News filter, equity guard & session control for all your EAs — one tool, full protection — Free Demo | Latest Updates
Take a Break has evolved from a basic news filter into a comprehensive account protection solution. It pauses your other Expert Advisors during news events or based on custom filters. When trading resumes, it automatically restores your entire chart setup, including all EA settings.
New in v10: an integrated AI Trade Assessment evaluates each new trade entry directly on your chart — a second pair of eyes that delivers an honest verdict with reasoning, plus an optional auto-close on poor entries.
Why traders choose Take a Break
- AI Trade Assessment (new!) — every new trade entry is evaluated by an AI that sees your full chart and trading context, with honest verdict and optional auto-close on poor entries.
- One news filter for all your EAs — no more relying on individual built-in filters that may or may not work.
- Prop firm ready — stop trading when daily profit/loss limits are reached (FTMO and others).
- Equity & drawdown protection — automatically pause trading when Equity, Balance or Margin drops below your threshold. Set per-trade SL/TP thresholds and pause EAs after losses.
- Volatility filters — pause trading when daily price change or candle volatility exceeds your limits.
- Session & time control — restrict trading to specific days, hours, months or sessions (e.g. US session only).
- Pre-news trade management — close all trades or only specific ones (by Magic Number or comment) before high-impact news hits. Optionally wait for a minimum profit before closing.
- News alerts — push notifications, email alerts and on-screen popups before upcoming news events.
What sets Take a Break apart
- Works with any EA — no source code access needed. If it runs on a chart, Take a Break can protect it.
- The only news filter with a built-in AI second opinion — TaB does not just react to news events, it also evaluates your entries in real time.
- All-in-one — news filter, drawdown control, equity protection, spread filter, lot limiter and time filter in a single tool.
- Set and forget — configure once, and Take a Break handles the rest. Your EA settings are saved and restored automatically.
- Actively developed since 2018 — continuously improved based on user feedback and feature requests.
- Personal support — direct contact with me, the developer. Feature requests welcome!
Take a Break cannot run in the Strategy Tester. To evaluate it before purchasing, download the free demo version (limited to 1 chart symbol).
Quick Setup (3 steps)
- Allow WebRequests: Press CTRL+O, open the tab Expert Advisors and add this URL to the allowed list: https://trading.custom-solutions.it
- Download the Take a Break Indicator and add it to every chart you want protected. No indicator = chart is ignored.

How it works
Take a Break uses two components: an EA and an Indicator.
- The Indicator marks which charts should be protected — add it to each chart you want covered.
- The EA runs on a single M1 chart and protects all marked charts from there.
- No indicator on a chart = the EA skips it completely.
