Equity Guardian EA

This little EA is designed to protect your account from unexpected drawdowns and/or lock in profits.

Note:

1. It does NOT place orders.
2. It does NOT amend existing orders.
3. It can be used alongside any other EA or manual strategy that you care to use.

Features

1. Monitors EQUITY, not simply floating profit/loss.
2. Can monitor all trades, trades submitted by any EA or trades submitted by a specific EA.
3. Closes all monitored trades if equity falls below a specified loss limit (expressed in either an amount or a percentage of the opening balance)
4. Closes all monitored trades if equity reaches a specified profit target.
5. Can disable auto trading when close is triggered.
