How it works
One day with PropClamp, on the real app.
It locks your risk plan before the open. After a loss it starts the cooldown clock and never sizes you up. When your limit is used, it tells you the day is done.
Works with prop accounts on Tradovate only, for now.
From the open to the limit
Four moments of one trading day.
All four on one sample plan: $200 session loss limit, $100 a trade, 3 trades, 2 losses. Pick a moment to see its screen.
Connect your Tradovate login once. Each morning PropClamp reads your balance and floor and sets the day from your buffer: here, a $200 session loss limit and $100 a trade, 3 trades and 2 losses. Hold to lock it.
Why you'll follow it tomorrow
Every day gets a result. Broken days stay on the calendar.
PropClamp can't take the trade away from you. It makes sure you see what it did. At the close, every session gets a day result, and the Record keeps them.
- Plan kept or Broke planEvery session, even a green one: the 5th ended in profit and is still marked broken.
- A streak to protectThe Record counts the days in a row you kept the plan, and your longest run.
- After plans endedIt adds up what the trades after the plan ended did, in dollars and in days of buffer.
The four day results
- Plan kept
- Nothing in your recorded trades broke the plan you locked.
- Broke plan
- A recorded trade went past the plan: over a limit or the contract ceiling, inside the cooldown clock, or after the day was done.
- Couldn't check everything
- Something could not be read, like an account or a trade, so the day is not marked kept and the streak does not count it.
- No plan was set
- No plan was locked for the day.
The connection
Connect your Tradovate login once.
You connect your own Tradovate login through Tradovate’s own sign-in. PropClamp reads your accounts, and writes one setting when you turn the broker stop on. It never places, changes or cancels an order. Broker stop: Opening at launch

The rules the day runs on.
The same rules every session. Nothing loosens once your plan is locked.
Locked means locked.
Once you lock your plan on Start the day, it can’t be edited. A win doesn’t refill the session loss limit, and the per-trade risk never goes up.
Tighten now, loosen tomorrow.
Your risk plan is three numbers in Settings: max trades per day, losses before the day ends, and the losing days your buffer must survive. Tightening applies as soon as you save. Loosening starts the next trading day.
Ten minutes after every loss.
Each recorded loss starts the cooldown clock, even if PropClamp was closed when the trade ended. The clock never runs into the next trading day.
The first limit ends the day.
Your session loss limit, the losses you set or the trades you set: whichever runs out first, the day is done. Quick Size shows 0 until your next locked plan.
Sized at the desk.
Quick Size needs a PropClamp window at least 900 pixels wide. In a narrower window or on a phone, PropClamp shows what is left of the day and doesn’t size.
Recorded with the app closed.
Once your login is connected, PropClamp reads your Tradovate accounts every minute, with the app open or not, and records each finished trade. With the app closed, a trade can take about a minute to be recorded.
Week after week
It grows with your buffer.
Over weeks, not within a day: each morning, Start the day reads your buffer again and shows what it covers now.
More losing days covered.
When Tradovate reports the buffer your firm gave the account, your session loss limit is sized from that, so buffer you build shows up as more losing days the account can take, not a bigger limit. When it doesn’t, the limit is sized from the buffer Start the day reads.
NQ and ES, on a funded group.
At a $5,000 group buffer a funded group can size NQ and ES, up to one contract per account, and one more for each $3,000 after that. The per-trade risk still has to cover the stop.
- $5,000
- up to 1
- $8,000
- up to 2
- $11,000
- up to 3
NQ or ES contracts per account, by funded group buffer.
Evaluations stay in micros.
An evaluation group sizes in MNQ and MES at any buffer.
The day stays where the plan set it.
A good morning doesn’t raise today’s session loss limit or size. Whatever the buffer adds waits for your next locked plan.
The next open is yours. Lock the plan before it starts.
