I assume you also have DoNotDisableConditions set to true? If you disable it, you will be able to effectively turn the EA on and off by ticking/unticking your condition's checkbox.

Hi there, admin. How do I set up this EA to achieve the following:
1. Single position size limit (e.g., set to 0.5 lots): If I open 0.8 lots, the EA will close 0.3 lots (keeping 0.5 lots).
2. Total position volume limit (e.g., set to 2.0 lots): When this limit is hit, no new positions are allowed—any new position opened will be closed immediately (not liquidating all existing positions, just the newly opened one).
3. It would be perfect if this EA supports translation.
（Note: This EA does not natively support partial closing or "close only new positions"—additional tools like Position Sizer are needed to achieve these functions.）

Hello, does AP work in an MT5 account where there are more than 1 EAs? Ex 2 EA on gold with diff time and usdjpy? How to set it up? Thx
I don't think AP cares how many other EAs you are running in the terminal. It never interacts with other EAs. What it does is toggling the platform's auto-trading switch.
Hello admin,
first I would like to thank you for giving such a nice product.
I see in the attached picture there are more options in the v1.12. But in v1.13 I only see less options.
I need to control the number of positions, But I can not see that option in v1.13
Is it possible me to get the v1.12 ?

Thanks. My bad. I did not noticed that.
By the way, I tested some functions and there is an issue with order direction. Even I select Long only, it opens both buy and sell orders and both type of pending orders too.
Also when I click emergency button it closes only selected positions related to the order direction.
(If I selected Long only it closes only all buy orders and buy pending orders. All sell orders and sell pending orders do not close
and vise versa)
Apart from that everything looks perfect
Could you please elaborate? What exactly are you doing and what is happening? Normally, Account Protector shouldn't be opening any orders at all - irrespective of how you set it up.
I am using an EA which opens both buy and sell orders and also placing both buy stop and sell stop orders. I wanted to open only buy and buy stop orders OR sell and sell stop orders. So in AP I selected Long only in order direction filter and activate my EA. But it opened both buy and sell orders and both type of pending orders too. when I click emergency button it closed only buy and buy stop positions. All sell orders and sell pending orders did not close.
AP cannot control what other EAs do - the Filters tab is used to filter the orders/positions for AP only. So, when you set the filter to Long only, you configured the AP to work with long orders only - hence its emergency button behavior.
Unfortunately, you cannot use AP to make another EA to open only long orders. This cannot be done from outside of that specific EA.
