Trade & Risk Manager is a trading utility panel for MetaTrader 4 designed for manual trading and risk control. The program does not include a trading strategy and does not open trades automatically — all trading actions are performed only by pressing buttons on the panel.
The utility helps you to:
-
quickly open/close positions;
-
calculate position size (lot) based on a predefined risk;
-
enforce trading plan limits: daily loss, maximum drawdown, trade limit, profit target;
-
manage positions: breakeven, partial close, reverse, trailing stop;
-
use a grid of pending STOP orders (Grid) and delete pending orders.

Important Notes
-
All SL/TP/ST/LVL/STP values are in points (not pips).
-
Broker restrictions apply (e.g., Stops Level). If SL/TP/pending price is too close to the market, the action will be rejected.
-
To use the buttons, enable Algo Trading and allow trading in the EA settings.
-
It is recommended to test on a demo account before using on a live account.
FAQ
1) Why does BUY/SELL not open a trade?
Check:
-
Algo Trading is enabled in the terminal;
-
trading is allowed in the EA settings;
-
there is a server connection (Terminal connected);
-
the Pause button is not enabled;
-
rule limits were not triggered (Trades/day, Daily Loss, Max DD, Profit Target) — the status line will show the reason.
2) Why can’t SL/TP be set or why does it say “SL/TP too close”?
Your broker may require a minimum distance (Stops Level) from the current price.
-
Increase SL pts / TP pts.
-
Remember values are in points (not pips).
-
Some symbols may have additional constraints (spread, freeze level).
3) Why doesn’t Breakeven work?
Breakeven is applied only if:
-
the position is in profit;
-
the new SL does not violate Stops Level (too close → rejected);
-
SL is not already “better” (e.g., for BUY, SL already at/above BE).
4) Why doesn’t Partial 50% work?
Partial close is possible only if:
-
50% of the volume, after normalization to the volume step (SYMBOL_VOLUME_STEP), is not less than the minimum lot (SYMBOL_VOLUME_MIN);
-
the calculated close volume is less than the current position volume.
For very small positions (e.g., 0.01), “half” may be impossible.
5) Why doesn’t Reverse open the opposite trade?
Reverse does:
-
close the last position;
-
attempt to open the opposite direction.
If rules/limits are triggered or trading is unavailable (no quotes, market closed, restrictions, insufficient margin), the new order may fail.
6) How is “Daily Loss” calculated?
Equity-based logic:
-
equity is fixed at day start (server midnight);
-
the minimum equity during the day is tracked;
-
Daily Loss % = (EquityStart − EquityLow) / EquityStart × 100%.
This includes floating drawdown on open positions.
7) How is “Total Drawdown” calculated?
Depends on the mode:
-
From Initial: base = initial equity/balance saved at first run.
-
Trailing Equity: base = maximum equity reached after start (high-water mark).
DD% = (Base − CurrentEquity) / Base × 100%.
8) Why is Grid not placed?
Common reasons:
-
no last position on the symbol (Grid uses the last position direction);
-
InpGridOrdersCount <= 0 or STP pts <= 0 or MLT <= 0 ;
-
STOP price is too close to the market (Stops Level restriction);
-
calculated lot is 0 or below minimum (SYMBOL_VOLUME_MIN);
-
“Manage only this EA” is enabled and the last position does not match Magic.
9) Why doesn’t Del delete pending orders?
Only pending orders on the current symbol are deleted.
If InpManageOnlyThisEA=true , only orders with your InpMagic are deleted.
