# MiniBull Guard&Journal
**Automatic ATR stop loss, live risk and margin panel, and a trade journal that grades your discipline from A to F.**
Most accounts are not lost because of bad setups. They are lost because of size, missing stops, revenge trades and holding losers too long. MiniBull Guard&Journal watches all of that for you, live, and then shows you the truth in a report card.
It never opens a trade. It never closes a trade. It does not use WebRequest or any internet access. Everything runs inside MetaTrader 5.

## Two tools in one
### 1. Guard: protection while you trade
- **Automatic stop loss.** A new position without a stop gets an ATR-based stop (ATR period, timeframe and multiplier are yours to set). Or choose a fixed distance per symbol.
- **Smart placement.** Optional spread buffer and optional avoidance of round price levels, where stops tend to get hunted.
- **Scope control.** Work on every symbol of the account or only the chart symbol. Positions that were open before the EA started are never touched.
- **Risk panel.** Equity, open profit, margin used, margin level, margin call / stop out levels, total open risk in money and percent, swap.
- **Daily limit (warning only).** Max stop losses per day and max daily loss as a percent of start-of-day equity.
- **Behaviour checks.** Warns about a new trade soon after a stop (revenge), too many trades in a short time, and a single trade that risks more than your limit.
- **News warnings.** High-impact events from the built-in MT5 economic calendar, before and after the release.
- **A panel that talks.** Short, calm messages when all is well, stern ones when you are in danger. Tone can be set to always calm or always stern.
- **Alerts.** Sound and push notification on danger.
### 2. Journal: the honest report card
The Journal reads your full account history and gives you a grade from **A to F** (0 to 100 points) across six areas:
| Area | What it checks |
|---|---|
| Risk | Stop loss on every trade, risk of 2% or less |
| Revenge trades | Size-ups and fast re-entries right after a loss |
| Daily limit | Days you kept trading after hitting your loss limit |
| Holding losers | How much longer you hold losers than winners |
| Drawdown | Distance from your equity peak and time spent there |
| Edge | Does the net result in money confirm your results per trade |
Click the journal line on the panel to open the wide view:
- Report card with a score per area
- Equity curve
- Finding cards in plain language, red for serious, amber for watch, green for good habits
- A size-versus-result check: it tells you when you win small and lose big, even if your win rate looks fine
Findings read like a coach: honest about mistakes, kind in tone, with one clear thing to do next. The grade thresholds are fixed. They cannot be tuned to make the grade look better.

## Journal files (CSV, read only)
Everything is also saved as dated CSV files in `Common\Files\TradeJournal\<account login>\`, so you can open them in Excel or keep your own archive:
`trades`, `breakdown`, `stats`, `karne` (report card), `findings`, `stopouts`, `meta`, plus a daily live margin log (`YYYY-MM-DD_margin_live.csv`).
The Journal only reads. It never changes your history.

## Languages
Panel messages: English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Español, فارسی, العربية, 日本語, 简体中文 (or Auto from the terminal language).
Journal wide view: English and Türkçe in this version.

## Quick start

2. Leave the defaults: ATR stop (D1, period 14, x2.0), daily limit 2 stops / 4%, risk warning at 3%.
3. Wait a moment while the Journal reads your history, then click the journal line on the panel.

## Good to know
- Works with any broker and any symbol: forex, indices, metals, energies, crypto.
- Needs trade history on the account to build the report card. A new account with no deals shows an empty journal.
- Warnings are warnings. The daily limit does not block you; it tells you, clearly.
- The EA places stop losses on new positions only. If you set your own stop, it respects it.
- This tool is a discipline aid, not financial advice. Trading carries risk.
