Introduction
Recovery Manager Pro EA is an automated Expert Advisor available for MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5). Its primary purpose is to manage and recover drawdowns originating from manual trading or other EAs. The system continuously tracks equity levels and automatically intervenes when a predefined drawdown threshold is reached.
Operational Modes
Standby Mode
In Standby Mode, the EA remains inactive until it detects that drawdown has surpassed a user-defined level. At that point, it disables the underperforming advisor, locks the position, and enters Recovery Mode.
Recovery Mode
Once triggered, Recovery Mode initiates a systematic sequence of trades and closures. The EA applies a combination of smart averaging, hedging or locking, and staged partial closures aimed at gradually restoring equity.
Key Features
Smart Averaging and Locking
The EA opens additional positions in the same direction to lower average entry price. When volatile moves occur, it can lock a position by opening an opposing trade to stabilize exposure.
Partial Closures
As recovery progresses, Recovery Manager Pro closes portions of positions as profit becomes available, rather than closing entire orders at once. This method aims to reduce risk while locking in gains.
Trend-Based Logic
The EA uses a proprietary trend indicator (based on moving averages) included with each purchase. This guides recovery actions in line with prevailing market direction.
Configurable Risk Levels
Users can select from multiple risk parameters which adjust trade size, grid spacing, and recovery aggressiveness. The EA then adapts its actions automatically based on this setting.
Compatibility and Symbol Focus
Recovery Manager Pro works on the current trading symbol and can manage either single trades or grids of trades. It monitors manual trades and the activity of other installed EAs.

Workflow Details
Monitoring and Trigger
While in Standby Mode, the EA tracks floating drawdown relative to the user threshold. Once the threshold is exceeded, it disables other EAs, locks current trades, and initiates recovery logic.
Recovery Process
The system places averaged entries in alignment with trend direction. As profit targets are met, it performs partial closures. It dynamically adjusts to price movements, grid spacing, and risk parameters to move toward breakeven or net gain.
Dynamic Risk Management
Trade volumes, number of averaging layers, and closure milestones vary according to user-selected risk level. The EA auto-adjusts based on real-time drawdown depth and market volatility.
Performance and Limitations
- Historical Basis: Performance expectations are derived from backtesting and real account simulations. Results are based on past performance and not a guarantee of future performance.
- Strategy-Dependency: Effectiveness hinges on prevailing market conditions and the behavior of trades triggering recovery.
- Increased Exposure Risk: Use of grid and averaging strategies can enlarge margin requirements and increase exposure, particularly if market moves continue adverse.
- Symbol Variability: Behavior and recovery rates can differ across symbols and timeframes depending on volatility and liquidity.

|---|---|---|---|

Usage Considerations
- Always perform thorough demo testing before live use.
- Customize risk settings according to account size and leverage.
- Avoid overlapping recovery processes—only allow one instance of the EA to manage a drawdown at a time.
- Regularly monitor recovery behavior and adjust configurations if necessary.
