It should work even in older versions. Are you sure you configured the right time?
Hello,
I believe I have found a serious bug. The AP closed and deleted all my positions based on wrong calculations.
These are the current AP settings:
This is the journal:
The current balance is $190,861.39.
The SL for my trade was set to lose around 0.50% of the balance.
In any way, shape or form, the equity reached 97% or less of the previous snapshot and/or the daily loss of -3% of the balance.
Can you check, please?
Thank you.

Is that MT4 or MT5? What was the actual equity value at that time? What was the trade's size and which currency pair?
- MT4
- Equity could not go under 0.50% as the SL allowed that maximum risk. Even if you consider the spread or anything else, it definitely could not reach 3%.
- Lot size 5 for US30 (contract size 10).
Yeah, I understand that, but knowing the actual equity would probably help me better understand why it triggered.
Also, did you have WaitForAllConditions set to true?
Some follow-up questions:
1. Did you do any changes to the AdditionalFunds parameter?
2. Are there any disconnection messages in the Journal tab close to that time?
1) No - AdditionalFunds set by default to 0.0.
2) No disconnections for the entire day.
There are rare occasions when developers report that equity is returned as 0 to MQL4/MQL5 programs, but I don't know if that's something that happened here...
Similar thing happened to me this week. Had me frustrated and fuzzy trying to figure out what happened.
AP closed all my trades and the conditions were not met at all
Will share more details from my home computer when I get home but this bug is real
These are the orders it closed, all at the same time and across my Accounts i copy trades to.
It neither hit stop, tp or any conditions
AP Settings
This doesn't look like it was done by the AP as it's not a triggered status. Could you please attach the copies of the Journal and Experts tab logs here showing the closures?
Hi 1:28 of the video is referred. After finding the "Account Protector" subfolder under "Expert Advisors", I did manage to right click and refresh. However, I may not click to open as it is demonstrated. Any advice you could give pls?
BTW, does it make it difference with regard to which broker's account I have logged in? Million thx

No difference with the brokers.
What exactly happens when you try to run it?
Do you follow all the installation instruction steps?
Please attach some screenshots to understand what's going on.
I already reset the triggered status at the time. But I am sure the trades were closed by AP as it is the only EA I use. I will find and attach the logs
Good evening, I apologize for the machine translated English. First of all, my compliments for this fantastic EA, really. Secondly, maybe I didn't understand, but I would need an option that I think isn't there (or I don't understand, I repeat): when the balance has increased by $100 (example) compared to the current equity. In fact, I could have a negative balance compared to the equity, a balance that could then go into surplus compared to the equity; at this point if I have a surplus balance I can want to close everything and start the cycle again from the new point.
Thanks, Carlo
Thanks, Carlo
There are conditions to compared balance to a given value, but if you really need to compare it against your equity, then couldn't you just use the floating profit condition? After all, Equity = Balance + Floating Profit.
