1. Global Start & End Times
2. Day-specific activation windows (Monday–Sunday)

This is especially helpful for avoiding low-liquidity hours or volatile news periods.

Configuration Options:

1. Max Daily/Weekly Profit
2. Max Daily/Weekly Loss
3. Unit Mode: Percentage / Pips / USD

This tab safeguards the account against psychological errors following streaks or sudden market volatility.
4. Symbol Restriction Tab
With this feature, you can whitelist trading instruments, allowing the EA to operate only on specific symbols. This enhances focus and ensures trades are executed within the scope of your strategy.

Limiting exposure to only vetted assets is essential in structured prop trading strategies.
5. Trade Overview Tab
The Trades tab gives a real-time snapshot of your account’s status—including current balance, profit/loss, and sequences of wins or losses.
Additionally, by enabling the DATA TAB, you can see an on-screen summary of this information in the bottom-left corner of your chart—non-intrusive and accessible.

1. Start of Day/Week Balance
2. Day/Week PnL

6. TP/SL Enforcement Tab
Here you can enforce mandatory stop loss and take profit values for every trade. If omitted, the EA can alert you after a specified time, or even restrict trade execution.
You can also set allowable movement limits for SL and TP to minimize emotional interference after trade placement.
Main Controls:

1. Mandatory SL/TP Activation
2. Alert Timers
3. Max SL/TP Adjustment Ranges

This ensures discipline in risk-to-reward management and prevents random changes that could violate prop firm rules.
7. News Filter Tab
This intelligent feature lets you limit trade activity around high-impact news events. Choose when to start blocking trades before and after news releases across major instruments.
Features Include:

1. News Filtering Timeframe (before/after event)
