VTB High Watermark Drawdown Lock MT5

Advanced Equity Protection & Drawdown Management System

VTB High Watermark Drawdown Lock is a professional risk management Expert Advisor designed to protect trading accounts, funded accounts, and proprietary trading challenges from excessive drawdown.

Unlike traditional drawdown protection systems that calculate risk from the initial account balance, this EA uses a dynamic High Watermark (HWM) model that continuously protects both your original capital and your accumulated profits.

Key Features

✅ High Watermark Drawdown Protection

• Tracks the highest achieved account value (High Watermark).

• Drawdown is calculated from the highest recorded account level.

• Protects both initial capital and generated profits.

• Ideal for funded accounts and professional traders.

✅ Automatic High Watermark Updates

Whenever all positions are closed and the account reaches a new profit peak, the High Watermark is automatically updated to the new higher level.

This allows the EA to continuously lock in profits while maintaining strict risk control.

✅ Automatic Trading Lock

When the configured drawdown limit is reached, the EA can automatically:

• Block new trades

• Protect account equity

• Prevent further losses

• Enforce disciplined risk management

✅ Time-Based Trading Lock

Fully configurable lock period:

• Hours

The EA automatically unlocks trading after the specified period expires.
