Monitoring Account Equity Drawdown and Daily Trading Risk in MT5

Summary

This MT5 monitoring indicator summarizes account-level risk without placing or managing trades. It compares balance with equity to display current drawdown as both a percentage and a currency amount, and tracks peak equity to measure equity drawdown over time. It also reports maximum drawdown and daily profit, loss, and drawdown.

The monitor additionally displays floating profit or loss and the number of open positions. Configurable thresholds classify risk into levels from low to critical, with a visual bar for quick inspection. The description explains the displayed metrics but gives no calculation details, threshold values, validation, or evidence that the classifications improve risk decisions; users would need to assess how its settings fit their account and strategy.
