Cerberus Equity Watcher

Cerberus the Equity Watcher is a risk management tool that constantly monitors your account equity and avoid major drawdowns, caused by faulty EAs or by your emotional behaviour if you are a discretional trader. It is extremely useful for systematic traders that rely on EAs that might contain bugs, or that might not performed well in unexpected market conditions. 

Cerberus let you set a minimum equity value and (optionally) a  maximum value, if either of those are reached all positioned are flattened, all pending orders are closedand all EAs are "killed". Upon flattening all positions a notification is sent to the user mobile phone and a clear message is displayed on the screen. After the "flattening" Cerberus keeps watching the equity value and keeps killing any further attempt to trade until it is reinitialized.

Any operation performed by Cerberus is clearly displayed on the screen, reported on the Expert advisor tab and  notifications are sent to the user. In order to avoid user mistakes, several checks are performed on the input value inserted by the user and on the current status of the automatic trading.

NETTING ACCOUNTS COMPATIBLE:  Cerberus is fully compatible with both hedging and netting accounts.
