Trade Smart.
Stay Protected.
Plan and manage every trade, have new trades blocked before your loss limit, and learn from a journal that writes itself. One controller on your PC - and on your phone over your Wi-Fi with the Connect plan.
Stop juggling a trade panel, a risk tool and a journal.
Most traders pay for one app to place trades and another to review them, and nothing stands between them and their loss limit. LamsaGuard does all three in one place, and the three parts talk to each other.
Plan, fire and manage.
Size every trade from the money you want to risk, see it on your chart, fire, then protect it with one swipe.
Blocks you before the limit.
Your daily loss and drawdown limits get a safety buffer, and your own trading rules are checked before every trade.
Learn from every trade.
Every trade is journaled for you with its plan, its result in R and the habits behind it. Stats show what to fix first.

One bad day can undo a good month.
Many accounts are not lost to a bad strategy. They are lost in one afternoon: a revenge trade, a stop that gets moved, a limit you forgot to watch. LamsaGuard is built for exactly that afternoon.
Double size to win it back
Two losses in a row and the next trade gets bigger. It is one of the most expensive habits in trading.
Just a few more pips
The stop gets dragged further away, and a small loss slowly becomes a big one.
I did not see the number
Daily loss and drawdown limits are easy to lose track of with several trades open.
Roll the wheel. Watch your chart follow.
Pick what to move: risk, stop loss or target. Then roll. The lines slide on your chart as you roll, and the lot size changes by itself so the planned risk stays at what you chose, never above it (slippage can still add to a loss). Try it: drag the wheel or tap the buttons.
It blocks before your limit. Not after it.
You set your daily loss and your maximum drawdown once. LamsaGuard keeps a safety buffer in front of them, so new trades are stopped while you still have room to breathe. Pick a mode to see what happens.
Orange line: the firewall blocks new trades at $49,100. Red dashed line: your real daily limit, $49,000.
Hand-placed trades in MetaTrader are checked too. If trading is blocked, a trade opened straight in MetaTrader is closed again.
Stopped before the damage
When a rule trips, FIRE locks and the screen says exactly which rule and why. No guessing.
Every rule, one sheet
Tap the firewall card to see each rule, what it has used and what is blocking right now.
Override, with a seat belt
Need to trade past one rule? Pick 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour or rest of day. Your real limits stay protected (on by default).
When the firewall stops you, Emotion Guard keeps you stopped.
The dangerous moment is right after a rule blocks you: the urge to override, switch the firewall off or raise the limit. Arm Emotion Guard while you are calm. When your daily loss, drawdown, max trades, losses in a row, profit target or profit lock rule blocks you, it locks by itself for the rest of the day, or 1, 2 or 4 hours. No override, no firewall OFF, no changing your limits, no new trades. Feeling it before any rule trips? Press Lock me now.
Arm it while you are calm
Choose how long it locks, whether it closes open trades, and a friend to tell by email. Your password makes it a real decision. While armed, override and firewall OFF are off.
It locks when a rule blocks you
A countdown and nothing else. No way back until it ends, even after a restart of MetaTrader. Removing LamsaGuard during a lock is recorded.
Never trapped in a trade
Closing or reducing a trade is never blocked by the lock. Your stops, trailing and firewall limits keep protecting you during the lock.
Honest limit: Emotion Guard works while LamsaGuard runs next to MetaTrader. It is a promise to yourself that LamsaGuard keeps, not a lock on your broker account. Trades from your other EAs are not touched.
Swipe right to protect. Swipe left to take profit.
Every open trade shows its lot, pips, stop, target and money at risk. Manage it with one swipe, or open it for every option. Pick a move:
A journal that writes itself.
Because LamsaGuard planned the trade, it already knows your stop, your target and your risk. Every closed trade lands in your journal with the plan beside the result, no typing needed.
The same controller, wherever your hand is.
Keep the controller in a window beside MetaTrader, or scan a QR code and hold it on your phone on the same Wi-Fi. Both stay in step with your chart.
Straight answers.
The questions traders ask most. There are more on the FAQ page, and our help center has setup guides and a support form.
What is LamsaGuard?
A trade manager, a risk firewall and a trading journal for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, in one controller. It sizes and places your trades, blocks you before your loss limits, and journals every trade with its plan and result.
Which platforms does it work with?
MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, with any broker, on personal or prop-firm accounts. One installer adds the EA to both. LamsaGuard runs on a Windows PC or Windows VPS; a Mac version is not available yet.
Does LamsaGuard trade for me?
No. You decide every trade. LamsaGuard sizes it, checks it against your rules, sends it when you fire, and steps in only to protect your limits.
What happens if my PC is off?
Protection runs while your PC and MetaTrader are running. The stop loss and take profit on each trade stay with your broker either way. You can also run LamsaGuard on your own Windows VPS for protection around the clock; the planned Pro plan is meant to include a VPS.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Basic and Connect both come with a 7-day free trial - no card needed. Just sign up, confirm your email and download LamsaGuard. When the 7 days end, LamsaGuard simply stops until you choose a plan on your account page - nothing is ever charged without you buying. You keep the same username, password and installed app. One free trial per customer and per trading account. Or simply buy and start at once.
How many trading accounts can I use?
As many as you like, on MetaTrader 4 or 5. LamsaGuard works on the account you are trading now; attach the EA to another account and the app follows it - a new prop challenge, a personal account or a demo. Each account keeps its own settings, rules, journal and stats, so nothing is lost when you switch back.
How do I pay, and can I change plans later?
Online through Paddle's secure checkout - your plan starts as soon as the payment is confirmed. Upgrade yourself on your account page any time: you pay only the difference, and the new plan reaches the EA within about 2 minutes, with nothing to reinstall. A downgrade starts at once, with no refund or credit for the rest of the period you already paid.
Can I trade past a rule when I need to?
Yes, with a timed override. Your personal rules pause for the time you choose, while the hard floor still closes trades just before your real daily loss and drawdown limits. It ends by itself.
Trade Smart. Stay Protected.
Trade manager, risk firewall and journal. Set your limits in five minutes and let LamsaGuard hold the line.
