Monitoring Daily Trading Performance and Risk in MT5

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This product description outlines an MT5 indicator for tracking trading performance over the current broker day. It reports closed profits and losses, net results, floating profit or loss, and combined daily performance. The dashboard also includes daily return, trade count, win rate, and outcome statistics, updating automatically. Users can set a daily profit target and loss limit, then view progress and status messages when a target or limit is reached.

Symbol and magic number filters let traders narrow the displayed figures to selected instruments or strategies. The indicator is described as a monitoring and analysis tool; it does not open or manage trades. The page explains the metrics and filtering features but supplies no validation of their accuracy, sample results, or guidance for setting suitable thresholds. It can organize a trader's daily review, but the description alone does not show that using the dashboard improves performance or controls risk.

Key ideas

  • The indicator summarizes closed and floating profit or loss for the broker's current trading day.
  • It displays daily return, trade count, win rate, and trade outcomes in an updating dashboard.
  • Users can compare results with configurable daily profit targets and loss limits.
  • Symbol and magic number filters help isolate performance by instrument or strategy.
  • The tool monitors trades but does not place or manage them.
