Eval / Prop-Firm Budget
Set what you're willing to spend on evaluations each month and log each purchase on the day you bought it. Once this month's spend meets the budget, the Firewall says so every morning: no new evals until next month. The accounts you already have trade as normal, with the check running every day. Two failed evals in a row start seven days on SIM before the next one. Off by default; skip it and everything else works exactly the same.
Buying a fresh eval account often means unconsciously trading looser — a clean slate feels like less to lose than the account you've already put work into. A budget you can quietly raise on the one month you want to buy another eval isn't a budget — it only works if it doesn't bend.
No Broker Integration — Self-Logged, On Purpose
There's no payment feed to verify this automatically, so it works the same way the daily drawdown guardrail does: you log each eval purchase yourself. Same honor-system convention as everything else in LAYER 0 that isn't read from a broker directly — the value is in having the number in front of you, not in policing receipts.
Locked While You're Over Budget
Same principle as the Trading Window: a safety setting you can edit exactly when it would let you escape isn't a safety setting. While you're over this month's budget, the setting page won't let you raise it, and logged purchases can't be deleted — the one moment you'd be tempted to move the line is the one moment you can't.
Common Questions
Does this block a trade already in progress?
No. It only blocks starting a new Firewall Check once the budget is met — it draws the line at buying another eval, not at anything you're already trading.
What resets the budget?
The calendar month, based on your device's local time — same convention every date-based feature in LAYER 0 uses.
