Drawdown Guardian Pro - Your Comprehensive Account Protector for MT5!
Protect your capital from unforeseen risks and catastrophic losses! "Drawdown Guardian Pro" is a powerful and flexible proactive risk management tool for MetaTrader 5. It continuously analyzes your account's status and automatically applies configured safety measures when critical drawdown limits, equity levels are reached, or when trading occurs outside allowed times. An indispensable assistant for controlling automated trading systems (other EAs), disciplining manual trading, and preserving your deposit in uncertain market conditions.
Why Drawdown Guardian Pro?
This Expert Advisor goes beyond simple monitoring. It offers unique capabilities for visual risk control and emergency response, providing a deep level of protection for your account.
Key Features & Settings):
-
Flexible Drawdown Monitoring:
-
Fixed Drawdown: Control daily (Daily) or overall (Overall) drawdown calculated from peak equity (From_Peak_Equity) or the start-of-day balance (From_Start_Balance). Set thresholds by percentage (Percentage), account currency (Account_Currency), or whichever comes first (Both).
-
Trailing Drawdown: Protect achieved profits by setting a drawdown limit from the highest equity peak reached since launch/reset (Enable Trailing Drawdown Monitoring).
-
-
Absolute Equity Level Control:
-
Set a Minimum Equity Level below which protection triggers, and a Maximum Equity Level for potential profit-taking or other actions.

-
Advanced Time Filter:
-
Restrict EA operation and trading to specific hours (Allowed Hours) and weekdays (Allowed Weekdays), using either server time (Server_Time) or local time (Local_Time).
-
Define the action taken outside allowed hours (Action Outside Allowed Hours): do nothing, block new trades, or close all positions.
-
-
Innovative Dynamic Risk Visualization:
-
Enable Enable Risk Visualization, and your chart transforms into a risk dashboard! The background color dynamically changes (from Normal to Warning, Critical, Extreme, Blocked), signaling proximity to limit breaches.
-
A large central text message displays the current status, drawdown level, buffer remaining to the limit, and the planned action, instantly grabbing your attention. Customize colors and percentage thresholds (Warning/Critical/Extreme Percent). Optional blinking (Enable Blinking) for critical states.
-
-
Various Response Modes (Action Mode on Limit Hit):
-
Choose exactly what the EA does when a limit is hit: Close_All (close all managed positions), Close_Lossing_Only, Close_Profitable_Only, Block_Only (don't close, just block new trades), or Notify_Only (only send alerts, requires your reaction).
-
-
Protection Against New Trades:
-
Pending Order Deletion (Delete Pending Orders on Limit Hit): Automatically delete managed pending orders when a limit is triggered to prevent new positions from opening at a risky moment.
-
Active Post-Blocking: After a limit trigger or time block, the EA will automatically close any new market trades opened with the managed Magic Number/symbol.
-
-
Emergency Safety Measures (Use with Caution!):
-
Close Other Charts (Close Other Charts on Limit Hit): In a critical situation, after forcibly closing all positions, the EA can close all other open charts, potentially stopping other EAs.
-
Close Terminal (Close Terminal on Limit Hit): As a last resort, after forcibly closing all positions, the EA can completely shut down the MetaTrader 5 terminal. Warning: This action immediately stops ALL trading and monitoring! Use only in extreme emergencies!

"Drawdown Guardian Pro" is your reliable assistant in the trading world, offering deep risk control, unique visualization, and powerful protective measures, including emergency actions. Invest in the safety of your capital today!

Drawdown Guardian Pro has been an essential tool in my trading routine. It has helped me strictly respect my daily risk limits by automatically locking the platform when thresholds are reached. This prevents impulsive trades and enforces risk management, which is crucial for achieving long-term consistency. 🔒 Key Highlights: Automatically closes all trades when the daily loss limit is hit. Disables auto-trading, blocking any further entries. Forces you to stick to your risk plan — no excuses. ✅ Suggestions for Improvement: Fix minor spelling/grammar issues in the interface and messages. Add a limit for the number of trades per day. Implement a daily profit lock ("stop gain") — e.g., lock trading after +1% profit. Provide more detailed explanations on how to set up a trailing drawdown throughout the day. Telegram notification integration for alerts on profit/loss lock. Timeout function after hitting a loss streak — to avoid revenge trading. Example setup: I risk 0.30% per trade. My daily drawdown limit is 0.70%. My daily target is 1.00%. Ideally, the system should lock when +1% is hit or after two consecutive losses to avoid going below the -0.70% limit. 🧠 Summary: Drawdown Guardian Pro is highly effective and a must-have for serious traders. With a few extra features, it could be even better. I strongly recommend it — especially for those who need help sticking to strict risk and emotional control.
