How to automate your trading rules on MT4 and MT5

Turn your rule into an action

A stop-loss concerns one position. An alert tells you about an event. SentinelleTrader monitors account-level limits to apply your stopping decision when one of your configured rules is reached.

You choose your daily drawdown limit and maximum stop-loss count. While a lock is active, new positions are automatically closed until the planned reset. Your rules continue to be applied when you feel tempted to enter another trade.

Set up the protection

1. Connect the correct MT4 or MT5 account using its account number, exact broker server and main trading password.
2. Set your limits, the minimum loss threshold for counting an SL and the reset. Add trading hours if your plan includes them.
3. Save, wait for settings to be applied and check active protection status on the dashboard.

Read-only investor access cannot perform the trading actions the service needs. If the connection fails, correct the account details before relying on protection during a session.

Choose the functions your plan needs

Essential protects one MT4/MT5 account with daily drawdown and stop-loss-count limits. Pro covers two accounts with separate rules and adds trading days and hours.

Protection runs remotely, so your personal computer can be off even when you trade from a phone. The service and its broker connection must still remain operational.

A lock acts on new positions; it does not guarantee rejection before an order opens. Check status and the next reset rather than testing protection by creating new losses.
