Aegis Risk Sentinel

Aegis Risk Sentinel is an institutional-grade, real-time equity protection and risk management utility developed natively for MetaTrader 5. Engineered for proprietary trading firm challengers, professional fund managers, and retail day traders, Aegis enforces mathematical discipline on your trading account, preventing catastrophic drawdowns, emotional revenge trading, and over-leveraged margin calls.

The utility features an ultra-responsive on-chart Head-Up Display (HUD) dashboard built with zero external dynamic link libraries (DLLs). It continuously audits account metrics in the background at sub-second intervals and provides instantaneous one-click emergency order execution controls.

Key Capabilities

1. Daily Loss Ceiling Protection Monitors floating and realized equity relative to your daily starting baseline (reset automatically at midnight broker time). If the daily drawdown reaches your configured maximum threshold (e.g., 4.0%), Aegis can automatically close all floating positions, cancel pending orders, and lock the account until the next session.

2. Daily Profit Target Lock Secures accumulated profits once your daily target is achieved. Prevents giving back earnings during late-day market churn.

3. Maximum Account Drawdown Guard Guards total account capital against critical floating drawdowns relative to balance. Essential for passing prop firm evaluations (FTMO, FundedNext, The Funded Trader) without breaching hard equity rules.

4. Margin Level Sentinel Monitors margin utilization. Emits instant audible and visual warnings if margin drops below safety buffers, with an optional safety setting to liquidate the single largest losing position to prevent terminal margin stop-outs.

5. Basket Trailing Equity Lock Dynamically trails the aggregate profit of all open positions in dollar terms, securing basket gains during volatility spikes.

6. Interactive On-Chart HUD A sleek, low-latency dark-themed dashboard displaying live balance, equity, floating profit/loss, daily profit/loss, margin level, and position lot exposure. Includes emergency buttons:

   • Panic Close All: Instantly liquidates all positions and cancels all pending orders.
   • Close In Profit: Instantly harvests all trades currently in positive territory while letting runners breathe.
   • Toggle Sentinel Lock: Manually locks or unlocks risk rules.
   • Minimize HUD: Collapses the dashboard into a compact status bar.
