Using a Trading Information Panel and Fractal Trend Context

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

The document describes an information panel for displaying trading and market measures, including spread, average true range, and swap. Users can adjust the panel’s screen position, choose whether it remains above other chart objects, and hide information fields they do not need.

It also describes a fractal-based trend indication. The indicator compares the current price with the most recent high and low fractal points on each timeframe, giving a compact view of price location relative to those reference levels. The text explains display options and the indicator’s basic interpretation, but it provides no entry or exit rules, performance evidence, or guidance on how to combine the readings with a strategy. It should therefore be understood as a chart information aid rather than a tested trading system.

Key ideas

  • The panel can display spread, average true range, and swap information.
  • Users can reposition the panel and hide fields they do not need.
  • The fractal trend reading compares price with recent high and low fractal points by timeframe.
  • The document provides no trading rules or performance evidence for the indicator.
