Eudora Equity Drawdown Monitor

Your equity drawdown, live, for the whole account and for every Expert Advisor on it.

Most panels show the balance. Equity Drawdown Monitor shows what the account is going through right now: how far the equity is from its peak, how deep it has been, what was closed today, this week and this month, and which Expert Advisor is carrying the open result. Free, and part of the Eudora Instruments series.

What the panel shows

• Gauge: the drawdown from the equity peak, as a percentage. The arc turns from green to amber to red as it fills, and a small white dot marks the deepest drawdown recorded.
• Account: equity, balance, the floating result in money and as a signed percentage, and the deepest drawdown from peak.
• Closed result: today, this week and this month, in server time, with swap, commission and broker charges included.
• Live equity: the equity of the last minutes, one sample per second.
• One line per magic number: open positions, lots, floating and closed result of the month, heaviest line first. Manual trades are listed as "manual".

Built with care

• Animated panel drawn on a canvas: the gauge sweeps to its value and the figures count up and down as the account moves.
• A button folds the panel into a slim bar that keeps the drawdown in view. Drag it anywhere on the chart; it remembers where you left it.
• The peak is stored per account and survives restarts. Deposits and withdrawals are recognised and leave the drawdown percentage unchanged. Bonus credit is left out of the calculation.
• Read-only: it reads account data and draws the panel.

Inputs
