DD Guard Panel is a risk management utility
- Utilitaires
- Version: 1.0
- Activations: 5
Trade Panel With Drawdown Monitor and Protector is a risk-management utility that watches your account drawdown in real time and closes all trades automatically when a limit you choose is reached. It also gives you a clean on-chart trading panel.
This is a protection tool, not a signal robot. It does not decide when to enter the market. It protects the account, whether you trade manually, with Expert Advisors, or both.
WHAT YOU SEE ON THE CHART
- Daily Drawdown: current % and the maximum % reached today
- Maximum Equity Drawdown: drop in % from your highest equity
- Maximum Balance Drawdown: drop in % from your highest balance
- Balance, equity, number of open positions and floating profit/loss
- Colour warning: green = safe, orange = approaching the limit, red = limit reached
- Status line: ACTIVE or LOCKED, with the reason
AUTOMATIC PROTECTION - ALL SETTINGS IN PERCENT
- Set a separate limit (%) for Daily DD, Max Equity DD and Max Balance DD
- Switch each rule ON or OFF independently
- If ANY ONE enabled rule is hit, the utility closes ALL open trades
- Works on manual trades and trades opened by any Expert Advisor, on any symbol and any magic number
- Pending orders can be deleted at the same time
- Limits can be typed straight into the panel while it is running
AFTER A LIMIT IS HIT
- The panel is locked: new trades from the panel are blocked
- Optional: any new trade opened while locked is closed immediately
- Daily limit lock ends automatically on the next trading day
- Equity / Balance limit lock stays until you press RESET PEAKS / UNLOCK
- Optional: close all other charts to remove other Expert Advisors from the account
- Alert and push notification when the limit is triggered
ON-CHART TRADE PANEL
- BUY and SELL buttons with a lot-size input field
- CLOSE ALL button
- CLOSE BUYS button (closes all buy positions)
- CLOSE SELLS button (closes all sell positions)
- Lot size is automatically adjusted to the symbol's minimum, maximum and step
HOW THE DRAWDOWNS ARE CALCULATED
- Daily DD = (start-of-day reference - current equity) / start-of-day reference x 100.
The reference can be start-of-day Balance or start-of-day Equity (input setting). The day follows server time.
- Max Equity DD = (highest equity - current equity) / highest equity x 100
- Max Balance DD = (highest balance - current balance) / highest balance x 100
- Peaks and maximum values are saved and survive terminal restarts.
- Peaks do not adjust for deposits or withdrawals. Press RESET PEAKS after a deposit or withdrawal.

HOW TO USE
1. Attach the utility to ONE chart (any symbol and timeframe).
2. Enable Algo Trading in the terminal toolbar.
3. Set your limits in % in the inputs or directly in the panel.
4. Leave the chart open. The utility monitors the whole account, not only the chart symbol.
IMPORTANT NOTES
- The terminal and the chart with the utility must stay running. A VPS is recommended.
- Algo Trading must be enabled for the utility to close trades.
- Closing is done at market price. In fast markets or during gaps, slippage can make the final drawdown larger than the limit you set.
- The utility cannot guarantee that a loss will not exceed a set level.
- The Balance DD rule reacts only after trades are closed, so it reacts later than the Equity DD rule.
- Test on a demo account first to see how it behaves with your broker.
RISK WARNING
Trading leveraged products involves a high level of risk and you can lose more than your deposit. This utility is a risk-management aid and does not remove market risk. It makes no promise of profit.
