Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Karma Guardian. Can't find your answer? Contact us below.
Can I really track unlimited accounts?
Yes, absolutely. Karma Guardian has no built-in account limits. You can monitor as many accounts as you want simultaneously—whether that's 3 prop firm accounts with different firms, 5 personal trading accounts across different brokers, or any combination.
Each account syncs in real-time with its broker, and you can set custom alert rules for each account individually. Many professional traders we work with track 5-10 accounts simultaneously.
How does Karma Guardian actually help me as a trader?
Karma Guardian addresses the core problem of multi-account management: mental load. When you're tracking multiple accounts manually, part of your brain is always worried about compliance. Did I remember the correct drawdown limit for this account? What's my current drawdown percentage? Am I close to my daily loss limit?
These questions create background anxiety that affects your trading psychology and decision-making.
With Karma Guardian, you offload all of that to automated systems. Intelligent alerts notify you the moment you're approaching any limit. Real-time syncing means you always have accurate data. Prop firm presets eliminate rule-entry mistakes.
The result: you trade with 100% focus on your strategy, knowing that account compliance is being handled automatically and perfectly.
What's the difference between this and just using spreadsheets?
Spreadsheets require manual updates and go stale the moment you enter a trade. Karma Guardian provides:
Real-time data — syncs within 1-5 seconds of any account change
Automatic alerts — notifies you before you breach limits (spreadsheets can't do this)
Zero data entry — no manual updates, no copy-paste errors
Pre-built rules — prop firm presets eliminate setup mistakes
Spreadsheets are where costly mistakes happen. One forgotten update, one miscalculation, and you've failed an evaluation.
How do the smart alerts actually prevent failures?
Smart Alerts work by continuously monitoring your account metrics against rules you define. Here's a real example:
You set your maximum drawdown alert to 80%. As you trade, if your drawdown approaches 80% of your maximum allowed drawdown, you get an instant notification. This gives you time to pause trading, reassess your strategy, or close positions before you actually breach the rule.
Most evaluation failures happen because traders weren't aware they were close to limits. By the time they realize, it's too late. Smart Alerts ensure you're always aware and have time to act.
The goal isn't to help you push limits—it's to give you visibility and control.
Which prop firms are supported with presets?
Karma Guardian includes pre-configured rulesets for major prop firms including:
TakeProfitTrader
Lucid
Apex Trader Funding
Earn2Trade
My Funded Futures
Bulenox
For firms not in our presets, you can easily create custom rules with the same drawdown, daily loss, and profit target logic. As long as your broker connects to NinjaTrader 8, Karma Guardian works seamlessly.
How fast does the account data sync?
Karma Guardian syncs with your broker data in real-time—typically within 1-5 seconds of any account change. Every trade, deposit, or withdrawal is immediately reflected in your unified view.
This means you always have accurate, up-to-the-second information about equity, drawdown, P&L, and account status across all monitored accounts. No manual refresh needed.
Is this compatible with my specific broker and prop firm setup?
Karma Guardian integrates with NinjaTrader 8 and monitors accounts across any broker that NinjaTrader connects to. This includes prop firms, retail brokers, and direct access brokers.
The built-in presets cover major prop firms like TakeProfitTrader, Lucid, TradeDay and FTMO. For firms not in our presets, you can easily create custom rules with the same drawdown, daily loss, and profit target logic.
Bottom line: As long as your broker connects to NinjaTrader 8 (which covers virtually all major trading platforms), Karma Guardian works seamlessly.
What are the system requirements?
Karma Guardian requires:
NinjaTrader 8 (latest version recommended)
Windows 10 or 11
Active internet connection for real-time sync
Valid NinjaTrader connection to your broker(s)
No additional software, servers, or complex setup required. Install once and you're ready to monitor.
How does the 30-day free trial work?
The free trial gives you full access to every feature for 30 days. No credit card required to start. No feature limitations.
Use it exactly as you would with a paid subscription—unlimited accounts, all prop firm presets, full alert customization, everything. After 30 days, you can choose to subscribe for $15/month to continue.
If it's not for you, simply don't subscribe. No commitments, no hassle.
Why is it only $15/month?
We priced Karma Guardian to be a no-brainer for any serious trader. At $15/month, it's less than the cost of a single failed evaluation ($150-500+).
The math is simple: prevent just one failed evaluation per year, and Karma Guardian has paid for itself multiple times over. Most traders prevent several failures, making the ROI significant.
We'd rather have happy, successful traders who stick around for years than squeeze every dollar upfront.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, absolutely. Cancel anytime with no questions asked, no cancellation fees, no hassle. Your subscription simply won't renew at the next billing cycle.
We believe in earning your business every month. If Karma Guardian isn't providing value, you shouldn't pay for it.
