Order-basket managers
TraderTool
Five-slot basket manager on a single board
- MetaTrader 5 v2.0.5 Released
The on-chart board
TraderTool takes over the positions already open on your account, groups them by symbol and direction into up to five baskets, and manages each one by explicit rules — adding grid legs when price moves against the basket by the distance you set, computing the volume-weighted average entry, and writing one shared take-profit onto every leg. It alerts you when drawdown reaches your threshold.
What it does
- Adopts the positions already open on the account, ignoring magic numbers
- Averages in as a grid once price runs a set number of points (300 by default) past the basket's worst-priced leg — each added leg takes the basket's smallest lot, up to 15 legs
- Computes the volume-weighted average entry and writes one shared TP onto every leg, the same distance from the average however deep the basket gets
- Account-wide stop loss set as a percentage of balance, plus a CLEAR button that closes the whole account the first time floating profit turns positive
- Drawdown alerts through MetaTrader push notifications
- An ON / OFF switch on the board, with a Bangkok clock that stays correct on any server — no entry buttons on a live account
- Backtest inputs that have the EA open the first leg itself in the Strategy Tester
- Three board sizes (SM / MD / LG), remembered per chart
How it works
-
The first trade is yours
TraderTool is not a signal generator and never opens the first leg on a live account — it comes from you, your phone, a trade copier, or another signal EA.
-
Slotted
Every distinct (symbol, direction) pair is adopted into one of five slots and treated as a single basket.
-
Averaging by distance
When price moves against the basket by the configured distance, the EA adds one leg in the same direction, sized at the basket's smallest lot.
-
One shared TP
Whenever a new leg arrives without a TP, and every time you switch ON, the average entry is recomputed and the same TP value is written to every leg.
-
Closing out
A basket closes at its shared TP; the stop loss and the CLEAR button close the whole account; and you can always close by hand.
Who it suits
- Traders running several pairs at once who want every basket on one screen
- Traders whose entries come from elsewhere (a copier, a signal EA) and who want a manager with explicit rules
- Traders who understand averaging-in and accept the risk that comes with it
What to watch out for
- Requires a hedging account — the strategy holds several legs on the same symbol and direction.
- Its stop loss and the CLEAR button close every position on the account and delete every pending order, including trades it never opened — do not run it alongside another strategy on the same account.
- Averaging in grows the exposure with every leg; size the lots and the stop loss against your capital.
- Always test on a demo account, through every condition you expect, before going live.
Questions about TraderTool
Does it open the first trade for me?
No. TraderTool manages, it does not signal. On a live account the first leg comes from you, a copier, or another signal EA (in the Strategy Tester, inputs can have the EA open it).
Can I run it on a netting account?
Not recommended. The strategy needs several legs on the same symbol and direction; a netting account merges them into one position and the basket rules stop making sense.
Do I have to leave my computer on?
An EA only runs while MetaTrader is open and the chart is receiving ticks. For continuous basket management, run it on a VPS — and after every MetaTrader restart the switch starts OFF; while OFF there is no averaging, no TP and no stop loss.
Every tool needs a code to run
The EA files are on the member site. The coupon that activates one is issued per account and carries an expiry date — tell us which EA and which account, and we will issue one.
