GaoDong Fully Automatic Risk Control MT4 EA protects accounts with automated risk shutdown

This detailed 2026 review evaluates GaoDong Fully Automatic Risk Control MT4 EA performance through hands-on testing and independent analysis of live-account behavior. The EA is purpose-built as an account profit and loss killer that operates outside of strategy execution: it watches aggregate floating profit and loss and enforces pre-set thresholds to close positions or stop trading at the account level. In this review the emphasis is on transparency of responses, timing of closures and how the tool affects net returns when paired with scalpers, hedgers, grid EAs and HFT routines. What makes GaoDong Fully Automatic Risk Control MT4 EA unique is its singular focus on account-level defense rather than signal generation. The algorithm continuously sums floating P/L across all symbols and applies user-defined rules that trigger instant closures, delayed mass exits, or account disablement. It logs each action, records pre-closure P/L and can be configured to ignore certain ticket types. The EA handles volatile market conditions, broker spreads and slippage by allowing small delay windows and partial close options, which helps during news spikes. Expected performance characteristics center on preservation of capital rather than maximizing returns. When calibrated conservatively, the EA materially reduces maximum floating drawdown events and limits tail risk. Users should expect a trade-off: fewer catastrophic losses at the cost of some early stops on recoverable moves. Zhengdong Gao designed the system for MT4 compatibility, reliable execution, and clear logging so traders can quantify the protection benefits against opportunity costs.
