CAP Equity Guard EA MT5

The CAP Equity Guard is an expert advisor that constantly monitors the equity of your trading account and prevents costly drawdowns. The CAP Equity Guard EA is a useful tool for money managers. When an emergency procedure takes place, you are notified by visual, email and push alerts.

The EA performs the following tasks:

  • It monitors your entire trading account.
  • Easy to use. Just drag it to a random empty chart.
  • It will work perfectly, if MetaTrader 4 restarts.
  • It can work with your existing EA.
  • Visual, mail and push alerts.
  • It can remove your external EA after target equity is hit.


How to Use

Let us give you an example of how CAP Equity Guard works.

Attach EA to any blank Chart when you don't have any existing trade. For example, your equity is 1000$ and you set EA's input 'Profit Type=In Currency' and 'Profit Value=5.0'. You start trading by manual or any other EA. When your current equity gain is 5$ (mean total equity 1005$), EA will close all trade and record new equity now 1005$. Again your equity gain 5$ from last recorded equity, EA trigger and close all trade. EA use global variable to record previous equity, so if your MT4 close or your VPS restart, EA will restore recorded equity from global variable.

Keep In Mind (TWO IMPORTANT RULES)

1. Attach EA when you have no existing orders.

2. EA work with equity gain or loss. If you deposit/withdraw money when your trade is open and Equity guard EA working, then EA will consider as equity gain/loss and trigger. Example: you set equity profit 5$ and your record equity was 1000 so EA's target equity is 1005$. Now you have five open trade and floating loss is -50$. At this time you deposit new fund 100$ and your current equity is (Previous Equity (1000)+Floating Profit/Loss (-50)+New Fund (100)=1050). In this scenario your new equity is bigger than your target equity. So EA will close all trade. But originally you have loss of 50$. To avoid this type of situation, my recommendation is don't deposit or withdraw money when you have trade. If there is no trade you can deposit or withdraw money, there is no problem. In case you need deposit or withdraw money follow below:

  1. Stop EA by input setting.
  2. Deposit/Withdraw Fund.
  3. Modify your record equity input value.
  4. Run EA by click EA status button again.
