Both editions come from the MQL5 Market. MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4 are separate products: get the one for your terminal. How to get and install it

The product pages on the MQL5 Market: EZ MT5 · EZ MT4 · Stopline Trade Manager MT5 · MT4

Look inside the panel

Stopline Trade Manager has eight tabs, laid out as they are in MetaTrader. EZ keeps the essentials on one page, with a Manage mode for the exit.

Trade tab with two extra take-profit levels.

Trade tab

Sizing and order entry

  • Lot from risk and stop, nine risk bases and a reward-to-risk lock.
  • Every order type including stop-limit, from the lines, a list or the keyboard.
  • Up to five take-profit levels, each with its own share of the lot.

In EZ: The same sizing and order entry, on its one page.

All features of both editions on one page

What it catches before an order goes out

A lot that does not match your risk

A 1 % trade never quietly becomes 1.3 %. You type the risk and drag the stop; the lot comes from the tick value your account actually books and is rounded down to the broker's volume step. When the broker's published tick value differs, the panel tells you.

The market order you did not mean

Buy and Sell are greyed out while you set up a pending order. A press against the planned direction flips the plan first instead of sending. A confirmation shows lot, risk, stop and target before anything goes out.

A stop that never got set

Every order from the panel carries the stop you drew on the chart, and the confirmation shows it before anything is sent.

An order the account cannot carry

Every order is checked against the account first: the panel refuses one the account cannot carry and says why, instead of leaving the broker to reject it.

A trade past your own limits

Both editions carry the same guards: a daily loss limit that blocks new entries for the rest of the day, maximum open trades, exposure per symbol and a spread limit.

Daily loss limit: the guide

Compare the two editions

Both size and place a trade the same way. The difference is what runs after the entry, and how much window you want.

Trying it on your own charts first

Start with EZ: it is free, and Stopline Trade Manager can later take over the trades EZ opened. To try Stopline Trade Manager itself, rent it for 1 month for US$30. The MQL5 Market does not refund purchases, and its free demo runs only in the Strategy Tester, where MetaTrader passes no clicks to a panel: you can look at it there, not use it.

Who is behind it

Stopline Trade Manager and Stopline Trade Manager EZ are made by Brendon, a trader for 15 years, in Australia. Questions about either edition: the product's Comments tab or a private message on MQL5. We answer within 24 hours. About and contact

Questions before you start

Which edition do I need?

Both size and place a trade the same way: the lot from your risk and the stop line, every order type, up to five take-profit levels and a confirmation before every order. Take EZ if you close your trades yourself and want one compact window. Take Stopline Trade Manager if you want partial closes, a trailing stop and breakeven to run by rules you set, or need virtual orders, hidden stops, OCO or statistics.

How do I get and install it?

The buttons open the MQL5 Market at mql5.com. You need a free MQL5 account there, and MetaTrader on a Windows PC or a Mac signed in to the same account (Tools, Options, Community). EZ is free: press Download on its page and let the page open MetaTrader, which installs it. Stopline Trade Manager: buy or rent it there, then in MetaTrader open the Market tab of the Toolbox (MT5) or of the Terminal window (MT4), select Purchased and press Install. Either one then sits in the Navigator under Expert Advisors, Market: drag it onto a chart and allow Algo Trading. Each works on 10 computers, with any broker and account, and updates are free. EZ cannot be installed from a phone.

Can I try it before I pay?

Stopline Trade Manager: rent it for 1 month for US$30 and use it on your own live or demo charts. EZ is free, so you can use it on your own charts straight away. The free demo of Stopline Trade Manager on the MQL5 Market runs only in the Strategy Tester, where MetaTrader passes no mouse clicks to an Expert Advisor, so you can look at the panel there but not use it.

Can I get a refund?

The MQL5 Market does not refund purchases, so read the manual first, and rent Stopline Trade Manager if you want to try it on your charts. If something does not work as described, write in the product's Comments: the MQL5 rules let you ask for a fix within a month of purchase, and we answer within 24 hours.

MT5 or MT4: which do I need?

The one for the terminal you trade in. Each edition is two products, one for MetaTrader 5 and one for MetaTrader 4, with the same panel and manual; one does not include the other. The few differences come from MetaTrader 4 itself and are listed in each manual.

Can I move from EZ to Stopline Trade Manager later?

Yes. Stopline Trade Manager is a separate purchase. Attach it and set its magic number input to 20260929: it then manages the positions that EZ opened. Their take-profit levels stay with EZ, so set new ones in Stopline Trade Manager if you want them.

Can I run EZ and Stopline Trade Manager in one terminal?

Yes, on different charts. Each has its own magic number and its own data folder, so with their default inputs neither touches the other's trades, settings or chart objects.

Does it open trades by itself?

No. Neither edition gives signals; every entry starts with you. The one exception is a scheduled open you set up in Stopline Trade Manager's trade time manager. In a Strategy Tester run without visualization each makes one small test trade, which the MQL5 Market's automatic check requires.

Can it stop me trading for the day after a set loss?

Yes. The daily loss limit blocks new entries for the rest of the day once your loss reaches your limit; maximum open trades and exposure per symbol stop you from overtrading or doubling up on one symbol.

Which brokers and symbols does it work with?

Any MetaTrader broker and any symbol it offers. The lot uses the tick value your account actually books, and the panel tells you when the broker's published figure is different.

Your entry. Your exit. Your way.

EZ is free. Stopline Trade Manager US$49, one-time payment (launch price for the first 10 copies; after that US$99).
