Automated MT5 Expert Advisor with hard drawdown protection for XAUUSD, EURUSD and EURJPY — built for prop firm challenges and funded accounts.
Monitors equity tick by tick. Hard daily stop and overall stop, each configurable, each flattening all positions the moment a limit is reached.
Positions sized from your risk % and the trade's actual stop distance. Risk stays constant across symbols, volatility and account growth.
Blocks new entries in a configurable window around high-impact releases, when spreads widen and slippage bites hardest.
Trade only the sessions you configure. Skip rollover spreads, thin liquidity and Friday-close gambles automatically.
Entries wait when the live spread exceeds your threshold — no more paying triple spread at 22:00 GMT.
License validation on startup, account binding you control in the portal, plus lifetime updates and direct support.

Product preview — challenge preset inputs
Prop firms don't fail traders on profit — they fail them on risk rules. Apex Drawdown Zero enforces your firm's limits before the firm does:
Trading remains risky. Software enforces discipline; it cannot guarantee profits. Risk disclosure.
Placed with the order, not after it. A dropped connection can't orphan a position.
Correlated trades can't quietly stack into one oversized bet.
You can audit exactly when and why the EA paused, sized down or flattened.
Installation, configuration and a full walkthrough of the drawdown guardian.

Backtests are run on real-tick data with variable spread. We won't show you a curve you can't independently verify — so the live account is tracked publicly on Myfxbook.
These figures update automatically from a live account verified by Myfxbook — not a screenshot, not a backtest. Click the widget to inspect every trade, the full equity curve and the verification badge yourself.
Past performance — real or simulated — does not indicate future results.

user manual
What's new in V9 (major update from v7) Multi-pair support The strategy is now volatility-adaptive: the breakout buffer, minimum-range filter, and stop distance all scale to each instrument's ATR instead of fixed points. This lets the same EA run correctly on multiple symbols instead of gold only. Validated on XAUUSD, EURUSD and EURJPY. One-click per-symbol presets (new) New Preset input (default AUTO). Just attach the EA to a chart and it detects the symbol and loads that pair's tuned settings automatically — no manual configuration. On-dashboard button to switch presets live (AUTO → XAUUSD → EURUSD → EURJPY → MANUAL). Included .set files for XAUUSD, EURUSD and EURJPY. Unlisted/unsupported symbols fall back to manual inputs with a log warning. Volatility-adaptive stop-loss (new) Stop distance is now sized from ATR (AtrStopMult), normalising risk across calm and volatile sessions, with a fixed-buffer fallback. Trade-management improvements Removed the old R-based trailing as the default (it was cutting winners short); break-even now arms sooner to protect trades. Session filter added: FirstEntryHour / LastEntryHour to trade the active London/NY window and skip thin liquidity. Optional oversized-range filter (MaxBoxAtr) to skip abnormally wide opening ranges. Optional scale-in (UsePyramid, off by default). Interface Redesigned dashboard with branded background, EA icon, live preset selector, and a support/contact footer. Notes Recommended on XAUUSD, EURUSD, EURJPY. Not recommended on indices (e.g. US30). Please forward-test on a demo account and validate settings for your broker before live use. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
