Topstep Compliance: Daily Price Change % Alert (NQ / ES / YM)
Script Purpose
This script helps funded traders (especially those using Topstep or similar programs) monitor the real-time percentage change of major equity index futures: Nasdaq (NQ), S&P 500 (ES), and Dow Jones (YM).
⚠️ Why it matters
Topstep prohibits trading within 2% of the daily price limits set by the CME. If a trader holds a position too close to those limits, they risk account disqualification.
📊 How it works
• Detects the instrument: NQ1!, ES1!, YM1!, or M2025 contracts
• Calculates the real-time % change from today’s market open
• Simulates daily CME price limits (+7% / -7%)
• Highlights when price enters the last 2% of the limit range (prohibited zone)
• Displays a clean, floating panel with the current % change and a warning if necessary
• Sends a visual and optional audio alert when in the prohibited zone
🧠 What makes this script unique?
This tool is **not for technical analysis**. It focuses exclusively on **funding program compliance** and **account protection**, which is not covered by other public scripts. It’s lightweight, intuitive, and designed for traders who manage risk like professionals.
✅ Open-source and ready for review.
✅ CHART SETUP FOR PUBLICATION
✔️ Use a clean chart
✔️ Only apply this script
✔️ Make sure the panel is visible (top-right or top-center recommended)
❌ No extra indicators or drawings
✔️ Use NQM2025, ESM2025 or YMM2025 on a volatile day (to show -1% to -3% range)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Add the script to your chart.
2. Use it with NQ1!, ES1!, or YM1! (or M2025 contracts).
3. The panel will show today’s price change %.
4. If the market is within the last 2% of the CME price limit, a warning will appear.
5. Use this to avoid violating Topstep’s trading rules during volatile days.
