RIA. Rule Guardian does not hold customer funds and does not act as an intermediary in any trade. All orders are submitted through your own connected brokerage accounts under your own credentials.
• Not a guarantee of execution. We do not guarantee that any specific order will be submitted, received, accepted, or filled at any particular price. Network failures, broker outages, API rate limits, and other conditions can prevent orders from reaching the destination.

Affiliate relationships

We maintain affiliate or referral arrangements with several prop firms. When you click through to a partner firm from our site and subsequently purchase an evaluation or funded account, we may receive a commission, and you may receive a discount via a Rule Guardian promo code. The current list of firms with which we have an active affiliate relationship is shown on our Prop firm directory page, and our Find Your Firm quiz transparently indicates which results are sponsored.

Affiliate compensation does not change the technical compatibility ratings or the rule-mechanics data we publish about a firm. We disclose these relationships openly so you can weigh our recommendations in context.

How our risk engine works (and its limits)

Our portfolio risk engine uses techniques such as reasonable timing variance between accounts, position-sizing variance, and pre-flight rule checks against each account’s known constraints. These techniques are designed to support human-style trading patterns across multiple connected accounts. We make no claim that these techniques guarantee you will not be flagged by a prop firm for using a trade copier or for any other reason. Some firms explicitly prohibit copy trading or third-party automation; other firms allow it under specific conditions; many firms update their policies frequently.

We make a best-effort attempt to understand and reflect each firm’s current policy in our compatibility data, but you are responsible for verifying your firm’s current Terms of Use before using Rule Guardian on that firm’s accounts. If a firm’s rules change after you start using the Service, you are responsible for re-checking and adjusting your configuration.

Risk disclosure

Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You can lose more than your initial investment. In funded-account programs you may incur additional costs from resets, breaches, monthly fees, and rule violations. Past performance — yours, ours, or any third party’s — is not indicative of future results. Hypothetical or simulated results have inherent limitations and should not be relied on as a predictor of live outcomes.

Consider whether trading is appropriate for your financial situation and risk tolerance before connecting any funded account to Rule Guardian. If in doubt, consult a qualified financial professional.
