A Manual and Automated MQL5 Trading Panel with Signal Thresholds

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This document describes a MetaTrader trading panel built with the MasterWindows interface library. It displays a probability-style scale derived from price database analysis and allows a user to submit market orders, close positions, toggle stop-loss placement, and switch automated trading on or off. The example exposes configurable opening and closing thresholds, fixed-lot or equity-based sizing, and a stop-loss toggle.

The signal-generation method is not explained, and the page provides no performance evidence. It explicitly characterizes the panel as a demonstration program unsuitable for live accounts. Users could replace its signal function and add position-handling logic, but doing so would require independent design and evaluation; the displayed probability should not be taken as validated predictive accuracy.

Key ideas

  • The panel supports manual orders and automated trading triggered by its signals.
  • Opening and closing thresholds, lot sizing mode, and stop-loss behavior are configurable.
  • The panel's probability display is based on price data, but its signal-generation method is unspecified.
  • The document identifies the example as unsuitable for live trading and reports no performance results.
