The Patch is an MT5 utility that never opens trades. It scans open positions and pending orders and adds a missing stop loss or take profit, set as a distance in points from the entry price.

The Patch is a utility for MetaTrader 5 that does one narrow job: it makes sure that trades and pending orders on your account are not left without a stop loss or take profit. It never opens a position. It looks at what is already there and fills in what is missing.
The utility checks your open positions and pending orders repeatedly, about twice every second. When it finds one with no stop loss, no take profit, or neither, it calculates a level and writes it into the trade. The level is measured in points from the price where the position started, or from the order price in the case of a pending order. Once the missing value is in place, it moves on to the next item.
Because it has no entry logic, it can sit alongside manual trading or other expert advisors. It is aimed at the gap between placing a trade and remembering to finish setting it up.
Since the tool reacts to trades rather than to price patterns, the chart timeframe does not affect its logic. It can be attached to any chart in your terminal. Check in the inputs whether it covers every symbol on the account or only the chart symbol, and confirm this on a demo account before using it on live trades.
Exact input names can differ, so read the input tab after loading the program. In general, review the following areas.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Stop loss distance | Distance in points from the starting price; make sure it respects your broker's minimum stop level |
| Take profit distance | Distance in points; leave it off if you do not want targets added |
| Scope | All symbols or the current chart only, and whether manual and automated trades are both included |
| Pending orders | Whether pending orders are patched as well as open positions |
Points are not pips on every symbol. Five-digit forex quotes, metals and indices all define a point differently, so check what a given distance means in money terms for each instrument you trade.
Trading carries risk and past results do not predict future ones. A stop loss added by this utility limits exposure only in normal conditions; slippage, gaps and rejected modifications can still lead to losses larger than planned. Test on a demo account first.
Keep the terminal and connection running, ideally on a VPS, because the utility can only act while the platform is online.

No. It has no entry logic and takes no view on direction. It only looks at positions and pending orders that already exist and fills in a stop loss or take profit if one is missing.
This listing is for MetaTrader 5 only. MT4 and MT5 programs are not interchangeable, so an MT5 file will not load in MT4. Check that you are buying the build that matches your terminal.
Look at the stop loss and take profit distances in points, whether the tool applies to all symbols or only the chart symbol, and whether it filters by magic number or by manual trades. Set these on a demo account first and confirm the result against your broker's rules.
Brokers set a minimum distance from the market for stops and targets, and some restrict changes to orders very close to the price. If the distance you enter is too small, the server can reject the change. Algo trading must also be switched on in the terminal.
It should run on any MT5 broker that allows expert advisors to modify orders. Contract sizes, point values and stop level rules differ between brokers and symbols, so test on a demo account with your broker before relying on it.
No. A stop can be filled at a worse price during gaps or fast markets, and trading carries risk. Past results do not predict future ones.
