Hey everyone,
Trading NQ on NT8 across different prop firms (Apex, TPT, etc.) was driving me crazy. Not because of the setups, but the mental math to manage strict risk rules.
If you catch a big runner, the 30% consistency rule can accidentally ruin your payout. Plus, tracking intraday trailing drawdown (max open equity) natively in NT8 is basically impossible.
Spreadsheets got too messy, so I used my data background to code a lightweight C# add-on for NT8 connected to a web dashboard. It reads live executions and does the math for you:
- Compliance Tracking: Calculates exact daily loss limits and “survival cushion” (distance to liquidation).
- Live Consistency: Real-time % tracker (Best Day vs Total PnL) so you know exactly when to stop trading to stay compliant.
- Local Copier: Built-in trade copier to mirror executions from a Master account to multiple Followers natively in NT8.
- Analytics: Plots your dynamic equity curve against the trailing DD line, plus standard KPIs (profit factor, expectancy).
Why I’m posting: I got the core build stable and need a handful of serious NT8 traders to beta test it and try to break it.
To respect the sub’s self-promo rules, I won’t drop any links. The tool is 100% free to use while we iron out the bugs.
If you want to help test the risk dashboard or the copier, just drop a comment and I’ll DM you the access details. Also, let me know what other metrics you think are essential for prop firm compliance!

Wow!! Incredible looking dashboard and program. Are you still looking for NT8 testers? If so, I would love to give it a try.
Thanks!!

One thing I’ve noticed is so many people are vibe coding apps nowadays to sell. You say free now, but this implies you want to charge later. This could easily be done with a subscription to a popular LLM. All you have to do is tell the LLM to build a websocket connection between NT and a local running webapp. There are a lot of competition now thanks to LLMs. This can quickly and easily be duplicated. Code is cheap now. I’m probably just a hater though. 
Here is a personal one I created for myself with ElectronJS.

Hey man, fair point tons of quick LLM stuff popping up everywhere, and yeah, code feels super cheap these days lol.
This one wasn’t just vibe-coded though. I spent real time wrestling NT8’s weirdness to get stable live executions, proper trailing DD calc (max open equity), no-lag multi-account sync, etc. That stability in fast NQ moves actually took a bunch of trial and error.
Right now I’m just hunting a few solid NT8 traders to beta test and try breaking it. 100% free while we fix bugs. No paywall talk yet.
If you’re up for poking around and telling me what crashes or just plain sucks, that’d be awesome — I specifically want skeptical/experienced folks like you to test it and see what breaks. No pressure, but if it sounds interesting, check it out: www.tgtjournal.com
