3. Dashboard Overview

The LOCKERZ dashboard provides a view of account status, challenge progress, and the current Daily Setup. It is designed to scale to the available chart size and screen resolution.

The main status area may show the overall EA status (ARMED, STANDBY, ACTIVE, and similar states), trend bias (UP, DOWN, or NEUTRAL), market state, and Daily P&L.

Other metrics include Balance, Equity, starting Capital, Net Profit versus Capital, and Growth percentage.

Progress bars visualize Equity versus Capital, Growth versus Capital, Drawdown from Peak, and account Maximum Drawdown. Additional information can include spread, news-event count, next high-impact event countdown, and Daily Setup details.

4. Dashboard Buttons — Detailed Guide

Dashboard buttons are toggles. A green border or bright text generally indicates ON, while gray generally indicates OFF. Tap or click once to change a button's state. Changes are saved per account, according to the supplied manual.

PAUSE OFF / ON

When ON, the EA pauses new entries while continuing to manage existing positions. This can be useful for temporary breaks or manual intervention.

News Trading ON / OFF

ON lifts the EA's news restrictions. OFF activates the news guard, which may block new entries and close existing trades on the symbol approximately 3.5 minutes before a restricted high-impact release, as described in the manual.

Verify the actual EA behavior and your firm's current rules before trading.

Weekend OFF / ON

ON activates the Weekend Guard. The EA is designed to flatten positions before Friday market close and wait after Monday open according to configured hours.

Asian OFF / ON

When ON, new entries are restricted to the Asian session window. The manual lists the default window as 00:00–09:00 GMT.

US OFF / ON

When ON, new entries are restricted to the US session window. The manual lists the default window as 13:00–22:00 GMT.

Profirms ON / OFF

This is the master switch for the prop-firm challenge rules. When ON, the EA applies the selected profile's configured daily loss, maximum loss, profit target, floating drawdown, and related safety buffers.

Available profiles may include FTMO Standard 1-Step, FTMO Standard 2-Step, Swing, and FundedNext presets. Confirm the correct profile before trading.

Forex Pair ON / OFF Controls
  • EURUSD: enables or disables new entries.
  • USDJPY: enables or disables new entries.
  • GBPUSD: enables or disables new entries.
  • AUDUSD: enables or disables new entries.
  • USDCAD: enables or disables new entries.
  • USDCHF: enables or disables new entries.

XAUUSD is the primary symbol and does not have an ON/OFF button in the supplied manual. Turning a supported Forex pair OFF blocks new entries for that pair; existing positions continue to be managed.

5. Daily Setup Panel

The lower section of the dashboard displays the currently loaded Daily Setup. Setups are manually prepared and loaded automatically by the EA.

  • Pair name and number of legs, such as USDJPY 3/7.
  • Setup note or name and expiry date and time.
  • No-trade or dead zone, if defined.
  • Leg side: SHORT or LONG.
  • Leg state: WAITING, ARMED, LIVE, DONE, or INVALID.
  • Entry mode: SWEEP, RETEST, REJECT, BOS, or FVG.
  • Entry zone and Stop Loss level.
  • Hold or Change messages if a leg becomes invalid on a higher-timeframe close.

When several pairs have active setups, the panel may rotate through them every few seconds. Zones, Stop Loss, Invalidation, and Take Profit levels may also appear directly on the chart.

6. Risk Management & Prop-Firm Rules

When the Profirms button is ON, LOCKERZ applies the selected challenge profile's configured protections. These may include:

  • Daily Loss Limit: a configurable safety buffer intended to close positions before the official limit is reached.
  • Maximum Loss: static or trailing limits, depending on the firm and stage.
  • Profit Target: a configured target and buffer.
  • Floating Drawdown / Open Risk: monitoring according to the selected configuration.
  • News restrictions: restrictions when the News Trading button is OFF.
  • Weekend restrictions: controls where applicable.

Lot sizing can use Auto Lot, based on risk percentage and Stop Loss distance, or a fixed lot. A hard maximum lot may also be configured. According to the manual, each entry receives a hard server-side Take Profit at TP3.

Version 2.17 also includes changes to Max DD / Peak tracking so that saved values are kept separately by account, according to the supplied product documentation.

Risk controls can reduce certain risks but cannot eliminate slippage, gaps, execution problems, connectivity failures, broker differences, or all losses. Do not assume that an EA can guarantee compliance with every prop firm's rules.

7. Best Practices & Tips

  • Verify the Daily Setup expiry and no-trade zone before the market opens.
  • Keep News Trading OFF and Weekend ON, or use the settings recommended by your prop firm.
  • Use pair ON/OFF controls to focus on the instruments you intend to trade.
  • Monitor the progress bars to understand how close the account is to its configured daily or overall limits.
  • After a terminal restart or VPS migration, wait for the “sync done” status before expecting new entries.
  • Consider a stable VPS and reliable internet connection for continuous operation.
  • Contact the developer if you need setup assistance or custom challenge profiles.
