TF Trade Manager for MT5

What this MT5 EA does

1. Targets one exact position ticket on the chart symbol.
2. Stores the original adverse-stop distance locally and measures progress in R.
3. Proposes a break-even stop and optional closed-bar ATR trail; never deliberately widens an existing stop.
4. Optional one-time partial close is restricted to hedging demo accounts.

Inputs and default settings

These are the defaults in the supplied source. Review them for your account, exact broker symbol and intended test. They are not optimised trading recommendations.

Limitations and failure conditions

• EnableDemoManagement and EnablePartialClose are false by default. All account-changing operations require demo/tester mode.
• An initial adverse stop is required when original risk is first recorded. Break-even is entry price, not a fee-adjusted break-even.
• Stored risk and partial-close flags use terminal Global Variables. Use the same terminal and retain those values for an existing ticket.
• Partial close may not be possible at minimum lot sizes. Netting partial-close operations are intentionally unavailable.
• Only one manager should control a given position. Network outages, broker rejections and terminal shutdown stop management.

Install in MetaTrader 5

1. Extract the ZIP and read its README before attaching any file.
2. In MT5, choose File → Open Data Folder. Copy the MQ5, EX5 and TFCommon.mqh files together into MQL5/Experts/TradeForex.
3. Refresh Navigator and attach the EA to a chart in an isolated demo or tester. Review its inputs and data requirements.
4. Use one instance per chart. Reattach after changing accounts; retain the documented state files and settings when testing restarts.

No broker password, web API key or DLL permission is required by this package.

Acceptance checks before relying on it

The following checklist is pending. It is not a report of passed runtime tests.

• Verify that the wrong ticket and wrong chart symbol are ignored.
• Check long and short break-even proposals, ATR values and stop/freeze-level rejection on demo.
• Restart the EA and verify that its original-risk and one-time partial-close state persist.
• Confirm that disabled management, a real account and an account switch cannot alter positions.
