What's shipped.

When the circuit breaker trips, Gate 8 now locks new trades for the rest of that trading day and the next trading day, then starts a fresh count. Before this it held until your recent total recovered, but a locked trader cannot place the trades that would move the total, so on the free plan it could stay locked indefinitely. The lock ends at midnight Prague time on the second day, and the sessions up to the day it tripped no longer count.

One-click execution is live on MetaTrader 5, the way it has been on cTrader since July. When a ticket comes back CLEARED and your terminal is paired, click Enter trade. The small Expert Advisor running in your own terminal places that one order with the stop attached and reports the fill back to your workstation. It never places a trade you did not click. If your terminal is closed, nothing places. If you have both platforms linked, a Place on switch picks which one.

Gate 2 now speaks plain language while you fill in the ticket. Declare a level on a higher timeframe that price has not reached yet and that sits beyond your entry, and the ticket tells you to expect price to go there first. Set a target larger than the range this session usually covers, and it says the trade may take more than one session. Leave the plan incomplete, with no price that proves the idea wrong, no alternative path if it does not trigger, or no further targets, and it asks you to write those down before you enter. These are advisories. They never change the verdict; they show you what the plan is missing while you can still fix it.

Levels recorded in advance. Save your entry and stop as a setup before the session and the ticket for that trade shows Levels recorded in advance ✓. Move those levels to fit the trade, or never save them at all, and the ticket carries an advisory instead. The levels that hold are the ones you drew cold, before the session, and did not move.

EXIT CODE now works with MetaTrader 5 as well as cTrader. Paid members get a small Expert Advisor from the site, pair it once with an 8-character code from the new MT5 page in your account, and from then on your terminal sends your equity, balance, open positions and closed trades to your workstation every few seconds. The day-loss standing, the verified-journal record and the lockouts run off that feed, the same way they run off cTrader's.

Two things to know. The EA never places a trade you did not click, never sees your password, and nothing the server sends it can open, close or change a position on its own. Superseded in September 2026: the EA now places the single order you click Enter trade on. See the September entry above. The one exception is a switch that is off by default: set your own daily loss limit in the EA's inputs and turn on close-at-limit, and the EA will close your open positions when that line is hit. That check runs on your own machine from your own numbers and keeps working if our server is unreachable.

The gates run where you trade with us. Your broker's own apps, including the MT5 phone app, remain your own responsibility; trades placed there still land in your ledger and count against your day, they just do not get checked first.

Superseded in September 2026: one-click execution on MetaTrader 5 is now live. See the entry above. What is not in this release: executing a cleared ticket straight into MT5 from the site, which cTrader members already have. That is next. Test on a demo account first, and check your firm's rules on Expert Advisors before attaching it to a funded account.

If you were on the free plan and opened the backtester, you got a wall asking you to upgrade. That was wrong. The free plan has always included the backtester on sample data, and the page was blocking you from the thing it advertised.

Fixed. On the free plan you now get the sample chart with all eight gates running live: load it, step through the bars, and watch the gates block the trades that empty accounts. Replaying your own broker history is still part of the Challenge Pass and Founder, because that needs your account connected.

If you signed up free before today and hit that wall, it was our bug, not your plan. Nothing to do, just open it again.

Three changes worth knowing about. First, the free plan now includes all eight gates, run on your own setups, self-reported. Paying is no longer about unlocking gates; it wires them to your real cTrader or MetaTrader 5 account so the answers come from your broker's fills instead of your memory. Free checks your rules. Paid holds you to them.

Second, there's a new way to pay: the Challenge Pass. $149 once, 60 days of the full system, nothing renews. Built for the length of a prop-firm challenge attempt. The monthly Founder plan also now starts with 14 days free, no card.

Third, under the hood: your cTrader connection credentials are now encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM, with the key held separately from the data), verified in production with zero unencrypted records remaining.
