Entry with a fixed risk
You drag the stop-loss line, the panel calculates the lot size for your risk per trade and places the stop with the order.
Trailing stop EA for MetaTrader 5
A trailing stop that thinks in risk, not in pips
The built-in MT5 trailing stop follows the price at a fixed distance in points. ProRisk Manager ties breakeven and trailing to the risk of each trade: at the profit you set, the stop moves to entry, then it follows in steps of your initial risk. Several positions can trail together.
A trailing stop does not guarantee a profit. Gaps and slippage can move the exit price.

What happens during the trade
Breakeven at your trigger
When the profit reaches the share of the initial risk you set, for example 100%, the stop moves to entry, plus a few pips of offset if you want.
Trailing in steps of your risk
After breakeven the stop follows in steps you define as a share of the initial risk. A trade with a wide stop gets more room than a scalp.
Several positions as one group
Positions with the same stop can trail together: the newest one sets the pace and all stops move at once. The partial close buttons take off 25, 50, 75 or 100% with one click.
Good to know
- Trailing starts after breakeven, so you switch both on together.
- The EA manages the positions it opened on its chart, not trades from other EAs.
- It works while MT5 runs. For round-the-clock trailing, run MT5 on a VPS.
- It does not open trades on its own signals.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the MT5 trailing stop?
The MT5 trailing stop follows the price at a fixed distance in points, position by position. ProRisk Manager starts with breakeven at a profit you choose, trails in steps of the trade's initial risk and can move several positions as one group.
Does the trailing stop work when MT5 is closed?
No. The EA moves the stop while MT5 runs. In the standard setting the stop sits at your broker, so the position keeps its last stop level. For continuous trailing, run MT5 on a VPS.
Which instruments does it work with?
With anything you can trade in MT5 at your broker: forex, indices, metals and crypto.
How does the trial work?
You enter your email, confirm it and get a 14-day PRO license with every feature. No payment details are needed, and the trial ends by itself.
