Ultimate EA Manager watches every expert advisor on your account from a single chart — pausing, resuming, and protecting them so you don't have to babysit ten charts at once.
USER MANUAL · v3.02The manager lives on a single chart and controls every EA on the account from there. It doesn't matter which symbol or timeframe you pick for that chart — the manager doesn't trade it.
Everything the manager knows is on one panel. Here's the map:
The ✓ / ✕ button on each row decides whether the manager touches that EA at all. Managed (✓) EAs get the full treatment — drawdown protection, news and schedule windows, pause/resume. Ignored (✕) EAs are hands-off: the manager still shows their stats but never interferes. New discoveries start ignored so nothing changes behavior until you say so.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| ACTIVE | Trading normally — the manager is watching but not intervening. |
| ■ MANUAL | You paused it. It stays paused until you resume it. |
| DD HIT | The EA hit its drawdown limit. Positions were closed and it's paused for protection. |
| NEWS | Paused inside a news window. Resumes automatically when the window ends. |
| SCHEDULE | Outside its allowed trading hours. Resumes automatically on schedule. |
| SLOT WAIT | Waiting its turn — another EA currently holds the trading slot. |
| IGNORED | Visible but hands-off. Click ✕ to flip it back to managed. |
Click Pause on any managed row and the manager stops that EA from trading — no new positions, no modifications. Its chart is taken over by a clear pause card that shows exactly why it's paused, so there's never any doubt about its state. It's instant, even when you pause several at once with Pause All.
Click Resume and the EA comes straight back exactly as it was — original settings, indicators, chart, everything restored automatically.
Whenever an EA is paused — by you, by a drawdown limit, by news, or by schedule — its chart shows a centered card that says why, and the rest of the chart stays visible behind it.
The headline on the card matches the reason in the panel: MANUALLY PAUSED, DRAWDOWN LIMIT REACHED, NEWS WINDOW, OUTSIDE TRADING WINDOW, WAITING FOR SLOT, or ACCOUNT DRAWDOWN LIMIT. When the cause clears — the news passes, the schedule opens, you click Resume — the card disappears on its own.
Two layers of protection, both set directly on the panel:
Type a number into any row's DD % box. If that EA's drawdown reaches the limit, the manager closes its positions and pauses it — the row flips to DD HIT and the chart gets its pause card. Set 0 to disable the limit for that EA.
The ACCT DD % box in the header is the circuit breaker for the whole account. If total account drawdown reaches it, every managed EA is paused at once. Use it as the number you never want to see — the individual EA limits should trip long before this one does.
Occasionally an EA labels its trades with a name the manager can't match — you'll see the EA itself on one row, and a second mystery row (often a short code like "z2") holding its positions. The manager deliberately keeps them separate rather than guessing wrong. The Link button lets you connect them in two clicks:
Clicked Link by mistake? Click it again to cancel — nothing happens until you pick a target row.
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Resume All | Resumes every managed EA at once — including clearing an account-DD stop. Ignored EAs are untouched. |
| Pause All | Pauses every managed EA. Positions stay open; the EAs just stop acting. |
| Close All | Closes every open position from managed EAs. Use with intention — this is the fire escape. |
| Schedule | Opens the schedule screen (below). |
Click the NEWS pill to toggle it. When on, managed EAs are paused around high-impact news events and resumed automatically afterward — the row shows NEWS during the window.
Click Schedule to open the schedule screen. Give any EA (or all of them) allowed trading hours and days; outside those windows the manager pauses them and shows SCHEDULE. Everything resumes on time without you touching anything — set it once and let the panel run your week.
Yes. It discovers and manages any expert advisor on the account — yours, ours, or third-party — with no configuration. Utility tools (like data-sync EAs) are excluded automatically so they never get paused by accident.
The pause card takes over the chart and the EA is set aside so it can't trade. Nothing is lost — the moment you click Resume, the EA comes back exactly as it was, with its own settings, indicators, and graphics fully restored.
The manager remembers. On startup it re-finds every paused EA's chart, restores the pause cards, and keeps DD-stopped EAs stopped. Nothing resumes without your say-so (or its schedule/news window clearing, if that's what paused it).
No. The manager takes a full snapshot of the chart before it pauses, so Resume puts everything back exactly as it was — the EA's inputs, your indicators, colours, and drawings all return untouched.
Yes — one manager per account, each on its own chart in its own terminal. They operate independently. Just don't run two managers on the same account.
That's the situation the Link button exists for. Click Link on the row holding the trades, then click the real EA's name. Two clicks, fixed permanently.
No. Pause freezes the EA — existing positions remain open and untouched. If you want positions closed, that's Close All, or a drawdown limit doing its job.
That's slot coordination: how many EAs currently hold positions, out of how many are managed, against the maximum allowed to hold at once. When the slot is taken, other managed EAs wait their turn and show SLOT WAIT. You can change the maximum in the EA's settings.
