EA for account Protection

Project Overview

I am looking for an experienced MT5 (MQL5) developer to modify an existing Account Protection EA and, if required, extend it with custom logic.

This is NOT a strategy or trading EA.
The EA is purely for risk management, drawdown protection, alerts, and trading lock, suitable for prop-firm and managed accounts.

Core Requirements

1. Alerts & Monitoring

• Alert on trade entry and trade exit

• Alert when floating (unrealized) drawdown reaches configurable levels
  (example: 1% and 1.85%)

• Alert when overall realized drawdown reaches a defined level
  (example: 6.2%)

• Alerts via:

  • MT5 popup

  • Push notification (mobile)

  • Sound (optional)

All percentages must be fully editable via EA inputs.

2. Drawdown Protection Logic

• Automatically close all open trades when floating DD reaches a set %
  (example: 2.6%)

• Automatically disable trading for the rest of the trading day when
  daily DD (floating + realized) reaches a defined % (example: 3.7%)

• Trading lock must:

  • Apply to manual + EA trades

  • NOT be unlockable by the trader

  • Reset automatically on the next broker trading day

3. Trading Lock & Security

• Ability to block new trades completely

• Optional PIN / password protection for enabling or disabling trading

• Trader using the account must not be able to bypass rules

• Must work reliably on VPS

4. Flexibility & Controls

• Enable / disable individual rules

• Editable percentage values at any time

• Option to include / exclude:

  • Swaps

  • Commissions

• Server time vs local time handling

• Clean and simple EA panel (GUI)

Technical Requirements

• MT5 (MQL5) only

• Clean, well-commented source code

• No repainting, no strategy logic

• Must support multiple symbols

• Stable under frequent trading activity

• Proper error handling and logs

Deliverables

• Compiled EA + source code (.mq5)

• Installation and usage instructions

• Demo testing support

• Willingness to make small refinements after testing

To Apply (IMPORTANT)

Please include:

1. Examples of similar risk-management or account-protection EAs

2. Confirmation you can modify existing EA code

3. Estimated delivery time

4. Fixed price or milestone suggestion
