MT5 Trading Panel for Preset Stops, Targets, and Position Size

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This document describes a MetaTrader 5 expert advisor that lets a trader set stop-loss and take-profit distances in pips, specify trade count and position size, and choose an instrument before placing orders. The stated purpose is to make order entry faster while attaching risk and profit levels as part of the trading workflow. It is presented as a tool that could be used across scalping, day trading, swing trading, or longer-term investing, rather than as a strategy with defined entry signals.

The author explains that the panel was developed after difficulties placing stops and targets quickly during volatile markets, including computer and internet failures around order entry. The document provides no performance tests, execution details, or full parameter descriptions; it says there are five inputs but does not enumerate them. Traders would need to verify how the EA handles rejected orders, slippage, disconnections, and broker-specific pip or volume conventions before relying on it.

Key ideas

  • The panel allows traders to predefine stop-loss and take-profit distances in pips.
  • Users can configure trade count, position size, and the instrument to trade.
  • The tool is intended to speed up order placement and attach exits at entry.
  • The document gives no evidence of strategy performance or detailed failure-handling behavior.
