TraderAgent
Professional Trade Assistant Tool for MetaTrader 4
TraderAgent is the ultimate forex Trader’s assistant. This is not an automatic trading robot (EA) and it doesn’t take decisions or opens position, but it helps your professional work when you trading manual. All important information is displayed on the chart, so you only need to open the position, with just one click. Managing the opened position is just as easy as it could be: with your mouse or pointing device, you can easily adjust the stoploss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels with drag-and-drop method. After that TraderAgent will work for you as a position management solution.
In contrast to most of the available programs in this kind TraderAgent can help you manage trading risk. You just only have to determine the maximum risk per position, and TraderAgent will automatically calculate the amount of trade (Lots) on every new position.
With its user-friendly graphical interface, anyone could quickly learn how to use TraderAgent successfully during daytrade.

Position reverse
When you’re trading and you may think the market could turn opposite to your trading plans, with one click the existing position will be immediately closed and open a new, contrary position with the same LOT size. With this option TraderAgent can reverse the next trade.
Breakeven function
When you have open position(s) and the market direction is going into your planned profit area, you may want to pull StopLoss to the opened position’s price (say, you’re passing breakeven point with 0 profit & 0 loss). All this process could be delivered by TraderAgent with your one single click.
Close all function
If you have more than one position open (for example you’re in building positions or because of grid strategy), and at the same time you want to close all positions, you can simple close all with one click on “Close all” button on the control panel of TraderAgent.
