I highly recommend using BOTH in combination. Scalper Pro Prop is specifically designed to layer these two risk management concepts to create a "bulletproof" safety net, especially for prop firm challenges.

Here is exactly how you should structure them and why:

1. The Frontline Defense: Equity Stops (Risk Per Trade %)
   You should always use the Use Risk Per Trade % feature (e.g., setting it to 0.25% or 0.5%).

Why: This acts as your per-trade equity stop. The bot will dynamically calculate your lot size based on your Stop Loss distance (whether you use Fixed Pips or ATR). This ensures that no matter how volatile the market is, a single losing trade will never cost you more than that exact percentage of your account.

1. The Ultimate Circuit Breaker: Global Risk Limits
   While the per-trade risk manages individual setups, you absolutely must enable Use Drawdown Protection and set your Global Risk Limits (Daily Max Loss %, Total Max Loss %, and Max Equity DD %).

Why: Scalping breakouts during volatile sessions (like the London-NY overlap) can sometimes lead to a string of consecutive losses if the market suddenly becomes choppy. Global limits act as a hard "circuit breaker." If you hit a bad streak, the bot will completely lock down trading for the day, protecting your account from emotional revenge trading or a toxic market regime.

The "Prop Firm" Secret Setting
If you are trading a prop firm account, never set the bot's Global Risk Limits to the exact limit of the prop firm. If your prop firm allows a 4% maximum daily loss, set the cBot's Daily Max Loss % to 2.5% or 3%.

The Reason: During high-impact news or extreme volatility spikes, slippage can occur. By setting your bot's global limit slightly lower than the prop firm's hard rule, you create a "safety buffer" that guarantees you will survive the day even if a trade experiences negative slippage upon exiting.
