Take a Break is a comprehensive account protection and risk management tool for MetaTrader. It acts as a kill switch that automatically pauses your EAs when drawdown limits are hit, keeping your account safe during high volatility and news events.
v26 (August 2026): the EA now protects your entire account — every chart, no helper needed — and the free Take a Break Indicator gives any chart its own protection rules (news, loss limits, trading times and more). Full story: Take a Break v26 — every chart gets its own rules
Key features:
- Equity protection and balance protection with customizable thresholds
- Daily loss limit and daily profit target to stay within your risk rules
- Daily high watermark — locks in your highest equity/balance each day and enforces maximum drawdown from that level
- News filter — pause trading before and after scheduled releases
- News alerts — get notified via alert, push, or email when pause windows start, with grouped events, configurable quiet hours, and automatic time conversion
- Full bot control and trade management — one EA to manage and protect all your other EAs
Professional account protection for any MetaTrader account running multiple EAs — and the perfect companion for prop firm and funding challenge traders on FTMO, The5ers, FundedNext and similar.
AI Trade Assessment: every new trade entry on your chart is evaluated in real time — your second pair of eyes, with optional auto-close on poor entries. Assess buttons on the chart deliver a verdict before you enter.
This is the free demo of Take a Break — and it protects out of the box: a fixed -5% daily loss brake is always active (reset at 00:00 server time) and pauses one chart when it triggers. The demo covers one instrument, one multi-symbol alert per day and 5 free AI assessments. Your own limit values, profit targets, equity thresholds — and pausing your entire account — are full-version features.

Absolute Game Changer – A Must-Have for Every EA User! Before I found Take a Break MT5 EA, I was constantly losing money during news events. Like many traders with a full-time job, it was nearly impossible for me to manually stop all my EAs before high-impact news or to be at the screen to catch the news right as it dropped. This meant I was always at the mercy of volatility, and it was hurting my bottom line. Then I discovered Take a Break, and everything changed. This EA is an absolute hidden gem. It lets me pause trading across all my expert advisors automatically during news events, without having to babysit my terminal or rush to manage things manually. The peace of mind it provides is invaluable, and my account performance has improved dramatically since I started using it. What’s even better is that it works seamlessly with any EA that doesn’t have a built-in news filter — and let’s be honest, most don’t. Just plug it in, set your preferred time filters or news filters, and you’re protected. Simple as that. Massive respect and appreciation to the developer. It’s clear a lot of thought and hard work went into building something that solves a real problem for traders. I strongly urge anyone running automated strategies to support this project and integrate Take a Break into their setup. Your account will thank you.
