Introduction
Based on my experience with MetaTrader 5, a single chart can only support one Expert Advisor, multiple indicators, and a single script at a time. This limitation of having only one Expert Advisor per session highlights the need to create a highly versatile panel that can handle a range of tasks without requiring the EA to be changed on the chart. Below are some of the operations that this panel can be made to perform.- Order Management
- Position Management
- Market Analysis and Data Display
- Graphical and Chart Features
- Risk Management and Reporting etc.
As you can see from the list, there are currently no features incorporated into the existing Admin Panel. Today, our goal is to redesign the panel's logic to support multiple features that were previously missing. I've included an image that illustrates the limitation in MetaTrader 5, where it is not possible to add multiple Expert Advisors to a single chart. In the case presented below, you will be overwriting the currently running Expert Advisor to add a new one.
Expert Advisors cannot share a single chart
Before we begin designing our program to incorporate new features, let's first take a look at the current offerings of the available Admin Panel, from which we'll build upon.
Here’s a diagram illustrating the basic flow, starting from the initialization of the program until all its features are fully realized. The process begins with the login dialog prompt, and upon successful login, the user is prompted for 2FA verification. During this step, a 6-digit verification code is sent to the user’s Telegram account. Once the authentication is successful, the Admin Panel and its features are unlocked for use.
The basic processes in our current Panel
To incorporate the features I have planned, I intend to leverage multiple dialog class panels, similar to how websites work. After logging in, users will be directed to the homepage, which provides an overall summary of everything the website has to offer. On this main page, buttons and links will lead to other panels or features of the platform. Theoretically, using the block image I have inserted below, the offerings of the new panel will be significantly enhanced, giving users a streamlined and dynamic experience.
New Admin Panel
Our previous Admin Panel was simple and primarily focused on communication between the Trading Administrator and the Telegram channel audience, including both groups and channels. As per the design outlined above, it is now much easier to expand our program. We will introduce an Admin Home Panel, which will feature buttons to access other functionalities within their respective panels. What was once known as the Admin Panel will now be referred to as the Communications Panel. Additionally, we will add a separate panel for Trade Management, which will allow the admin to manage trades directly without leaving the chart. This Trade Management Panel will include sub-features such as opening new orders and managing existing ones.
Exploring other possible panel features and Administrator roles
Under Trade management, let's focus on two most important areas outlined below briefly detail for the sake of easily grabbing the expansion process, though we could do for more than that.
Order Management
- Quick Entry and Exit Buttons: Provide options to quickly enter and exit trades, adjust order sizes, or place pending orders with pre-set parameters.
- Order Modification: Allows modifications to Stop Loss (SL), Take Profit (TP), or Trailing Stop levels directly from the panel.
- Order Overview and Filtering: Show open, pending, and closed orders with filters by order type, symbol, or status.
- Quick Position Actions: Buttons for closing all positions, closing specific types (e.g., all longs or shorts), and reversing positions.
- Risk Management Tools: Display live metrics like exposure, margin usage, profit/loss, and account equity.
- Auto-Close Conditions: Options to auto-close positions at specific times, on certain news events, or if market conditions meet certain criteria.
Implementation of MQL5 for Multiple Functionality Interface
We will modify the former Admin Panel, which originally served as the main panel, into a sub-panel titled "Communications Panel" accessible through the Admin Home Panel. This approach will keep all communication-related elements in one place for better organization. Additionally, as previously mentioned, we will introduce a separate panel for Trade Management, which will also be accessible from the Admin Home Panel. To ensure a smooth user experience, we will allow users to easily switch back and forth between the Admin Home Panel and the sub-panels.
Up next, we will focus on developing the code to introduce the new features, starting with the implementation of the Admin Home Panel, followed by the transition of the previous Admin Panel into the Communications Panel. We will also work on the Trade Management Panel, which will allow seamless trade operations directly from the chart. Our goal is to create a smooth user experience with easy navigation between the home panel and the sub-panels, ensuring that all features work efficiently and without conflicts.
Code Development
The previous source code, which amounted to 602 lines, is now about to expand as we incorporate additional features. However, the modification methods we're using are designed to maintain clarity and organization, no matter how long the code becomes.
It’s crucial to avoid altering parts of the code that are functioning well, focusing only on the areas that require updates. The block diagram above illustrates a streamlined approach to incorporating new features.
Assuming you now have a good understanding of the Dialog class and the coordinate system for creating panel windows in MQL5, we will now introduce a new dialog window called the Admin Home Panel. This panel will be displayed during initialization and, after successful password and 2FA verification, will grant access to other sub-windows with different functionalities.
This approach ensures that the program remains well-structured and easy to navigate, while expanding its capabilities.
After including the necessary library files, we begin by declaring our global variables.
// Global variables
CDialog adminHomePanel, tradeManagementPanel, communicationsPanel;
On initialization function (OnInit()) we want the program to first display an authentication prompt by calling ShowAuthenticationPrompt(), and if authentication fails, it prints an error message and exits with INIT_FAILED.
It will attempt to create three dialog panels (Admin Home Panel, Communications Panel, and Trade Management Panel) linked to the current chart using the Create method, checking for success at each step; if any panel creation fails, it prints the corresponding error message and exits.
Next, it sets up controls for the admin home panel through CreateAdminHomeControls() and for other panels with CreateControls(), again ensuring each operation completes successfully.
Finally, it hides all created panels to prevent them from displaying immediately except for the authentication panel for verification process to take place and returns INIT_SUCCEEDED if all operations are successful, indicating that the Expert Advisor is ready to function.
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert initialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int OnInit() { if (!ShowAuthenticationPrompt()) { Print("Authorization failed. Exiting..."); return INIT_FAILED; } if (!adminHomePanel.Create(ChartID(), "Admin Home Panel", 0, 30, 30, 500, 500)) { Print("Failed to create Admin Home Panel"); return INIT_FAILED; } if (!CreateAdminHomeControls()) { Print("Home panel control creation failed"); return INIT_FAILED; } if (!communicationsPanel.Create(ChartID(), "Communications Panel", 0, 30, 30, 500, 500)) { Print("Failed to create Communications panel dialog"); return INIT_FAILED; } if (!CreateControls()) { Print("Control creation failed"); return INIT_FAILED; } if (!tradeManagementPanel.Create(ChartID(), "Trade Management Panel", 0, 30, 30, 500, 500)) { Print("Failed to create Communictions panel dialog"); return INIT_FAILED; } adminHomePanel.Hide(); // Hide home panel by default on initialization communicationsPanel.Hide(); // Hide the Communications Panel tradeManagementPanel.Hide();// Hide the Trade Management Panel return INIT_SUCCEEDED; }
The CreateAdminHomeControls() function is responsible for creating and adding various control buttons to the Admin Home Panel in our Admin Panel expert advisor. It will first retrieve the current chart ID using ChartID() and then attempts to create a "Trade Management Access" button; if creation fails, it prints an error message and returns false. If successful, it sets the button's text and adds it to the adminHomePanel.
This process is repeated for a "Communications Panel Access" button, a minimize button, a maximize button, and a close button, each time checking for successful creation, setting their corresponding display texts, and adding them to the panel. If all buttons are created and added successfully, the function returns true, indicating that the control creation was successful.
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Admin Home Panel controls creation | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ bool CreateAdminHomeControls() { long chart_id = ChartID(); if (!tradeMgmtAccessButton.Create(chart_id, "TradeMgmtAccessButton", 0, 50, 50, 250, 90)) { Print("Failed to create Trade Management Access button"); return false; } tradeMgmtAccessButton.Text("Trade Management Panel"); adminHomePanel.Add(tradeMgmtAccessButton); if (!communicationsPanelAccessButton.Create(chart_id, "CommunicationsPanelAccessButton", 0, 50, 100, 250, 140)) { Print("Failed to create Communications Panel Access button"); return false; } communicationsPanelAccessButton.Text("Communications Panel"); adminHomePanel.Add(communicationsPanelAccessButton); if (!minimizeButton.Create(chart_id, "MinimizeButton", 0, 375, -22, 405, 0)) { Print("Failed to create minimize button"); return false; } minimizeButton.Text("_"); adminHomePanel.Add(minimizeButton); if (!maximizeButton.Create(chart_id, "MaximizeButton", 0, 405, -22, 435, 0)) { Print("Failed to create maximize button"); return false; } maximizeButton.Text("[ ]"); adminHomePanel.Add(maximizeButton); if (!closeButton.Create(chart_id, "CloseButton", 0, 435, -22, 465, 0)) { Print("Failed to create close button"); return false; } closeButton.Text("X"); adminHomePanel.Add(closeButton); return true; }
The other crucial function is the OnChartEvent function designed to handle various chart events in a MetaTrader 5, for user interaction with the graphical elements of the application. When a user clicks on an object on the chart, the function checks the type of the event (CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CLICK) and then identifies which specific object was clicked using the sparam string parameter.
For instance, if the "TradeMgmtAccessButton" is clicked, the function shows the tradeManagementPanel while hiding the adminHomePanel, ensuring that users have a seamless navigation experience within the application. Similar logic is applied for the "CommunicationsPanelAccessButton," which displays the communications panel, and the other buttons handle minimizing, maximizing, or closing the application.
This structured event handling is essential for maintaining an intuitive interface, allowing users to interact with the application efficiently and effectively based on user actions.
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Handle chart events | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnChartEvent(const int id, const long &lparam, const double &dparam, const string &sparam) { if (id == CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CLICK) { if (sparam == "TradeMgmtAccessButton") { tradeManagementPanel.Show(); adminHomePanel.Hide(); } else if (sparam == "CommunicationsPanelAccessButton") { communicationsPanel.Show(); adminHomePanel.Hide(); } else if (sparam == "MinimizeButton") { OnMinimizeButtonClick(); } else if (sparam == "MaximizeButton") { OnMaximizeButtonClick(); } else if (sparam == "CloseButton") { ExpertRemove(); } } { if (sparam == "LoginButton") { OnLoginButtonClick(); } else if (sparam == "CloseAuthButton") { OnCloseAuthButtonClick(); } else if (sparam == "TwoFALoginButton") { OnTwoFALoginButtonClick(); } else if (sparam == "Close2FAButton") { OnClose2FAButtonClick(); } }
For clarity, I have renamed everything that was previously referred to as the Admin Panel to "Communications Panel." The lines of code to be modified are highlighted in red in the snippet below.
// Global variables CDialog adminPanel; //To rename it to communicationsPanel CDialog authentication, twoFactorAuth; CButton sendButton, clearButton, changeFontButton, toggleThemeButton; CButton loginButton, closeAuthButton, twoFALoginButton, close2FAButton; CButton quickMessageButtons[8], minimizeButton, maximizeButton, closeButton; CEdit inputBox, passwordInputBox, twoFACodeInput; CLabel charCounter, passwordPromptLabel, feedbackLabel, twoFAPromptLabel, twoFAFeedbackLabel; bool minimized = false; bool darkTheme = false; int MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH = 4096; string availableFonts[] = { "Arial", "Courier New", "Verdana", "Times New Roman" }; int currentFontIndex = 0; string Password = "2024"; // Hardcoded password string twoFACode = ""; //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert initialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int OnInit() { if (!ShowAuthenticationPrompt()) { Print("Authorization failed.

return INIT_FAILED; } adminPanel.Hide(); Print("Initialization complete"); return INIT_SUCCEEDED; } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Show authentication input dialog | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ bool ShowAuthenticationPrompt() { if (!authentication.Create(ChartID(), "Authentication", 0, 100, 100, 500, 300)) { Print("Failed to create authentication dialog");

Without altering much of the code’s functionality, I’ve simply renamed and edited all references to the former Admin Panel. Below is the combined code, now incorporating new features for initial testing.

This code compilation resulted in the initial testing of the program. Next, I will share an image of the outcome, followed by some feedback and critiques below.
Initial Testing
Here is the initial test of the newly integrated features in the Admin Panel:
Initial Testing of the Admin Panel with multiple features
Overall, our initial launch has been promising, but we encountered an issue where we got stuck in a single window, unable to switch back to the Home Panel to access other features. The solution is clear, we need to add navigation buttons to seamlessly switch between windows and features. Next, we will incorporate the necessary buttons and briefly touch on key features of the Trade Management Panel before conducting our final test for today's development. As you can see, the Trade Management Panel is currently empty, with no features implemented yet.
Inter-Panel Switching
This is a simple and yet important step. We will incorporate buttons in sub panels to simply switch back to the Home Panel. To add a "Home" button for easy navigation back to the main Admin Home Panel, we need to create a dedicated button on each sub-panel (thus, Communications and Trade Management). These buttons will be recognized within the OnChartEvent function, allowing them to trigger the main panel’s visibility while hiding the sub-panel when clicked. This approach involved extending the control creation function in each panel setup to include a "Home" button and updating the OnChartEvent handler to manage the visibility of panels based on user interaction. Follow the steps below to easily understand.
Step 1: We define homeButton for Each Sub-panel.
CButton homeButtonComm, homeButtonTrade; // Home buttons for each sub-panel
Step 2: We create the Home Button in CreateControls for Each Panel.
In our CreateControls function, we will add the following code to create and position the homeButton:
bool CreateControls() { // Create Home Button for Communications Panel if (!homeButtonComm.Create(ChartID(), "HomeButtonComm", 0, 20, 400, 120, 420)) { Print("Failed to create Home button for Communications Panel"); return false; } homeButtonComm.Text("Home"); communicationsPanel.Add(homeButtonComm); // Create Home Button for Trade Management Panel if (!homeButtonTrade.Create(ChartID(), "HomeButtonTrade", 0, 20, 400, 120, 420)) { Print("Failed to create Home button for Trade Management Panel"); return false; } homeButtonTrade.Text("Home"); tradeManagementPanel.Add(homeButtonTrade); return true; }
Step 3: Update OnChartEvent to Handle the Home Button Clicks.
Here we will add cases to handle clicks on each homeButton and switch back to the adminHomePanel when they are clicked.
void OnChartEvent(const int id, const long &lparam, const double &dparam, const string &sparam) { if (id == CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CLICK) { if (sparam == "HomeButtonComm") { adminHomePanel.Show(); communicationsPanel.Hide(); } else if (sparam == "HomeButtonTrade") { adminHomePanel.Show(); tradeManagementPanel.Hide(); } else if (sparam == "TradeMgmtAccessButton") { tradeManagementPanel.Show(); adminHomePanel.Hide(); } else if (sparam == "CommunicationsPanelAccessButton") { communicationsPanel.Show(); adminHomePanel.Hide(); } else if (sparam == "MinimizeButton") { OnMinimizeButtonClick(); } else if (sparam == "MaximizeButton") { OnMaximizeButtonClick(); } else if (sparam == "CloseButton") { ExpertRemove(); } } }
There is still a lot of work to be done on the Trade Management Panel to add more trade-related functionality, aside from just the navigation buttons. For today, let's focus on adding some unique buttons for position management. We will later integrate the logic and necessary classes that will respond to these button clicks.
To start, we will first declare our global buttons.
CButton buyButton, sellButton, closePosButton, modifyPosButton, setSLButton, setTPButton;/// Position management buttons at global level declaration
Next, we will create buttons specifically for trade and position management.
// Create the Trade Management Panel controls bool CreateTradeManagementControls() { long chart_id = ChartID(); // Buy Button if (!buyButton.Create(chart_id, "BuyButton", 0, 50, 50, 150, 90)) { Print("Failed to create Buy button"); return false; } buyButton.Text("Buy"); tradeManagementPanel.Add(buyButton); // Sell Button if (!sellButton.Create(chart_id, "SellButton", 0, 160, 50, 260, 90)) { Print("Failed to create Sell button"); return false; } sellButton.Text("Sell"); tradeManagementPanel.Add(sellButton); // Close Position Button if (!closePosButton.Create(chart_id, "ClosePosButton", 0, 50, 100, 190, 140)) { Print("Failed to create Close Position button"); return false; } closePosButton.Text("Close Position"); tradeManagementPanel.Add(closePosButton); // Modify Position Button if (!modifyPosButton.Create(chart_id, "ModifyPosButton", 0, 200, 100, 340, 140)) { Print("Failed to create Modify Position button"); return false; } modifyPosButton.Text("Modify Position"); tradeManagementPanel.Add(modifyPosButton); // Set Stop-Loss Button if (!setSLButton.Create(chart_id, "SetSLButton", 0, 50, 150, 150, 190)) { Print("Failed to create Set Stop-Loss button"); return false; } setSLButton.Text("Set SL"); tradeManagementPanel.Add(setSLButton); // Set Take-Profit Button if (!setTPButton.Create(chart_id, "SetTPButton", 0, 160, 150, 260, 190)) { Print("Failed to create Set Take-Profit button"); return false; } setTPButton.Text("Set TP"); tradeManagementPanel.Add(setTPButton); return true; }
Finally, here's the complete source code after integrating all the features together.

Testing and Results
Indeed, it is entirely possible to add multiple functionalities to a single Expert Advisor program. We have significantly enhanced our Admin Panel Expert Advisor by incorporating new, exciting features that greatly expand its capabilities. Below is a screen capture showing the outcome after successfully compiling and running the updated code.
Launching Admin Panel V1.21 on MetaTrader 5
Conclusion
In this project, we started with a simple Admin Panel focused on Telegram communication and expanded it into a more comprehensive, user-friendly interface. Now at Version 1.21, our setup includes an Admin Home Panel that serves as the main dashboard, making it easy to access the Communications Panel and the new Trade Management Panel. This approach keeps everything well-organized, secure with 2FA, and easy to navigate. Next, we’ll dive deeper into the Trade Management Panel’s features to keep enhancing trading and communication in one cohesive tool.
For the Home button icon, I simply copied an icon from Telegram and pasted it in. We'll explore more details about icons and design choices in future updates. You are welcome to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
