Displaying Multiple Currency and Commodity Charts with a Chart Indicator

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document describes an indicator that displays up to eight CrossIndex candlestick charts within the current chart. Users can choose which panels to show, specify a symbol for each, and set whether each chart should be inverted. The example configuration includes several major currency pairs and gold, allowing a trader to view multiple markets together in one workspace.

The indicator is a display aid rather than an analytical or trading method: it performs no calculations of its own and provides no signals, forecasts, or execution logic. It depends on the separate CrossIndex indicator being installed in the terminal’s indicators folder. The document includes configuration parameters but gives no evidence about trading performance or guidance on interpreting relationships among the displayed instruments.

Key ideas

  • The indicator can place up to eight instrument charts inside the current chart.
  • Each chart can be enabled or hidden, assigned a symbol, and optionally inverted.
  • The sample setup includes currency pairs and gold.
  • The tool only displays charts and does not calculate signals or trading metrics.
  • It requires the separate CrossIndex indicator to be installed.
