EA Pause Manager — Your Smart Risk Guard & Scheduler (MT5)
What It Does
- Stops conflicting trades before they happen (based on active market positions).
- Pauses or resumes your EAs automatically based on:
- A simple “leader” rule: the first EA to trade becomes the leader and blocks the rest.
- A time schedule you set (e.g. no trading in Asian session).
- Note: Interlock logic is triggered by executed market orders, not by pending orders (Buy Stop / Sell Stop).
Why It Matters
- Protects your capital: no more accidental extra orders.
- Reduces drawdowns: EAs don’t fight each other.
- Zero manual work: everything runs solo once you set it up.
Important
- EA Pause Manager detects and reacts to active market positions (executed trades).
- It does NOT detect or manage pending orders (Buy Stop / Sell Stop, etc.).
- If your strategy relies heavily on pending orders, those orders may be triggered later without interlock control.
- For best performance, use EA Pause Manager with EAs that open direct market orders.
