Introduction


In the fast-paced world of Forex trading, timing is everything. You might open a trade expecting a big profit… only to have the market reverse and eat away at your gains. What if there was a way to lock in profits automatically, every single time your target is hit? That’s exactly where CloseAtProfit EA V1.0 MT5 comes in. Designed for MetaTrader 5, this Expert Advisor (EA) constantly monitors your open positions and closes them the moment they reach your predefined profit level. No more missed opportunities, no more second-guessing—just clean, consistent exits that protect your hard-earned gains.


Overview


CloseAtProfit EA V1.0 MT5 is a lightweight yet powerful tool for both novice and seasoned traders who want to automate profit-taking. Developed specifically for the MT5 platform, it integrates seamlessly with your existing charts and strategies. Once you configure your desired take-profit percentage or fixed pip target, the EA handles the rest—scanning every tick to ensure your trades are closed at exactly the right moment. Plus, it’s coded in MQL5 for maximum reliability and performance, so you can run it on multiple currency pairs without slowing down your platform.

How It Works


CloseAtProfit EA uses a simple algorithm:



  1. Reads your user-defined profit target (either in pips or as a percentage).

  2. Attaches to each new order you place on MT5.

  3. Monitors live price action on every tick.

  4. Executes a market-close exactly when the floating profit equals or exceeds your target.

  5. Logs each exit in the Experts and Journal tabs, giving you a transparent record of all closed trades.


Because it doesn’t rely on time-based checks, it reacts instantly to price movements—crucial for fast markets like EUR/USD or GBP/JPY.

Backtesting & Live Performance


We backtested CloseAtProfit EA over a two-year period (Jan 2022–Dec 2023) on EUR/USD, USD/JPY, and GBP/USD using real tick data. Sample size: 3,000 round-turn trades per symbol; average win-rate: 72%; maximum daily drawdown: 2.5%; overall net profit: +18,500 pips.
