Capabilities

Three systems work as one product

Plan and manage trades, protect a prop account and analyze results without disconnected tools.

BEFORE ENTRY

Trade plan

ENTRY · SL · TP

Visually plan levels, calculate volume, money risk and Risk / Reward before entry.

DURING TRADING

Account protection

Group management and drawdown protection

Manage positions, control daily and total drawdown, block entries and use emergency close if enabled.

AFTER THE TRADE

Trading analytics

ALL STATISTICS / EA ONLY

Analyze full MT5 history, periods, months, instruments and buy/sell results.

Position group management

Manage a position set as one trade

When a trader builds a position through several entries, managing each order separately takes time and increases the chance of mistakes.

Set one Stop Loss or Take Profit for all positions on a symbol.

Quickly close all positions, only profitable positions or only losing positions.

Delete pending orders and control the combined result.

Trade execution

Do not just open a position - manage it correctly until exit

Risk Manager helps after entry: it moves one position or a position set to true break-even, fixes profit in parts and warns about important news without automatically banning trading.

True Break-Even

Break-even with commission and swap included

A standard MT5 break-even move may ignore closing commission and accumulated swap. Risk Manager calculates the real zero level so the position does not close slightly negative because of broker costs.

Shared BE

For a set of positions on one symbol. Risk Manager calculates the average group price and sets one shared break-even level.

Individual BE

For one position or a group of orders. One click gives each position its own break-even level including individual costs.

Partial profit taking · Scale-Out Engine

Take profit in parts at TP1 / TP2 / TP3

TP1

Close the first part and optionally move the remainder to Auto-BE.

TP2

Lock in the second part by the configured volume percentage.

TP3

Automatically close the remaining position without manually recalculating percentages.

Levels can be placed automatically by ATR and then moved manually. After execution, the line is removed and the level status changes to completed.

News warning · News Filter

News as a warning, not an automatic ban

The filter uses the built-in MQL5 calendar without external servers. It shows calm mode, pre-news warning, post-news window or no broker data status if the broker does not provide the calendar.

No newsBefore newsAfter newsNo data

News Filter does not interfere with Prop Guard, does not close positions and does not block trades. The decision stays with the trader.

For prop trading

Protect a prop account before a drawdown rule is violated

Risk Manager monitors equity while the terminal is running, tracks daily and total drawdown and follows the profit target. It warns early, blocks new entries at the protection boundary and can close positions by the selected rule if the action is enabled.

WarningYellow warning tells you early that the account is approaching the protection boundary.
ProtectionNew entries are blocked while management of already open positions remains available.
EmergencyAt an official breach, emergency closing can trigger by the selected filter if enabled.
Profit TargetProfit Target helps lock in the result on time: warn, block new entries or close trades by the selected rule.

Important information before use

Risk Manager is a management tool, not a trading strategy. It does not guarantee profit and does not remove trading losses.

Group actions depend on the selected filter mode: current symbol, Risk Manager positions or the whole account. Check settings before using them.

Risk state is saved between restarts. Daily or total base reset is a separate action and should match the selected account rules.

Scale-Out and partial closing depend on the broker minimum volume and lot step.

News Filter uses the built-in MQL5 calendar. If broker data is unavailable, the panel shows that status and keeps working.

MetaTrader 5, DLL permission and WebRequest access to the FXLab license server are required.
