Real-Time Buy and Sell Deal Counts by Symbol

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This indicator displays the number of deals for each symbol in real time, with separate lines for sell and buy activity. The document identifies the sell series as red and the buy series as blue, offering a compact way to monitor deal counts by direction.

The indicator can use the chart’s available bars as its history when the configured buffer history size is zero. The document notes that this setting may affect operating speed, but it does not explain how deals are defined, what data source is used, or whether counts represent executed volume or transaction frequency. It provides no signal rules, empirical analysis, or evidence that the display predicts price movements, so its described value is informational rather than a tested trading method.

Key ideas

  • The indicator reports deal counts by symbol in real time.
  • Separate plotted lines distinguish sell deals from buy deals.
  • A zero history-buffer size makes the indicator use the chart’s available bars.
  • Using all chart history may affect operating speed.
  • The document gives no predictive rules or performance evidence.
