Drawdown monitor constantly monitors your account, preventing you from blowing your account and losing more money than you expected!
This licensed version of Drawdown monitor EA can be used both on demo and live accounts without any limitation.
Before using Drawdown monitor EA on a live account, I advise you to configure and test all parameters and verify that its operation meets your needs.
For a complete description of all functions and settings, please refer to the user manual:
For any doubts, questions, or suggestions, do not hesitate to contact me
Drawdown monitor EA will constantly monitor every single open position and close it if the set safety limit is exceeded.
It is essential for all traders who use 'risky' EAs that may not have been thoroughly tested or which use dangerous martingale or grid strategies that could suddenly increase your drawdown, resulting in your account being blown out if you are not constantly present.
Or more simply, if you want an additional security when the risky EA is trading with real money and you are not sure that it uses truly reliable capital protection strategies.
The price of this Drawdown monitor EA is negligible compared to the loss you would suffer if your account were blown out.
Technical Description of Drawdown monitor EA
New powerful and useful monitoring functions have been added to this version of Drawdown monitor EA.
Above all, monitoring can be carried out for individual positions, which are closed individually when the set values are reached.
In addition, a total drawdown can be set which, if exceeded, closes all open positions.
An important option allows positions with a specific magic number to be excluded from the max. drawdown calculation. This allows general positions to be differentiated from those of a specific EA.
Drawdown monitoring is fast even if tick refreshing is slow, e.g., at certain times of the day or in situations of low market activity.
Drawdown monitor EA can be dragged either onto the chart you use for manual trading or onto a separate chart if another EA is already present (see screenshots).
The currency pair and chart timeframe are both irrelevant.
Using Drawdown monitor EA on Strategy Tester does not make sense.
