Who places the trades?

You do. You build and arm the agent yourself, and it runs on your own broker account through your own connection, so every order is yours. Before each order is sent, a firm-aware risk engine checks it against your rules and blocks anything that would breach. You can pause or disarm any agent at any time.

Is this only for prop-firm traders?

Prop-firm traders are the core audience, but the same platform works on any account you connect. Build a strategy, backtest it, run it, and watch the live account. You do not need a challenge to use the tool.

What does "AI" mean here?

It means the platform can host user-authored automation that may use AI or machine-learning logic. We do not promise alpha, prediction, or guaranteed outcomes.

Can I start with a simple rule?

Yes. The simplest path is the quick-rule flow: describe the trade, test it, then deploy it without building a full code project.

What is the marketplace rev share?

When authors sell strategies through the marketplace, Glitch Executor takes 30% and the author keeps 70%.

Which brokers and firm contexts are supported?

cTrader, TradeLocker, DXtrade, and MT4/MT5 via MetaApi for brokers; FundingPips Zero, FTMO Phase 1, MFF, Apex, The5ers, and GetLeveraged Turbo in Firm Mode.

What is a trailing drawdown?

A drawdown limit that re-anchors to your highest balance. FundingPips Zero, Apex, and GetLeveraged Turbo use trailing DD — your floor only moves up.

Static vs trailing — which is stricter?

Trailing is stricter on profitable accounts (the floor follows you up). Static is stricter on accounts that never get into profit (your floor stays at the initial offset).

Does this account for the daily loss cap?

Yes — the second result block shows the daily-loss floor and how far you are from breaching it today.

Why does the firm I picked show a different drawdown than I expected?

Firm rules change. The numbers come from src/lib/firmRules.ts which is audited quarterly. Verify with the firm directly before funding.

Is this a guarantee I won't bust?

No — slippage, news events, weekend gaps, and platform downtime can all breach a floor that the math says is safe.

Firm-rule drawdown calculator

Pick a firm and your current balance. The calculator shows the exact equity level at which the firm closes you out — accounting for trailing-DD firms that anchor against your highest balance.

Equity floor (max overall)

$95,000

Breach distance: $5,000 (5.00%)

Trailing DD — anchored to highest balance.

Daily loss floor (today)

$97,000

Daily breach distance: $3,000 (3.00%)

How to use this calculator

Enter your starting balance. The account size you funded or were assigned for the challenge.
Pick the firm. Each firm has its own drawdown reference (static vs trailing) and percentage.
For trailing-DD firms, enter your highest balance reached. The drawdown floor follows your peak — once equity touches the floor, the account busts.
Read the equity floor + breach distance. The first number is the exact USD value the firm will close you out at; the second is how far you are from it right now.
