OvertradeShield – Utility EA to Prevent Overtrading in Discretionary Trading
Have you ever regretted making “just one more” trade in discretionary trading? OvertradeShield is a utility-type EA that automatically limits and alerts entries based on realized profit and loss, supporting your trading rules and mental discipline.
It is ideal for traders who want to keep daily profits and losses in mind, prevent overtrading, and enforce profit and loss rules systematically. Since entries are discretionary, you can introduce it without changing your existing trading style.
Key Features
- Real-time monitoring of realized profit and loss: cumulative profit and loss from closed positions is continuously displayed on the chart
- Customizable profit and loss thresholds: freely set upper profit limits and lower loss limits; supports managing both positive and negative values
- Period selection feature: choose aggregation period from daily, weekly, or monthly to suit your trading style
- Powerful alerts: when profit or loss reaches the set threshold, a large magenta rectangle with the word “STOP” is displayed at the center of the chart
- Audio alerts and log notifications are also used to ensure visibility and audibility
- Simple and lightweight design: a utility-type EA that can be used alongside discretionary panel EAs or other EAs without interference

- Easy to set up and deploy immediately; suitable for both beginners and advanced users
