MetaTrader 4 Chart Tools for Risk Sizing and Technical Levels

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This document describes a MetaTrader 4 toolkit that combines chart information, support and resistance drawing, order planning, and chart controls. Its money-management panel lets a trader position entry, stop-loss, and take-profit lines, inspect the resulting risk and reward relationship, and adjust lot size as the lines or chosen risk change. The toolkit also displays spread, swap, candle countdown, and the pip and currency value associated with a chart price.

Other features include alerts when price crosses manually drawn support or resistance, optional notifications and sounds, saved levels, pivot points, a prior-day close line, and a configurable price grid. The changelog records successive additions and fixes, while the descriptions explain the intended interface and use. These are workflow aids rather than a tested trading strategy: the document provides no performance evidence, and it does not establish that its levels or indicator summaries generate profitable signals. Position sizing still depends on the trader's risk assumptions and broker details.

Key ideas

  • The order-planning panel visualizes entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels and recalculates lot size as risk settings or line placement changes.
  • Chart tools display spread, swap, pip value, and price information that can inform trade planning.
  • Support and resistance levels can trigger alerts and be saved for later charts.
  • Pivot points, a prior-day close line, a grid, and indicator summaries provide additional chart context.
  • The document describes software features but supplies no evidence of strategy profitability.
