Getting Started with PipsGuard

Step 1: Create Your Account

Go to app.pipsguard.com/register. Enter your email and create a password. Verify your email address by clicking the link we send you.

Step 2: Choose Your Plan

Select the plan that matches your needs:

• Guardian ($49/mo) — 1 MT5 account with all custom rules
• Sentinel ($89/mo) — 3 MT5 accounts with all custom rules
• Overlord ($149/mo) — 7 MT5 accounts with a dedicated IP

Annual billing saves up to 22%. Need more accounts than your plan includes? Add extra account slots for $25/mo each ($20/mo billed annually) any time from your dashboard.

Step 3: Connect Your MT5 Account

From your dashboard, click "Add Account." Enter your broker name, MT5 server address, MT5 login number, and MT5 password.

PipsGuard will securely connect to your broker. This typically takes 30–60 seconds. You'll see a green "Connected" status when ready. Your MT5 login is used only to connect your account — from here on, you place your trades inside the PipsGuard app, not in the MetaTrader terminal.

Step 4: Configure Your Rules

Navigate to the Rules tab for your account. Enable the rules you want — start with these essentials:

• Trailing Drawdown — set your maximum drawdown percentage
• Max Margin Usage — cap leverage exposure as a % of equity
• Max Loss Per Trade — cap risk per position

Each rule has configurable parameters. Set them according to your trading plan or prop firm requirements.

Step 5: Trade Normally

Place your trades through PipsGuard and trade as you normally would. PipsGuard works around the clock — even while you sleep, with your PC off. When a rule is breached, enforcement happens automatically — positions close, trades get blocked, or trading pauses depending on the rule.

What Happens Next?

Your account is now protected. Your rules stay active around the clock, even while you sleep. Check your dashboard for rule breach notifications, trading analytics, and account status.
