Core capabilities
The expert is built around speed, risk clarity, and cleaner execution.
Open Positions Panel With Live P/L
Every open trade shows up in the panel with symbol, direction, and live profit. Quick-action buttons sit on the same row: close, break-even, risk-free, and three partial-close levels. Toggle the P/L view between dollars and percent of balance.
One-Click Break-Even and Risk-Free Stops
Two separate buttons on every open position. BE moves stop-loss to the entry price. RF moves it just past entry to lock in a small profit. Use them when price reaches a key level instead of clicking through the modify dialog every time.
Partial Close at Three Configurable Levels
Define three percentages — 50% / 25% / 10% by default — and close that fraction of any open position with a single click. Stepped exits at TP1, TP2, and TP3 without recalculating volume each time.
Auto Lot Size From Risk Percent, Dollar, or Fixed Lot
Switch between three sizing modes in one click: % of account balance, fixed dollar risk, or fixed lot. The expert reads tick value, point size, and stop distance live, then calculates the volume that matches your risk before the order is sent.
Drag-Line Stop-Loss and Take-Profit on the Chart
Click Buy or Sell and the expert draws your entry, SL, and TP lines on the chart. Drag any line to adjust the price level, then click Set to send the order. No more switching to the order ticket window in the middle of a trade.
Live Performance Dashboard
Every executed trade flows automatically into a web dashboard that calculates win rate, R-multiple, profit factor, max drawdown, equity curve, and per-symbol / per-day / per-hour breakdowns. Stop guessing whether your edge is real, see it in numbers.
Built-in Trading Tools Beyond Risk Management
Risk control is the core of the expert. These four tools sit alongside it inside the same MetaTrader attachment and remove the need for separate indicators, screenshot apps, or external journal software.
Trading Sessions Overlay: Tokyo, London, New York
Most setups behave differently depending on the active session. Toggle the Sessions overlay and the expert highlights Tokyo, London, and New York hours directly on the chart, with a separate colour for each. You see at a glance whether your trade is firing during a high-volatility window or during the quiet handover. Combine with our economic calendar for context on which sessions carry high-impact events.
Live Candle Countdown Timer
The Candle Timer shows you how many seconds remain until the current bar closes — directly on the chart, in any timeframe. Useful when you are waiting for a confirmation candle to close before pulling the trigger, instead of staring at price hoping you will catch the moment.
Auto Chart Screenshots at Entry and Exit
The expert captures the chart automatically at two moments that matter most: the moment your order opens, and the moment it closes. Both screenshots get attached to the trade in the dashboard. When you review a winning or losing trade days later, you see exactly what the chart looked like in real time — not what you reconstruct from memory.
Trading Journal That Fills Itself
The single biggest reason traders do not keep a journal is the work of writing one. The expert removes that step entirely. Every executed trade is sent to your Brokersift dashboard with symbol, direction, entry, exit, lot size, profit/loss, gross/commission/swap breakdown, and timestamps — already filled in. You add notes and tags when you review. Read more on our free Trading Journal page.
Every Trade Flows Into the Free Brokersift Trading Journal
The expert is more than a panel: every trade you place through it is automatically logged in the free BrokerSift Trading Journal, a separate web dashboard that calculates profit factor, drawdown, R-multiple, equity curve, and breakdowns by symbol, day, and hour. There is nothing extra to install — activate the EA once and the journal starts filling itself.
Why Forex Traders Use the Money Management Expert
A focused tool for speed, lower pressure, and cleaner trading decisions.
Fast
Click Buy, drag your SL line, click Set. Three actions, one second — no order ticket, no mental math, no missed entries because you were calculating volume on a separate calculator.
Free
The MT5 and MT4 versions are both free to download. There are no in-app purchases or feature locks. One license activates up to five trading accounts so the same key covers your demo, live, and prop firm challenge accounts.
Easy
Risk percentage, partial close levels, and order settings live in a dedicated Tools tab. Set them once and the chart stays clean for the rest of your session.
Safer
Risk per trade is enforced by the expert before the order is placed. If your stop-loss distance changes, the lot size auto-recalculates so you never accidentally over-leverage a setup.

How the Expert Handles Your Trading Workflow
Market orders for instant execution
Buy and Sell Modes With Auto Pending Detection
Market orders for instant execution. Pending orders (Buy Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Limit, Sell Stop) are auto-detected based on where you draw your entry line relative to current price. No need to pick the order type manually.
Three Risk Management Modes
Choose risk in percent of balance, in dollars, or as a fixed lot. The expert recalculates volume every time you move the SL line so the dollar risk stays exactly where you set it — even when spread widens or you change pairs mid-session.
Percentage-Based Staged Exits
Take profit in stages instead of one shot. Hit 50% to close half at the first target, 25% at the second, 10% at the third — then run the remainder with stop-loss already at break-even.
Simple Position Entry With Live Distance and Risk Labels
Drag the entry, SL, and TP lines until they match your plan. The expert shows live distance in points and live dollar risk on each label, so you can see the trade math before you commit by clicking Set.

Training Videos and Tutorials
Add practical lessons that help users understand setup, risk calculation, and trade management.
Beginner: How to Calculate Stop-Loss and Lot Size With the Expert
A practical walk-through: pick a setup on EURUSD, decide where the stop-loss invalidates the idea, and let the expert size the position correctly for your risk percentage.
Platform Workflow: Trading the News With the Economic Calendar
How to read the Brokersift economic calendar, plan around high-impact events, and use the expert's drag-line entry to react when the move actually happens.
Risk Training: Break-Even vs Risk-Free | When to Use Each
The two buttons look similar but solve different problems. Break-even removes the trade's loss potential. Risk-free locks in profit. Pick the right one based on what price has actually done since you entered.
Trade Management: Reading Your Dashboard | What the Numbers Mean
Win rate is half the story. Profit factor, R-multiple, and max drawdown finish it. Walk through your performance dashboard and learn which metrics to act on and which to ignore.
The Real Edge in Forex Trading Is Position Management
Why Money Management Decides the Outcome of Forex Trading
Most retail traders spend their time looking for the perfect entry signal. The traders who actually survive in the market spend their time on three things the entry barely affects: how much they risk per trade, where they place the stop-loss, and how they exit.
A money management expert advisor automates exactly those three jobs. Instead of recalculating lot size in your head every time spread widens or volatility shifts, the expert reads your account balance, your stop-loss distance, and your target risk percentage, then sends an order with the volume that matches. The math is the same math you would do on a calculator — just done in milliseconds, every single trade, with no chance of a typo on the lot field.
What This Expert Does That a Calculator Can't
Most position-size calculators stop at the math. The Money Management Expert handles the full life cycle of a trade:
- Pre-trade. Set risk once — 1% of balance, $50, or a fixed 0.10 lot — and the panel calculates volume for every new setup automatically.
- Order placement. Drag the SL and TP lines on the chart until the setup looks right. The expert recalculates volume and dollar risk on every drag.
- Trade management. Hit BE to move stop-loss to entry. Hit RF to lock in a small profit. Hit 50% / 25% / 10% to close fractions of the position at each target.
- Review. Every trade is automatically logged with chart screenshots. Open the Brokersift dashboard and your live win rate, R-multiple, profit factor, and equity curve are already calculated.
The Tools You Would Otherwise Install Separately
Most traders end up running three or four separate add-ons alongside their order tool: a session overlay indicator, a candle timer, a screenshot capture utility, and an external journal app. Each adds friction. The Money Management Expert puts all of them inside the panel. The result is a single MetaTrader add-on that replaces a stack of smaller ones.
Built for Traders Who Track Results
The Money Management Expert is most useful for discretionary traders who want their attention on the chart, prop firm challenge traders who must respect strict drawdown limits, and traders trying to find their edge through data. The dashboard's per-symbol, per-day, and per-hour breakdowns turn vague feelings into measurable facts.
Free, But Not Stripped
Both the MT4 and MT5 versions of the expert are free. They are not “lite” editions of a paid product — every feature on this page is included. One license key activates up to five MetaTrader accounts. The same key covers your demo, your live account, and any prop firm challenges you run in parallel.
Money Management Expert FAQ
Is the Money Management Expert really free?
Yes. Both the MT4 and MT5 versions are free to download from this page. There are no in-app purchases, time limits, or feature locks. One license key activates the expert on up to five MetaTrader accounts.
Does it work with both MT4 and MT5?
Yes. The MT5 build is the recommended version for modern brokers and prop firms. The MT4 build is maintained for traders whose broker or prop firm is still on MetaTrader 4. Both share the same core risk model and trade-management buttons.
How does the expert calculate lot size?
It reads three values: account balance, distance in points between your entry and stop-loss, and the symbol's tick value. It then computes the exact volume so that hitting the stop-loss loses exactly the percentage (or fixed dollar amount) you set as risk. The math runs live on every drag of the SL line.
Can I use the same license on multiple MetaTrader accounts?
Yes. One license activates up to five MetaTrader accounts. The first five accounts to connect are bound automatically. If you need to free a slot — for example, to move the license from a closed prop challenge to a new one — contact support.
Will it work on prop firm accounts?
Yes. The expert is a manual-trading panel — it never opens trades on its own and never violates risk rules. Prop firms generally treat it like any other discretionary tool. As always, check your specific prop firm's EA policy before live trading.
Does it support hedging and netting accounts?
Yes, on MT5. The MT5 build automatically detects whether your account is hedging or netting and adapts order placement accordingly. MT4 is hedging-only by design.
Which instruments can I trade with it?
Any symbol your broker offers in MetaTrader: forex pairs, indices, gold and silver (XAUUSD / XAGUSD), oil, and crypto CFDs. The lot-size math reads tick value directly from the symbol, so calculations are correct on non-forex instruments without manual adjustment.
What happens if I lose internet during a trade?
The expert only sends orders when you click Set. Once an order is on the broker, the stop-loss and take-profit are stored on the broker's server and execute even if MetaTrader, your computer, or your internet connection goes offline.
How is this different from a normal lot-size calculator?
A calculator gives you a number — you still have to type it into the order ticket and click. The Money Management Expert combines the calculator, the order ticket, the SL/TP lines, the trade-management buttons, and a full performance dashboard into a single panel. From signal to executed and reviewed trade is one workflow instead of five separate steps.
Does it keep a trading journal?
Yes. Every executed trade is automatically pushed to your private dashboard on Brokersift with symbol, direction, entry, exit, stop-loss, take-profit, lot size, gross P/L, commission, swap, net P/L, R-multiple, ticket number, source, and chart screenshots taken at entry and exit. You can add free-form notes and tags to any trade later.
What metrics does the dashboard calculate?
Win rate, total P/L, R-multiple, profit factor, max drawdown, average win/loss, win/loss streaks, daily heat map, equity curve, and four breakdowns (by symbol, day, hour, and R-multiple distribution). The dashboard is the same one used on our free Trading Journal page — see that page for the full feature list and screenshots.
Can I export my trade history?
Yes. The Recent Trades table on the dashboard supports filtering by symbol, time period, side (Buy / Sell), and result (winners / losers). Click Export CSV to download the filtered view — useful for tax filings, prop firm audits, or feeding the data into your own spreadsheets.
Does the expert show trading sessions on the chart?
Yes. Tokyo, London, and New York sessions are built in. Toggle the Sessions tool from the panel and the three sessions appear as coloured zones on your chart.
Are chart screenshots automatic, or do I have to take them?
Automatic. The expert captures the chart at the exact moment a trade opens and again at the exact moment it closes. Both images are attached to the trade in your dashboard.
Where can I get help if something does not work?
Use the contact form on Brokersift, or watch the setup tutorials linked higher on this page. Most issues come from one of two things: WebRequest is not enabled in MetaTrader's Tools → Options → Expert Advisors, or AutoTrading is not turned on in the toolbar.
Stop Calculating Lot Size by Hand
Download the expert, attach it to a chart, and place your next trade with risk pre-calculated, stop-loss drawn on the chart, break-even one click away, and your performance landing in the dashboard automatically.
