MT5 Chart Customization and One-Click Position Management

Summary

This document describes an MT5 expert advisor designed as a chart interface and quick-trading layer. It replaces default chart clutter with larger custom price and time labels, adds buy and sell controls with editable volume, and displays open positions as plates positioned at their entry prices. Each plate shows signed size and live profit or loss including swap and commission; positions at the same level are grouped, and a control closes the tickets in that group. The interface also includes an hourly trend filter, session VWAP with deviation bands, previous-close and current-open markers, and keyboard shortcuts for chart navigation and zoom.

The author describes implementation choices intended to keep redrawing responsive, including cached chart geometry, reused label objects, and a dirty-checking paint loop. These are design claims rather than independently measured benchmarks. The EA is described as largely untested, and the document does not provide source code, trading performance, or validation of the indicators. It is best read as a feature and implementation overview for an MT5 front end, not as a trading strategy.

Key ideas

• The EA customizes chart scales and hides several default MT5 display elements.
• Its trading panel places buy and sell controls alongside an editable volume field.
• Open positions are grouped by entry price and show live profit or loss, with a grouped close control.
• The EA adds trend, VWAP, previous-close, and today-open chart references.
• The author says the tool is mostly untested and gives no trading results.
