Equity Guardian EA 4.4

Metatrader Expert Advisor (MT4/MT5)

  • Overview

    This Expert Advisor constantly monitors the equity of your trading account to prevent costly drawdowns and/or to comply with trading rules. When a certain set of rules are breached, the EA will alert, close all trades and in some cases, delete all pending orders.

    How to use it for Prop Trading Challenges

    This EA is useful for Prop Trading Firms or Traders as it encapsulates all the rules of the FTMO Challenge or the PZ Challenge. Any Prop Trading Firm can use this EA to monitor breaches of the trading rules, whereas a trader can use it to avoid breaking the rules of the firm or other fixed criteria he deems adequate. If you are a trader, make sure to enter restrictive values that stop your trading before the actual rules are broken, for instance, if the Max Daily Equity Loss possible is 2%, make sure to stop your trading when it reaches 1%.
