Lib - EAPADPRO Adding our panel to your Expert Advisor

🚀 What is EAPADPRO?

EAPADPRO is a professional information panel and graphical interface library for MetaTrader Expert Advisors.

It is designed for developers who want to add a modern dashboard to their EA and for traders who want to see real-time information about the current symbol, account, position status, strategy values, Magic number, trading permissions, notifications and useful control buttons directly on the chart.

The interface of any program creates the first impression. Even if the trading algorithm is strong, a weak interface can make the product look unfinished. EAPADPRO helps solve this problem by giving Expert Advisors a clean, structured and informative visual layer.

⭐ Why Developers Use EAPADPRO

• Improve the first impression of your Expert Advisor with a professional GUI
• Show important EA information directly on the chart
• Display input parameters and strategy values in a readable form
• Filter displayed information by Magic number
• Show account, symbol and position data in real time
• Add one-click BUY / SELL controls if needed
• Use notifications for openings, closings, modifications and errors
• Support MT4 and MT5 with a similar integration concept
• Save development time instead of building a full panel from zero
• Make your EA look more complete for users and clients

🎯 The Main Idea: Give the Trader Information

A trader using an Expert Advisor needs more than a smiley icon and logs. The user wants to know what the robot sees, what it is doing, whether trading is allowed, which Magic number is processed, what the current status is, what values are important and whether any errors appeared.

EAPADPRO is built around this idea: have the information. The panel helps transform a “black box” EA into a more transparent, professional and user-friendly product.

🧩 What EAPADPRO Can Show

The exact content depends on how you integrate and configure the library, but the general idea is to show useful real-time information for the current Expert Advisor.

🧠 Why Interface Matters in Expert Advisors

A trading robot is not only an algorithm. It is also a product that a trader must understand and trust.

If the EA has no visual information, the user must search logs, open terminal tabs, check account history and guess what the program is doing. This creates confusion, especially for beginners.

A good interface cannot make a bad strategy profitable, but it can make a good product easier to understand, easier to support and more professional in the eyes of the user.

🛠 How EAPADPRO Is Distributed

EAPADPRO is distributed as a library for MetaTrader. The library can be used in Expert Advisors for both MT4 and MT5.

You copy the required MQL4 or MQL5 folder into your terminal directory, open your Expert Advisor, use the sample file and follow the integration steps.

The original documentation describes the process as a step-by-step integration flow. In practice, the main idea is simple: add the library connection, initialize the panel, update it on ticks and events, and pass your EA information to the panel.

⚙ EAPADPRO Personalization

One of the strongest parts of EAPADPRO is personalization. You can adapt the panel to your Expert Advisor so the user sees your product name, version, author, logo and important strategy values.

📌 Magic Number and Trade Information Logic

EAPADPRO can filter information by Magic number. This is important because many MetaTrader users run several Expert Advisors at the same time or combine manual trades with automated strategies.

🔔 Notifications, Logs and Error Information

EAPADPRO can help make Expert Advisor behavior more transparent by using logs, sound notifications and error information.

The library includes functions for printing messages to logs and for sending information about errors. This is useful for developers because errors become easier to notice and support becomes more structured.

🤖 Telegram and Remote Information

The modern EAPADPRO settings also include Telegram bot-related parameters. This can allow notifications and limited interaction through a Telegram bot, depending on the configured mode and environment.

This is useful when the trader wants to receive information about openings, closings, modifications, errors or screenshots from the terminal.

Programming EAPADPRO in 10 Steps

In the example file you can find the required steps that must be added to your Expert Advisor so that the EAPADPRO panel is displayed correctly.

Step 1: 

Copy the following code to the upper part of your Expert Advisor and change the editable data according to your EAPADPRO personalization settings:

// Step 1 ####################################################################
// This step is required to install the panel into your Expert Advisor
// ###########################################################################
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// Insert this code at the beginning of the EA file
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// Panel copyright. Do not change!
#define EAPADPRODescription ""
#property strict
#ifdef __MQL5__ 
#define MT "MT5" 
#endif
#ifdef __MQL4__ 
#define ORDER_FILLING_FOK 0 
#define MT "MT4" 
#endif
//===========================
// Your program information |
//===========================
// Notification that this is a demo version of your program. It will be displayed in the panel.
bool DEMO=false;
// Version
#define versionea "77.777"
#property version versionea
// BMP LOGO 60x60 
#define BMPLOGO "Images\\EAPADPRO_Images\\YOURLOGO.bmp" 
#resource "\\"+BMPLOGO;
// Icon of your product
#property icon "\\Images\\EAPADPRO_Images\\YOURLOGO.ico" 
// Expert Advisor name
#define defEANAME "EA NAME"
// Your product description 
#property description defEANAME+" for "+MT+" "+EAPADPRODescription 
// Your nickname or name displayed at the bottom of the panel 
#define YourName "Your Nick" 
// Your copyright
#property copyright YourName+" Your Copyright" 
// ###########################################################################

Step 2: 

This replacement is needed only if you want to avoid duplicate output in the journal.

// Step 2 ####################################################################
// This step is required to install the panel into your Expert Advisor
// ###########################################################################
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// Replace Print with EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_PrintToLogs
// Example: EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_PrintToLogs("This print will be written to the journal ");
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// ###########################################################################
 

Step 3: 

To make the MODIFY ONLY option work in your Expert Advisor, add the following code  if(MODIFYONLY)return(false); to your position or order opening function.

// Step 3 ####################################################################
// This step is required to install the panel into your Expert Advisor
// ###########################################################################
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// Add this line to the beginning of your position or order opening function
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// if(MODIFYONLY)return(false);
// ###########################################################################

Step 4: 

The following function sends error information as a PUSH notification to the phone, to email and to the terminal screen. These notifications can later be disabled in the panel settings.

// Step 4 ####################################################################
// This step is required to install the panel into your Expert Advisor
// ###########################################################################
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// Add this function to your error handling logic for the NOTICE section:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_Notice_ErrorCheck(information, function technical information, error number);
// example:
// EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_Notice_ErrorCheck("WRITE INFORMATION HERE","Line: "+__LINE__+" Function: "+__FUNCTION__+"\n"+__FUNCSIG__,GetLastError());
// example:
// Notice_ErrorCheck("ClosePosition ERROR "+OrderTicket(),"Line: "+__LINE__+" Function: "+__FUNCTION__ ,GetLastError());
// ###########################################################################

Step 5: 

Add the following code to your OnInit function and pay attention to the CreateInputs and CreateStrategy lines.

// Step 5 ####################################################################
// This step is required to install the panel into your Expert Advisor
// ###########################################################################
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| add this code to OnInit |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnInit()
 {
 EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_PrintToLogs("This print will be written to the journal ");
// The same code is also added to OnTick:
// Here you can write your external variables in the format: "Name","Value". Up to 10 variables are available.
 CreateInputs("Inputs_TEST1",TimeCurrent(),"Inputs_TEST2","Inputs_TEST2");
// Here you can write your strategy data in the format: "Name","Value". Up to 10 values are available.
 CreateStrategy("Strategy_TEST1",TimeCurrent(),"Strategy_TEST2","Strategy_TEST2");

//============================================================================
// EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO
 EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_OnInit(ShowEaPadPro,-1,-1,"EAPADPRO",DEMO,defEANAME,0,FontName,Notice_Open_NameSound,Notice_Close_NameSound,Notice_Modify_NameSound,
 Notice_Error_NameSound,BMPLOGO,versionea,YourName,true);
// EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO
//============================================================================

 return;
 }

Step 6: 

Add the following code to your OnDeinit function.

// Step 6 ####################################################################
// This step is required to install the panel into your Expert Advisor
// ###########################################################################
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| add this code to OnDeinit |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnDeinit(const int reason)
 {
//============================================================================
// EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO
 EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_OnDeinit(reason);
// EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO
//============================================================================
 }
// ###########################################################################

Step 7: 

Add the following code to your OnTick function and pay attention to the CreateInputs and CreateStrategy lines.

// Step 7 ####################################################################
// This step is required to install the panel into your Expert Advisor
// ###########################################################################
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| add this code to OnTick |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnTick()
 {
//============================================================================
// EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO
 MODIFYONLY=Get_MODIFYONLY();
 STOPTRADING=Get_STOPTRADING();
 EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_OnTick(ShowEaPadPro);

// Copy the same code from OnInit
// Here you can write your external variables in the format: "Name","Value". Up to 10 variables are available.
 CreateInputs("Inputs_TEST1",TimeCurrent(),"Inputs_TEST2","Inputs_TEST2");
// Here you can write your strategy data in the format: "Name","Value". Up to 10 values are available.
 CreateStrategy("Strategy_TEST1",TimeCurrent(),"Strategy_TEST2","Strategy_TEST2");

// EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO
//============================================================================
 }

Step 8: 

Add the following code to your OnTrade function. If your EA does not have an OnTrade function, copy the code below without changes:

// Step 8 ####################################################################
// This step is required to install the panel into your Expert Advisor
// ###########################################################################
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| add this code to OnTrade or create it if it does not exist |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnTrade()
 {
//============================================================================
// EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO
 EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_OnTrade(ShowEaPadPro);
// EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO
//============================================================================
 }
// ###########################################################################

Step 9: 

Add the following code to your OnChartEvent function. If your EA does not have an OnChartEvent function, copy the code below without changes:

// Step 9 ####################################################################
// This step is required to install the panel into your Expert Advisor
// ###########################################################################
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| add this code to OnChartEvent or create it if it does not exist |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnChartEvent(const int id,const long &lparam,const double &dparam,const string &sparam)
 {
//============================================================================
// EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO
 EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_OnChartEvent(id,lparam,dparam,sparam,ShowEaPadPro);
// EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO
//============================================================================
 }
// ###########################################################################

Step 10: 

The final programming step: copy the complete code below into your Expert Advisor.

// Step 10 ####################################################################
