Trade Guardian is a graphical trade panel for MetaTrader 5. It sits on your chart and brings order entry, risk-based lot sizing, closing tools, breakeven, trailing stops and account protection limits into one window. It is meant for traders who place their own trades and want help with the routine work around them.
The tool is split into four panels: Trade, Close, Manage and Setting. You can switch between them from the panel header, and you can collapse the whole window when you need a clear chart.
Buttons close all buys, all sells, only winning positions, only losing positions or everything. Each shows the live profit and margin involved, and partial closing is available. A conditional close option can act on one or all symbols once your condition is met, and pending orders can be deleted in bulk.
Breakeven uses a trigger distance and an offset, with an automatic offset that accounts for spread and commission. Trailing stops can follow a fixed distance, the high or low of recent bars, a moving average, Parabolic SAR or ATR. Each can be added, changed or removed with a checkbox.
Here you find light and dark themes, sounds, screenshots on trade events, mobile notifications, and protection rules. You can cap drawdown per day, week and month, by percentage or amount, and limit the number of losing trades per day.
It is not tied to a single instrument. It can be used on any symbol and timeframe your broker provides, and you can change symbol and timeframe from inside the panel. Contract sizes, spreads and minimum stop distances vary by broker, so check these for each symbol.
Exact defaults can differ between releases, so review the inputs and panel options after loading. The table lists the main areas to check.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Risk mode | Fixed lot, % balance, % equity or money amount, and the value for each |
| Grid | Number of orders, step distance and lot factor type |
| SL and TP | Unit, levels, partial close shares and virtual mode |
| Breakeven | Trigger distance, offset and auto offset |
| Trailing stop | Type, trigger, distance, step or indicator inputs |
| Limits | Daily, weekly and monthly drawdown and daily loss count |
Grid and martingale-style sizing increase exposure as price moves against you, so keep the number of orders and the lot factor modest and know your worst case before you start. Virtual stops are not placed at the broker, so they will not protect you if the terminal is closed or the connection drops.
Trading carries risk and you can lose more than you expect. Past results do not predict future ones. This tool helps you apply your own rules but does not remove market risk. Test on a demo account first.
The tool does not run in the strategy tester, so use a demo account to practise.

No reviews yet. Customers who own Trade Guardian MT5 can review it here.
No. The tool is a panel for live and demo charts and is not designed to be run in the strategy tester. Try it on a demo account first to learn how each panel behaves before using it with real money.
No. It is a utility for manual traders. You choose when to open orders, and the panel helps with sizing, grid placement, stops, closing and trade management. Its management functions then act on those positions according to the options you switch on.
This listing is for the MT5 build only. MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 use different file formats, so an MT5 tool will not load in MT4. Check that your broker account is on MT5 before buying.
Positions and orders it is tracking are kept in local storage, so management of them should carry on after you reattach it. Breakeven and trailing stop settings are cleared, so you need to set them again.
Copy the file into the Experts folder via File, Open Data Folder, MQL5, Experts in MT5. Refresh the Navigator or restart the terminal, then drag the tool onto a chart and enable Algo Trading. Check the settings once loaded.
It should work with brokers that offer MT5 accounts, but symbol names, stop levels, spreads and order rules differ. Test on a demo account with your broker and check minimum lot size and stop distance limits before live use.
