UNPM is an MT5 news-protection and trade-management EA designed especially for traders who need to respect prop-firm restricted news trading windows.
Its main purpose is simple:
Protect open trades from being accidentally closed by TP or SL during a restricted high-impact news window.
This is particularly useful with prop firms that allow positions to remain open during major news, but do not allow trades to be opened or closed within a set number of minutes before and after high-impact economic events.
Built for Prop-Firm “No News Trading Window” Rules
Many prop firms use rules such as:
-
No opening trades shortly before high-impact news
-
No closing trades shortly before high-impact news
-
No TP being hit during the restricted window
-
No SL being hit during the restricted window
-
Restrictions for a number of minutes before and after the event
UNPM is designed to help protect existing positions during these periods.
For example, if your prop firm uses a:
6 minutes before / 6 minutes after
restricted news window, UNPM can automatically begin protection 6 minutes before the event and keep the position protected until 6 minutes after.
The timings are fully configurable.
How UNPM WorksBefore a relevant high-impact news event, UNPM detects the upcoming protected window.
It can then temporarily remove the selected protective levels from managed positions.
Depending on the selected mode, this can include:
-
Remove TP only and keep SL
-
Remove the selected SL/TP levels
-
Protect positions according to your chosen configuration
This prevents the broker from automatically closing the position at one of those removed levels during the restricted news window.
Once the protected period has finished, UNPM automatically restores the saved levels.
Example
Imagine you have an open XAUUSD trade.
Entry: 4500 SL: 4480 TP: 4540
A major USD news event is scheduled for:
13:30
Your prop-firm restricted window is:
6 minutes before 6 minutes after
UNPM protection begins at:
13:24
If configured for TP Removal Only, UNPM temporarily removes the TP while keeping the SL active.
The protected window continues through the news event.
At:
13:36
UNPM restores the original TP if it is still valid.
The trader does not need to manually remove and replace the level.
Why This Matters for Prop-Firm TradersA common problem with prop-firm accounts is that a trader may have entered a perfectly valid trade hours before major news.
Price then moves strongly during the announcement and hits the trader's TP.
Even though the trade was opened long before the event, some prop firms may classify the TP execution as a prohibited news-window close.
UNPM is designed specifically to reduce this risk.
Instead of relying on the trader to remember every upcoming event and manually modify every position, UNPM continuously monitors the news calendar and protects qualifying trades automatically.
Automatic Protection Before NewsThe trader chooses how many minutes before a high-impact event protection should begin.
Example:
Minutes Before News = 6
UNPM automatically detects when the protected window starts and applies the configured protection.
There is no need to manually monitor the clock for every economic event.
Automatic Restoration After NewsThe trader also chooses how long protection should remain active after the announcement.
Example:
Minutes After News = 6
After the post-news restriction period has finished, UNPM attempts to restore the original levels automatically.
This creates a complete protection cycle:
NORMAL TRADING
↓
High-impact news approaching
↓
PROTECTION STARTS
↓
Selected TP / SL levels removed
↓
NEWS EVENT
↓
Post-news restriction period
↓
Original levels restored
↓
NORMAL MANAGEMENT RESUMES
Important Level-Breach Protection UNPM does more than simply remove and replace levels.
It also remembers the original SL and TP while protection is active.
If price moves through one of those original levels while it is removed, UNPM can handle the situation according to its recovery logic.
This is important because blindly restoring an old TP or SL after price has already passed through it could create incorrect trade-management behaviour.
UNPM therefore keeps a persistent record of protected positions and their original levels.
Persistent Recovery SystemThe EA saves recovery information so protection is not dependent only on temporary RAM.
This helps protect against situations such as:
-
MT5 restart
-
VPS restart
-
chart reload
-
EA reload
-
timeframe change
-
terminal interruption
If UNPM restarts while a position is still in a protected or recovery state, it can recover the saved information and continue resolving the position.
Multiple News SourcesNews protection is too important to depend blindly on a single source.
UNPM supports multiple calendar/news sources and cross-checking.
Its system can use sources such as:
-
MetaTrader 5 Economic Calendar
-
Forex Factory feed
-
Myfxbook calendar cross-checking
The EA can use primary and backup sources to improve reliability.
High-Impact News FocusUNPM is designed primarily around high-impact / major economic events.
Examples can include:
-
CPI
-
NFP
-
FOMC
-
Interest-rate decisions
-
Retail Sales
-
GDP
-
Employment data
-
Central-bank related releases
-
Other major economic announcements
The exact events protected depend on the configured news filters and currencies.
Global Major News ProtectionUNPM can be configured so that major news affecting one of the selected major currencies protects relevant managed positions.
For example:
USD EUR GBP JPY CHF CAD AUD NZD
This is especially useful for traders who want a broad safety system across a prop-firm account rather than manually configuring every individual event.
Multi-Symbol ProtectionUNPM can manage positions across multiple symbols from one EA instance, depending on the selected settings.
This can include instruments such as:
-
XAUUSD
-
EURUSD
-
GBPUSD
-
USDJPY
-
BTCUSD
-
ETHUSD
-
US30
-
and other supported broker symbols
Custom symbol-to-currency mappings can also be used.
This is useful when a trader has several positions open at the same time.
Magic Number SupportUNPM can manage positions according to magic number.
It can be configured for:
-
Manual trades
-
A specific EA magic number
-
Multiple EAs
-
All magic numbers
This allows UNPM to work as an account-wide protection layer for trades coming from different strategies.
Protection Re-EnforcementDuring the protected news window, another EA or the trader could accidentally re-add a level that UNPM intentionally removed.
UNPM can monitor for this and re-remove the protected level while the news window remains active.
This helps stop another trade-management EA from unintentionally defeating the news protection.
Linked Breakeven Manager SupportUNPM can communicate directly with the GRInvest Breakeven Manager using a shared MT5 protection handshake.
When UNPM enters a protected news window, the Breakeven Manager can automatically pause:
-
Automatic PC1
-
Automatic PC2
-
Automatic breakeven
-
Trailing-stop changes
-
Manual PC CLOSE
-
Manual SET ALL BE
This prevents the Breakeven Manager from re-adding or changing an SL while UNPM is intentionally protecting the position.
When news protection and recovery have finished, normal management automatically resumes.
On-Chart DashboardUNPM includes an information dashboard showing important protection information such as:
-
EA status
-
Current protection mode
-
News source status
-
Calendar status
-
Upcoming high-impact events
-
Protection countdown
-
Restore countdown
-
Active protection records
-
Source health
-
UTC / server-time information
-
News currencies
-
Protection state
The aim is to make it clear why the EA is protecting a position and when normal trading will resume.
Manual ControlsThe dashboard also provides manual controls for situations where the trader wants direct intervention.
These include functions such as:
PAUSE NEW PROTECTION
Stops new positions from entering protection while allowing existing recovery records to continue being safely handled.
RESTORE / RESOLVE ALL NOW
Allows the trader to request immediate recovery handling for currently protected positions.
REFRESH NEWS NOW
Requests an immediate news/calendar refresh.
Prop-Firm Use CaseUNPM is particularly suited to a trader who:
-
Opens trades normally during permitted trading periods.
-
Leaves positions running for several hours.
-
Has a major economic announcement approaching.
-
Is trading with a prop firm that restricts trade executions around high-impact news.
-
Wants to avoid an existing TP or selected protective level accidentally closing the position inside that restricted window.
Instead of manually checking every calendar event and editing every open trade, UNPM handles the protection process automatically.
Important Prop-Firm NoticeUNPM is a protection and trade-management tool — it does not guarantee compliance with every prop firm's rules.
Prop firms use different news policies.
Some firms:
-
allow positions to remain open but prohibit opening/closing during the news window;
-
allow holding but restrict profits from trades closed around news;
-
use different before/after time limits;
-
restrict only certain high-impact events;
-
prohibit holding positions through news completely.
UNPM is particularly designed for rules where holding an existing position is allowed but execution during the restricted news window must be avoided.
If a prop firm completely prohibits holding a position through the announcement, simply removing a TP or SL would not make that position compliant.
Always configure UNPM according to the exact rules of the prop firm and account being traded.

The Main Purpose
UNPM was built to solve one specific problem:
You already have a good trade open, major news is approaching, and you do not want an SL or TP execution during your prop firm's prohibited news-trading window.
UNPM watches the calendar, protects the position before the restricted period begins, maintains that protection through the event, restores the position afterwards, and keeps recovery information if anything interrupts the process.
For prop-firm traders running positions across multiple symbols or strategies, it provides an automated news-window protection layer between the trading strategy and MT5 execution.
