AP Trade Manager

AP Trade Manager (MT5)

Overview
Utility panel for manual trade execution and simple trade management. Provides Buy, Sell, Half Close, and Close All buttons, with an optional auto-breakeven after a user-defined distance. No DLLs or external resources.

How it works

• Opens or closes positions for the current symbol using fixed lots.

• Half Close reduces position size by approximately 50% (uses partial close where supported; otherwise applies a netting-safe reduction).

• Close All exits all positions on the current symbol (filtered by Magic if set).

• Auto-Breakeven (optional): when unrealized profit reaches a set distance in points, the stop-loss is moved to the entry price (or entry ± buffer).

Buttons

• Buy — open a long position with the specified lot size.

• Sell — open a short position with the specified lot size.

• Half Close — reduce the current symbol’s position volume by ~50%.

• Close All — close all positions on the current symbol (matching Magic if set).

Inputs

• Lots — fixed lot size for new orders.

• UseBreakeven — enable/disable auto-breakeven.

• BE_TriggerPoints — profit (points) to arm breakeven.

• BE_BufferPoints — extra points beyond entry (0 = exactly at entry).

• Magic — tag/filter positions (0 = manage any).

• Panel layout — corner, offsets, and size.

How to use

1. Attach the utility to a chart.

2. Set Lots and, if needed, enable UseBreakeven with trigger/buffer values.

3. Use the buttons to open or manage trades on the current symbol.

4. For multi-symbol management, run one instance per symbol.

Notes

• No automatic strategy logic; this is a manual-execution tool.

• Half Close behavior depends on account mode and broker settings.

• Works on netting and hedging accounts.

• No DLLs, no external links.
