Summary
All your connected accounts in one table: the day's P&L, how much you have left to the daily limit and to the drawdown, and which one is locked. The ones doing worst show up first.

ETF Control Center for NinjaTrader 8
Your prop firm accounts, their limits and a Guardian that protects them, in a single window inside NinjaTrader.
Leo, the founder, has blown more than 300 accounts. Many for the same reason: he kept trading when it was time to stop. The Guardian came out of that, and the rest of the Center was built around it.

What the first version includes
Seven tabs, plus the Journal in its usual menu. Only the Guardian sends orders; everything else is read-only.
Accounts
You tell it which firm and plan each account is, and it applies their rules: drawdown floor, daily limit, target, consistency and traded days. The templates come from the same database our comparison tool uses.
Guardian
It watches every account you protect: daily loss, drawdown, contracts, trading hours and your firm's closing time. If you hit a limit, it closes the positions and locks the account until the next session. It is the same one Leo uses and it does the same thing: there is no «solo avisar» (alert only) mode.
My journal
Your stats built from the history NinjaTrader already keeps on your PC: key figures, equity curve, calendar and trades. It is calculated on your computer and uploads nothing.
Calculator
Our funding calculator inside NinjaTrader: how often you would pass and get paid on each account with your way of trading. They are simulations, not promises.
Indicators
The catalog of our free indicators (VWAP, volume profile, cumulative delta, FVG, risk-reward and more), with their page and download without leaving the platform.
Discounts
The current prop firm codes and offers, the same ones as on our discounts page, filtered by the firms you use. The links are affiliate links.
Trading journal, from its own menu
The ETF Journal stays where it was: Control Center › New › «ETF Diario de trading». If you connect it with your code, it sends your trades to your web journal. If you don't, it sends nothing.
What you need
- Windows 10 or 11. NinjaTrader 8 has no Mac version.
- NinjaTrader 8 installed and up to date.
- Your account connected in NinjaTrader: Rithmic, Tradovate or your firm's connection.
- Internet for Discounts, Indicators, the Calculator and up-to-date rules. The Guardian, Accounts and My journal also work offline.
- For now, the Center is only in Spanish.
How to install it

- 2In NinjaTrader, open Control Center › Tools › Import › NinjaScript Add-On… and choose the zip.
- 3When the import finishes, open Control Center › New › ETF Centro de Control.
- 4Follow the three-step guide: connect your account, tell it which firm it is and protect it with the Guardian.
To try it without risk, protect the Sim101 account first, using the «Simulated Data Feed» connection.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no paid version or subscription. We earn a commission when you buy an account through our links or discount codes, and that changes neither what the Center does nor the order of the Calculator.
Can the Guardian close my positions?
Yes, that is what it is for. It only acts on the accounts you mark as protected and with the limits you save. It reacts to what happens in the account: in a very fast move, the close can land somewhat past your limit, so leave a margin from your firm's limit.
Does it work with my prop firm?
It works with any account connected to NinjaTrader 8. It comes with rule templates for the firms we compare; if yours is not there or something has changed, you can set the limits by hand.
What data does it send to your website?
Discounts, Indicators and the Calculator download data from our website. By default, the Center also sends usage data: which tools and tabs you use and which links you click. Your accounts go as a code, never by name, and we never send your email or passwords. You can turn it off in ⚙ Ajustes › General › Datos de uso.
I already use ETF Guardián or ETF Diario. Do I lose anything?
No. The Center reads the same Guardian rules file and the same Journal settings, and the Journal stays in its usual menu.
Does it work on Mac?
Not natively: NinjaTrader 8 is a Windows program. Some people run it on a Mac with a Windows virtual machine, but we have not tested it that way.
Before you use it
This is not financial advice. The Control Center is a risk management tool and does not tell you what to trade. The Calculator results are simulations. The Guardian reacts to what happens in your account and does not guarantee you will not exceed a limit. Always check the rules in your firm's dashboard: if they differ from the Center's, your firm's rules prevail. Trading futures involves the risk of losing money.
