Hello!
My name is Sergey, I have been trading in financial markets since 2014. Since 2018, I have been developing applications and utilities that I myself use in my trading.

Risk Controller Expert Advisor, a program that allows you to control the total risk of your trading advisors on your account.
With this program, you can control the maximum risk that will be allowed on the account for all advisors.
For example, you set the risk of 30% of the maximum drawdown, which means that if your equity trading robots exceed the risk of 30%, the Risk Controller will close all positions of advisers, and can also close all open charts, thereby preventing advisers from working further.
The Expert Advisor will be necessary for “restful sleep” when you trade averaging robots with martingale and want to limit the maximum losses from robots in case of force majeure or other unforeseen situations, because it is better to take a loss than to hope for a market reversal.
The Risk Controller Expert Advisor is a very important and, in my opinion, necessary program for every trader who trades robots.
Control can be carried out both in the limiting monetary $ equivalent of the maximum losses on the account, and in % percentage.
For the adviser to work, simply attach it to the chart of a currency pair and set the maximum allowable risk in the deposit currency or in % of the current balance.

It's a great tool for managing other EAs that operate on the same account. I identified some opportunities for improvement, considering the resources I need to use: [1] Regarding the "Loss limit in $" and "Profit limit in $" parameters, if a zero value is entered in one of these parameters, the EA could disregard the limitation by this parameter in which a zero value was inserted; [2] Regarding the limitation by financial value ($), related to "Loss limit in $" and "Profit limit in $", there could be another parameter to establish whether the limitation will be on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Specifically in my case, I would like to close trades if a daily profit or loss value is reached; [3] The option to "close all charts" is interesting, but it would be better if there was the possibility of just disabling automated trading (general of MT4) for all EAs instead of closing the charts. Many thanks to the developer for making this product available.
