High Tide Health Monitor

Four EAs on one account. Which one is actually making money?

Most people cannot answer that without exporting their history to a spreadsheet and sorting by magic number, which is why most people never do it, and why an EA that has quietly stopped working can run for months before anyone notices.

The High Tide Health Monitor answers it on one panel.

It runs on a single chart, attributes every trade to the EA that opened it, and shows you what each one has made this month, what it has made since you started, and how far it is currently down from its own best. All as a percentage of the same account, so the rows add up.

Running just one EA? It works exactly the same way, and it gives you two things the EA itself will not: a live drawdown reading measured from its own high-water mark, and a month-to-date figure that matches your statement.

It is free. It places no trades.

The blind spot it was built for

Most EAs have an internal drawdown limit, and every one of those limits only ever sees that EA's own trades.

So you can run four systems, each comfortably inside its own rules, all drawing down at the same time. Nothing has breached anything. Your account is still in trouble.

Nobody is watching that number, because by design nobody can. Each EA is blind to the other three. This panel watches it.

What is on the panel

One row per EA, then a portfolio row:

• Month to date, closed trades only, matching your statement
• Total since your start date
• Closed drawdown, measured from that EA's own best closed P/L
• Open P/L, floating, shown separately
• Your two alert levels
• Open position count

Closed drawdown and open P/L are deliberately kept apart. An EA showing −1.80% closed and +0.60% open is clawing its way back. One showing 0.00% closed and −1.80% open has damage it has not booked yet. A single combined number hides the difference, and the difference is the whole point.

It counts trades other dashboards miss

Worth knowing, because it is the reason per-EA figures elsewhere often fail to add up to the account.

A deal does not always carry the magic number of the EA that owns it. The entry deal always does. An exit written by the server, which includes every stop loss fill, take profit fill and stop out, frequently carries magic 0 instead.

Attribute on the magic alone and you charge the entry cost to the EA and drop the entire profit of that trade into nowhere. The EA looks flat when it actually made money.

This one records each position's magic from its entry deal and matches those magic-0 exits back to the EA that owns them. Nothing to configure. It just adds up.

Alerts that do not cry wolf

Two levels per EA, plus two for the account as a whole:

• MONITOR — at the edge of what this system normally does
• STOP & ASSESS — beyond anything it has done before

An alert fires once on the way into a level, not every refresh, and re-arms when the EA makes a new high. The test includes floating losses, so you hear about trouble before it is booked.

Alerts go to Telegram, mobile push and the terminal. Weekly and monthly reports go out on a schedule, in UK time, with BST handled properly.

Setup

1. Drag it onto any chart. Symbol and timeframe do not matter.
2. Type in your magic numbers and a name for each. Ranges work, so an EA using 8000 to 8099 is one entry.
3. Set the date you want P/L counted from.

That is it. Up to 12 EAs.

What it will not do

• It will not close a position, open one, or modify one. There is no circuit breaker.
• It will not stop an EA that is losing money. It tells you. What you do next is yours.
• It cannot attribute a trade that carries no magic number and never did. Those appear on a separate line, so you can see them rather than wonder.

Requirements

MetaTrader 5, any build, any broker, demo or live. Algo Trading switched on so the timer runs, though nothing is traded. One URL on the WebRequest whitelist if you want Telegram.

Included

The EA and a 15-page manual with a setup checklist, a troubleshooting section and a full settings reference.

Free. No trial, no locked features, no upsell.

If it saves you a spreadsheet or paying for an analysis tool, a review helps other people find it.
