Stopline Trade Manager EZ: free trade panel for MT5 and MT4

Your entry. Your exit. Your way.

A free, compact trade panel for MetaTrader 5 and 4. Set the entry, stop and targets on the chart or in the panel, size the lot from your risk or type it, and send any order type. Then manage every position with one press: close, close a percentage, breakeven.

Free on the MQL5 Market, with no time limit. You need MetaTrader 5 or 4 on a computer and a free MQL5 account. The buttons open mql5.com in a new tab. How installing works

On a phone: EZ runs in MetaTrader on a Windows PC or a Mac, not in the MetaTrader phone app. Open this page on your computer to install it.

The EZ window on a chart: lot 1.96 for a risk of 1 percent, a stop 25 pips away, a target at twice the risk, and the planning lines with their figures.
The EZ window: the lot, the risk in money and the reward-to-risk ratio sit above Buy and Sell, and the entry, stop and target lines carry the same figures.

No signals: every entry starts with you.

Stopline Trade Manager adds partial closes, a trailing stop and breakeven that run by rules you set, plus hidden stops, OCO and statistics. Rent it for 1 month for US$30 to try it, or buy it once.

Placing a trade

Drop it on a chart and allow Algo Trading. The entry, stop and target lines appear, already spread so you can grab them, with the lot, the risk and the reward on their labels.

The Stopline Trade Manager EZ window: lot and risk, the reward-to-risk ratio, stop loss and take profit, the order type, Buy and Sell, and the pending-order buttons.
Place the lines Type your risk as an amount or a percentage and move the stop line: the lot, the money at risk and the reward-to-risk ratio update as you drag. Drag the entry away from the price and the order becomes a stop or limit order.
The confirmation before a buy: direction, lot 1.96, entry, stop and target with their distances, risk 490 USD (1 percent), reward 980 USD and the spread.
Confirm Press Buy or Sell and check the lot, entry, stop, target, risk and reward: Enter sends it, Esc cancels. Or switch to one-click trading.

What EZ does not do

  • It gives no signals, predicts nothing and opens no trade by itself.
  • It does not run the exit by rules: no trailing stop, no automatic breakeven or partial close, no hidden stops, virtual orders, OCO or time manager, no statistics or journal. Stopline Trade Manager has them.
  • Take-profit levels, and stop-limit orders on MT4, are kept by the Expert Advisor: they work while the terminal is running and connected.
  • Push and e-mail alerts use the terminal's own notification settings.

  2. Press Download, then sign in to MQL5 or create a free account.

EZ questions

Is EZ really free?

Yes. Both EZ products, for MT5 and for MT4, are free on the MQL5 Market, with every function, no time limit and free updates. Stopline Trade Manager, whose exits can run by themselves, is a separate paid product.

How do I get and install it?

The buttons open EZ on the MQL5 Market. Press Download, sign in with your MQL5 account and let the page open MetaTrader, which installs EZ. You can also find it in MetaTrader's own Market tab, in the Toolbox (MT5) or the Terminal window (MT4). It works with any broker and account, and updates are free.

Is EZ a lot size calculator?

Yes. Type the risk as an amount or a percentage and set the stop on the chart or in the panel: EZ works out the lot from the tick value your account books and rounds it down to the volume step. The free lot size calculator on this site does the same sum in your browser, before you install anything.

Does EZ move the stop to breakeven by itself?

No. EZ moves the stop to the entry, plus a fixed offset, when you press Breakeven, the E key or Breakeven now in a position's menu. Stopline Trade Manager does it automatically in four modes and adds partial closes and seven trailing stop types.

Where do I ask for help?

In the product's Comments on the MQL5 Market or by private message on MQL5. If something does not work as described, say what you did and what happened. We answer within 24 hours.

Can it trade in one click?

Yes. A confirmation with every figure comes before each order by default; turn on one-click trading and orders are sent on the first press. Closing can ask for a confirmation as well, or not.

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 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.

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.

The hotkeys do nothing. Why?

Usually an input box on the panel has the keyboard: click once on an empty part of the chart. MetaTrader never passes Alt combinations to an Expert Advisor, so use Shift or Ctrl+Shift.

Your entry. Your exit. Your way.
