Risk alerts: daily loss limit, drawdown room and Telegram

Updated September 4, 2026

Propfy warns you as the day's loss climbs toward the limit, and it measures every account against that account's own limit rather than a blended total.

In the app. The daily loss meter fills as the session goes: safe to 40% of the limit, warning from 40%, critical from 80%. Risk Guardian raises an alert at 50%, 75% and 95% of the account's limit. Live Coach interrupts you during the session when a close crosses the warning tier or reaches the limit, capped at five interruptions a day so the ones you get are worth reading.

On Telegram. The 75% and 95% alerts also push to Telegram once you have linked it. Telegram alerts are included from Pro upward.

1. Connect TopstepX under Accounts. Your balance and the parameters for the account's size sync from the broker, so a Topstep 150K account is measured against the published Daily Loss Limit for that size, synced from your account.

2. On another broker, or on a CSV account, open Accounts and enter the limit yourself.

3. Optional: set your own daily loss limit, tighter than the firm's. Where you set one, Propfy measures you against yours.

4. In Settings, open Notifications, press Connect Telegram, start the bot, then switch Telegram on.

Accounts you keep by CSV only move when you import, so their alerts arrive with the file rather than with the trade.

Firm rules change; the account's own parameters are the authority.

Risk Disclosure

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect trading results.
