Search “prop firm API” and you’ll find dozens of posts that quietly conflate three different things. A firm’s own API, the broker platform it happens to license, and a third-party bridge that connects the two get treated as one and the same. That confusion costs traders real time when they’re trying to automate a funded
Here’s the trap nobody warns you about: you can be green on the day and still lose room on your account. That’s trailing drawdown.

Pine Script is small, but its rules are unusually strict — repainting, request.security lag, and per-bar execution order trip up even experienced traders.
