AutoTarget Guardian

Take complete control of your trading risk without calculating pips or lot sizes ever again.

AutoTarget Guardian is an essential trade management utility for MetaTrader 5 designed for manual traders, prop firm participants, and scalpers. Instead of calculating pips, worrying about contract multipliers, or dragging lines manually on fast-moving charts, you simply enter your target Take Profit and Stop Loss in your exact account currency amount (e.g., risk $10 to make $30) or in points. The moment an order opens, the EA calculates and applies the exact price levels automatically in milliseconds.

Why You Need This Utility

• Pre-Set Risk Protection: Never forget to set your Stop Loss again. You can pre-configure your required monetary risk beforehand, and the utility instantly protects every new position the moment it opens.
• Built for Prop Firm Rules: If your prop firm or trading plan mandates a strict maximum risk per trade (e.g. max $200 loss limit), you can lock in that exact monetary cap in advance so you never accidentally breach risk rules.
• Pro Tip — Leave Room for Spread & Commissions: Always factor in market realities! If your prop firm allows a maximum loss of $200 per trade, set your Stop Loss slightly lower (e.g., $180–$185) to provide a safe buffer for broker spreads, commissions, and potential market slippage.
• Eliminate Dragging Errors: Manually dragging TP and SL lines in fast markets is slow, imprecise, and prone to costly mistakes. This utility sets mathematically exact levels automatically in milliseconds.

Key Features

• Money ($/€/£) or Points Targets: Set targets in your account base currency or configure fixed point distances.
• Universal Currency Precision: Automatically detects your deposit currency (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CAD, AUD, CHF, etc.) and uses MT5's native exchange rate engine to converge on exact cent-level precision across any instrument.
• Automatic Enforcer: If you accidentally drag or remove your Take Profit or Stop Loss line on the chart, the EA snaps it right back into place.
• Plain-English Trade Filtering: Protect your other automated bots by choosing between managing Manual Trades Only (placed by hand) or All Trades.
• Zero Server Flooding Architecture: Engineered to protect your broker connection. It pre-validates broker minimum stop levels (StopsLevel and FreezeLevel) and applies an automatic safety cooldown if an order is rejected, eliminating repetitive server requests.
• Sub-Millisecond Event Speed: Uses MT5's native  OnTradeTransaction  to catch new orders immediately upon execution, supported by a gentle 1-second fallback timer.
• Clean Floating On-Chart Display: Borderless, transparent text layout that adapts to all 4 corners of the chart without overlapping or clipping into the price scale. Full control over font size and colors.
