Signalator Trading Suite MT5: Features and Options by Module

25 October 2026, 10:16

Pavel Tsimailo

This article is the complete feature and settings reference for Signalator Trading Suite MT5. It describes the controls and options available in each module and includes the full EA Input catalogue.

For screenshots, setup instructions and practical examples, see the illustrated user manual.

Companion article: Illustrated Guide and Practical Workflows.

Use this reference to find what a module supports, what its controls change and which settings belong together. Full and Compact expose the same principal workflows through different layouts; Tiny is a reduced workspace. A control can be unavailable when it does not apply to the selected chart, target or request.

This reference describes the current public workspace. The final catalogue preserves the exact configurable EA Input names and source defaults. Saved panel choices can override their initial seed values. The illustrated companion explains the workflows and shows the screenshots.

How to use this reference

Modules: Summary; Trade; Manage; Protect; Symbol; Charts; Analysis; Data; Report; Notify; Settings; Help.; Organizes the working areas.
Layout: Full / Compact / Tiny.; Changes presentation and the available simplified controls.
Module behavior: Switch view / Dashboard.; One principal module or several open module panels.
Panel placement: Lock / Unlock; drag headers; Reset positions; arrange/columns.; Changes placement rather than execution permissions.
Header / account context: Account indicator and current high-level P/L, equity, trade/volume information.; Quick context; the selected module provides its detailed scope.
Language: English / Spanish / Russian / Chinese.; Main interface language.
Panel theme: Dark / Light / Dune.; Panel appearance, separate from chart presets.
UI scale: Auto and percentage presets.; Adapts control size to the workspace.

2. Summary

Overview: Floating P/L; balance; equity; open-position count; total lots; missing SL/TP counts.; Account overview.
Exposure - Open positions: Position count, total lots, net lots, buy/sell counts and volumes, floating result, symbols traded, symbol exposure.; Open exposure rather than a new-order request.
Exposure - Pending orders: Pending-order exposure and its separate summary.; Pending instructions are separated from positions.
Risk: Defined SL/TP outcomes, missing/defined protection counts, pending count, symbol count and active-plan risk.; An undefined level does not represent a zero-risk outcome.
Plan: Trading symbol/spread/trading state; side/entry, lot, risk mode, risk/reward, RR, SL/TP distances and planned entry/SL/TP.; Describes the proposed next order.
Access: Connection, account/terminal/EA trading permissions and execution readiness information.; Text status information; no separate illustration is required.

3. Trade - order preparation

Symbol strip / browser: Broker instruments, previous/next and further selection controls.; Instrument used by the next plan.
Direction: Buy / Sell.; Planned order side.
Order family: Market / Limit / Stop.; The supported public entry families.
Entry: Market-derived or editable pending price; Reset.; Planned/requested entry.
Size: Fixed lot; Fixed money; % Balance; % Equity; Lot per balance.; Volume entry/calculation basis.
Protection usage: SL+TP / SL / TP / None.; Which protection levels are included.
SL and TP: Editable price values with adjustment controls.; Planned broker protection prices.
Protection movement: Move with entry / Fixed prices.; Preserve distances or retain entered price levels as entry changes.
RR lock: ON/OFF; editable ratio; -/+.; Link planned reward to planned risk.
Profile: Scalp / Intraday / Swing / Custom.; Select preset planning parameters.
Pending expiry: GTC / Day / Minutes, with an entered minute lifetime.; Pending-order lifetime; broker support applies.
Request preview: Order side/family, instrument, size, entry, protection, risk/reward, RR, expiry, check/status and last execution result.; Final review before/after submission.
Draft chart lines: Entry, SL and TP visibility and supported dragging.; Planning aids in the compatible chart context.
Execution setup: Feature enabled, optional arm requirement, deviation and magic number.; Permission/identification settings, separate from layout lock.

A valid stop-loss distance is required for risk-based lot calculation. The final request is constrained by symbol tick size, volume step/min/max, broker permissions and Protect. A requested RR is a target for the plan; inspect the resulting prices and calculated RR.

4. Manage - targets and manual actions

Target mode: Ticket / Group filters.; Explicit selection or filtered scope.
Trade universe: Positions / Pending only / Positions + pending; Both in Full.; Select eligible trade categories.
Tickets: Multi-select dropdown and selected summary.; Choose individual targets; inspect selected positions/orders/lots.
Market / symbol: Specific broker symbol or the available all-symbol scope.; Narrow a filtered group.
Owner: Panel / Manual / Other / All.; Trade-origin filtering.
Direction: Buy / Sell / Both.; Directional filtering.
P/L: All / Profit / Loss.; Limit eligible result states.
SL/TP filter: SL / TP / All controls.; Apply the selected protection filter; verify affected counts.
Snapshot: Symbol, open positions and floating P/L.; Overview can differ from the action-filtered count.
Close: Close scoped positions.; Position-closing request.
Delete: Delete scoped pending orders.; Pending-order cancellation request.
Close+Del: Combined close/delete with separate counts.; Affects both selected categories.
Manual partial close: Lot / %; editable amount; Partial action.; Reduce eligible open-position volume.
Set protection: SL price / Set SL; TP price / Set TP; Set SL+TP.; Update selected broker protection.

5. Manage - automatic engines

Trail SL master: ON/OFF.; Enable/disable repeated trailing checks for the active target.
Trailing mode: Tighten / Follow price.; Tighten steps an existing SL; Follow price calculates a market-relative candidate and skips a change that would loosen an existing tighter stop.
Trail behind: Editable distance.; Candidate-stop distance.
Check every: Editable check interval.; Recheck cadence.
Start after: Condition ON/OFF and movement threshold.; Delay activation until the specified movement condition.
Trailing feedback: Start / SL, Readiness, Last.; Reference and latest result.

Partial TP feedback: Levels, Readiness, Last.; Configured thresholds and current engine state.
Shared active target: The current Manage ticket/group universe and filters.; Auto engines use this target even when another module is visible.

Tighten and Follow price are different policies. Confirm the candidate stop before relying on the chosen mode. Partial quantities must satisfy broker volume rules. Buy thresholds use Bid; sell thresholds use Ask. Neither hiding the panel nor locking its layout stops an enabled engine.

6. Protect - Guards and Trading Gate

Max open: Configured count / disabled limit.; Open-position capacity.
Max per symbol: Configured count / disabled limit.; Per-symbol position capacity.
Max pending: Configured count / disabled limit.; Pending-order capacity.

Days / Hours: Weekday and hourly selection.; Allowed entry windows.
Session presets: Asia 00-09; London 07-16; New York preset as displayed.; Quick hour selections on the chosen clock, not a live exchange calendar.
Now / status: Current clock, exposure and permission state.; Explain the current blocking/allowed result.

7. Protect - period limits, hard stop and advanced scope

Period choices: Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Symbol.; Selected period/scope to monitor.
Period master: ON/OFF per rule.; Enable that rule.
Money limits: Loss money / target money.; Configured period P/L bounds.
Trade limit: Maximum trades.; Configured period trade-count bound.
Now: Current P/L/trade count and state.; Live evaluation of that rule.

Hard-stop master: ON/OFF.; Account drawdown-protection state.
Hard-stop threshold: Drawdown percentage.; Distance from the protected peak.
Hard-stop feedback: Peak, drawdown, exposure, status.; Account-wide protection context.
Hard-stop reset: Explicit reset control.; Reset is separate from changing appearance or hiding the panel.
Initial protected balance: 0 = automatic, or an entered starting baseline.; Seed for a new hard-stop baseline; reset separately.
Hard-stop external re-entry: Alert only / Auto close-delete.; Response when external exposure reappears.
Period reset hour: Broker-time hour for the selected rule.; Define the period boundary.
Include floating P/L: ON/OFF per eligible rule.; Whether monitored floating results join the calculation.
Percentage limits: Maximum loss % / profit target %.; 0 disables those percentage bounds.
Symbol protection symbol: Entered symbol; empty uses chart as documented.; Choose the symbol-limited rule context.
Warning threshold: Warning percentage.; Warn before the full limit condition.
Lock until next period: ON/OFF.; Keep a triggered period lock until its boundary.
Period external re-entry: Alert only / Re-apply action.; Respond using the configured period policy.

Session protection

Enabled / hours: ON/OFF; start hour; end hour including 24 for midnight. Equal hours mean all day; overnight windows are supported.
Scope: Account; Symbol; Source; EA/Magic; Position context as shown by the selector. A position scope without a valid ticket is not a usable target.
Filters: Symbol, source, magic number and Both/Buy/Sell.
Included targets: Positions and/or pending orders.
Outside-session action: Configured monitor/warn/block/close-type response as available.

Trade-source attribution and floating-P/L attribution are distinct. Read a scope warning instead of assuming that every historical result or current position can always be assigned to a selected source. Account Hard Stop is intentionally broader than a chart-specific plan.

Prices: Bid, Ask, spread and current quote context.
Precision / value: Digits, point, tick size and tick value.

Strategy Tester export-only workflow

Select Trading Suite in MT5 Strategy Tester and choose the symbol, date interval and modeling mode.
Keep TesterExportEnabled enabled, use a single run and disable optimization.
Choose tick output or completed-bar output and the desired bar timeframe.
Set the output folder/Common-folder choice and start the run.
Read the tester log's output path and completion result. Treat a .partial file as incomplete.

Tester output is marked tester_replay and follows the selected tester modeling mode. This build does not turn the tester session into a live trading/backtesting workspace. Test-data provenance matters when comparing it with a historical Real ticks export.

13. Report - performance and trading records

Overview: Today / Week / Month / All time; net profit; realized maximum drawdown; observed floating drawdown; closed-trade count; wins/losses/breakeven; win rate.
Symbols: Period selector, symbol rows, paging; net P/L, trade count, wins/losses/breakeven and drawdown.
Export period: Today / Week / Month / N days / All time / Custom.
Custom dates: From / To; To is exclusive.
Symbol filter: All symbols / attached-chart symbol.
Side: Both / Buy / Sell.
Included records: Trading deals; Open positions now; Pending orders now; Account snapshot.
Export action: Export CSV / Export + notify; completed status, row count and file path.
Record categories: deal, trading_fee where present, open_position, pending_order and account_snapshot.
CSV fields: Record type, account/server/currency, symbol, ticket/position ID, broker time, type/entry, volume, price, SL/TP, gross result, commission/swap/fee, net result, magic/comment, requested interval, generated time and account snapshot fields.
Telegram page: Delivery/readiness summary and TEXT / SHOT / REPORT test actions.
Schedule: ON/OFF; Every-hours interval; Export only / Export + notify; current export range; next/status fields; Run now.

Current positions/orders and an account snapshot are current-state records, not historical closed-trade rows. The report range is applied to historical deals. Floating drawdown is an observed monitor value; read its coverage/update state. A schedule or an explicit report test has its own workflow and is not controlled solely by the new-event master switch.

14. Notify - shared event settings and destinations

Automatic alerts: ON/OFF master for new selected events.
Settings scope: Shared account/server choices across charts in this terminal, with runtime persistence enabled.
Event symbol scope: All account symbols; switching the attached chart/timeframe does not restore chart-specific toggles.
Broker activity: Trade entries; exits/partial exits; pending created; pending modified; cancelled/expired; SL/TP changes.
Panel events: Trade requests; management; protection events.
Panel result filters: Blocked / Failed / Successful; these filters do not replace the broker-event selections.
Connection: Lost/restored connection alerts and configured disconnection delay.

Trade-event Details: Readable protection summary: no SL/TP, SL only, TP only or SL + TP.
Chart photo: ON/OFF for Telegram.
Matching symbol: Capture the attached chart for an eligible matching-symbol alert.
Mismatched symbol: Send the text alert with an explanation naming the alert symbol and chart symbol; omit the unrelated photo.
Capture timing / fallback: Capture at deferred delivery; text fallback if an eligible capture fails.
Preview: Sample formatting only; not proof of a live order or delivery.

Telegram bot creation and chat-ID setup are covered separately in our Telegram setup guide. Add https://api.telegram.org to the MT5 allowed WebRequest addresses, then verify delivery with a test. A channel test and Automatic alerts are separate controls.

Custom notification placeholders supported by the formatter: {ACTION} , {GROUP} , {STATUS} , {STATUS_UPPER} , {SYMBOL} , {TIMEFRAME} , {CHART} , {SIDE} , {ORDER_TYPE} , {VOLUME} , {PRICE} , {SL} , {TP} , {LEVELS} , {TRADE_LINE} , {RESULT} , {SCOPE} , {AFFECTED_POS} , {AFFECTED_LOTS} , {ACCOUNT} , {DETAILS} .

16. Storage, units and working boundaries

Local output: The running terminal's data folder > MQL5/Files.
Common output: The terminal Common data location > Files; shared by terminals using that Common location.
Report default folder: Signalator_TM_Reports, local by default.
Collector default folder: Signalator_TM_Data, Common by default.
Tester default folder: Signalator_TM_Data/Tester, Common by default.
Chart screenshots: Signalator_TM_screenshots by default in the terminal file sandbox.
Presets: Signalator_TM_Presets by default; local/Common choice is configurable.
Broker points: Symbol-specific point increments; used explicitly by point-labelled controls.
Normalized trade distance: Product distance scale configured by TradeDistanceUnit and NormalizedPipsPerPercent.
Raw price units: Direct quote-price differences, used by relevant chart construction and EQH/EQL rule fields.
Account money: Amounts expressed in account currency, not a price-distance unit.
Clock: Historical market data uses broker timestamps; other clocks are identified by their page/control.

18. How to use this reference

For an action, read its current scope and preview first. For an unavailable control, check chart/target compatibility. For a persisted setting, inspect the panel's effective state rather than relying only on a source default. For an export, inspect record type and timestamps. For an alert, distinguish monitoring, formatting, capture and delivery.

For illustrated steps, examples and screenshots, return to the companion guide. Telegram bot and chat setup remain in the existing Telegram article.
