Trade Command Center: Professional Risk & Trade Manager

Trade Command Center (TCC) is a professional trade management tool for MetaTrader 5. It sits on your chart and handles everything from placing orders with precise risk sizing to protecting your account with automatic stop management and prop firm safety rules.

You do not need to type in lot sizes manually. You set a risk amount or percentage, set your stop loss distance, and TCC calculates the correct lot size for you.

1. Overview

What TCC does:

• Calculates lot size automatically based on your risk
• Places market and pending orders with one click
• Lets you drag SL/TP visually on the chart before placing
• Manages open positions: break-even, trailing stop, partial close
• Protects against prop firm rule violations (max lot, daily drawdown, close time)
• Shows your trading performance stats

2. Installation

1. Copy the EA to your Experts folder in MetaTrader 5
2. Drag it onto any chart
3. Allow automated trading (click the play button in the toolbar)

10. Tips & Best Practices

General

• Always press START before trading sessions and STOP when done.
• Use the PIPS/PTS toggle to work in the unit you're most comfortable with.
• Settings are auto-saved per symbol — switching charts keeps your risk setup intact.

Risk Management

• Use Risk % mode for consistent position sizing as your balance grows.
• Set ARMOR's break-even early in your journey — it eliminates the risk of a winner turning into a loser.
• Use Multi-TP to lock in partial profits while letting the rest run.

Prop Firm Accounts

• Use GUARD to set a hard daily loss limit matching your firm's rules.
• Enable Max Lot protection to prevent accidentally exceeding size limits.
• Set Daily Close Time to match your firm's 5PM NY cutoff (TZ Offset = -5 for NY).
• Use FTMO or MFF quick presets as a starting point.
