Trade Manager — Safe Trading Made Easy

Imagine having a calculator that figures out exactly how much to risk on each trade, then places the trade for you with one button click. That's what Trade Manager does.

Why Do I Need This?

Before Trade Manager, placing a safe trade required calculating risk, figuring out pip distance, calculating lot size, double-checking, placing the trade manually, and setting SL/TP levels. With Trade Manager:

How to Use Trade Manager

  1. Set your risk amount — In the panel, type how much money you want to risk (like $10 or 1%)
  2. Move the lines — You'll see a red line (stop loss) and green line (take profit). Drag them where you want them.
  3. Check the lot size — The panel shows how many lots it calculated. This is automatic!
  4. Click BUY or SELL — Click the big green BUY button or red SELL button
  5. Manage your trade — Use buttons like "Move to Breakeven" or "Close 50%"

FAQ

Q: What if I don't see the red and green lines?

Make sure "Show SL/TP lines" is enabled in the settings. If still not visible, try changing the line colors.

Q: Can I risk a percentage instead of a dollar amount?

Yes! Change "Risk calculation mode" to "Percent of Account" and enter something like 1.0 for 1%.

Q: What does "Move to Breakeven" do?

It moves your stop loss to your entry price, so if the trade reverses, you won't lose money.

Q: Is the PRO version worth it?

PRO adds auto-breakeven, auto-trailing stops, and daily loss protection. Great for active traders.

Trade Journal — Track Your Progress

Imagine having a personal assistant that watches every trade you make and creates a report card showing how well you're doing. Trade Journal automatically tracks every trade and shows you important statistics.

Why Do I Need This?

Most traders lose money because they don't know:

What You'll See

PRO Features

FAQ

Q: Does it track trades automatically?

Yes! Just attach it to any chart and it reads your account history automatically.

Q: Can I export the data to Excel?

Yes! Both versions export to CSV. PRO also creates nice HTML reports you can print.

Q: Will it slow down my trading?

No, it runs quietly in the background and doesn't affect your trading at all.

Trade Copier — Copy Trades Automatically

Imagine you could clone yourself and have the clone trade on another account doing exactly what you do. Trade Copier watches one account (the "master") and copies every trade to other accounts (the "slaves") automatically.

When Would I Use This?

How It Works

  1. Master account — Attach the EA and set it as "Master". This account will be watched.
  2. Slave account — Attach the same EA to other accounts and set as "Slave". These will copy trades.
  3. Trade normally — When you place a trade on master, it automatically appears on slave accounts.
  4. Lot size adjusting — If master trades 1.0 lots but slave is smaller, it adjusts automatically.

Lot Sizing Methods (PRO)

MethodDescriptionExample
Fixed MultiplierMaster lots × multiplier0.1 × 2.0 = 0.2
PercentagePercentage of master lots0.1 × 50% = 0.05
Risk PercentCalculate based on slave account risk1% risk = 0.15
Balance RatioProportional to account balance$10K/$50K = 0.2×
Equity RatioProportional to account equityBased on equity

FAQ

Q: Do both accounts need to be open at the same time?

Yes, both MetaTrader 5 platforms need to be running with the EA attached.

Q: How fast does it copy trades?

Usually within 1-2 seconds. You can add a delay if needed.

Q: Can I copy trades in reverse (BUY becomes SELL)?

Yes, PRO version has a "Reverse Copy" feature for this.

Q: Can I copy to accounts with different brokers?

Yes, as long as both accounts have the same symbols available.

Prop Firm Manager — Protect Your Challenge

Imagine having a bodyguard for your prop firm challenge that never sleeps and never makes mistakes. Prop Firm Manager watches your account 24/7 and automatically protects you from breaking prop firm rules.

How It Protects You

Choose "Custom" and enter your firm's specific rules manually.

Q: Does it work for Phase 2 challenges?

Yes, you can set it to Phase 1 or Phase 2 rules (Phase 2 usually has lower profit targets).

Prop Firm Simulator — Practice for Free

Imagine being able to practice driving before taking your driving test. Prop Firm Simulator lets you practice prop firm challenges on demo accounts before paying real money.

Why Practice First?

Prop firm challenges cost money: FTMO $50K challenge = $540. Most challenges cost $200-$1000+. Many traders fail multiple times!

  5. Get results — See if you passed or failed, with detailed breakdown

What You'll Learn

FAQ

Q: Is this the same as the real challenge?

The rules are identical, but it's on your demo account. Great for practice but not official.

Q: Can I run multiple simulations?

Yes! Free tracks one at a time. PRO keeps history of up to 50 attempts.

Q: Does it export results?

PRO exports detailed CSV reports with all metrics, violations, and pass/fail breakdown.
