I have a simple answer to this: HT is not a clone of MT terminal. For example, you will be very surprised by the swaps that will soon appear in it.
Personally, I could not get used to Margin Level, which often shows fairy-like percentages like 10500%. Percentages greater than 100% are not intuitive. People perceive a clear scale from 0 to 100, so Margin in %, and zero to a hundred.
Besides, imho, it is much more convenient to know that the current depot load is, for example, 12% of the maximum possible than to smoke what is 803%.
In the future we may have the Shoulder. But unfortunately the total line is limited by symbols, so it will be difficult to cram the leverage into it.
In the exchange industry, by the way, the concepts are somewhat different from MT.
No, opening with MT quick panel is not suitable - it is only for the current instrument, and changing an instrument on the chart with HT is 16 seconds (25K trades).
Have to think about opening a new hedge position via HT.
What information is in that Margin you have? How do we know how far we are from Stopout, which is determined by Margin Level as it is done in MT4?
Stop-out in it is 100%. You get to a hundred, you get a stop-out.
Okay, if the public deflects me - so be it, I will change the margin to the classic margin level. But two votes are not enough yet ;)
And in general, judging by the arguments, there is a need for a custom summary. So that everyone with HedgeTerminalAPI could write his own summury and display even the moon phase on it.
Later, let it be cool. For now, let it be seconds.)
O.k. We'll make it....
Done:

Don't go overboard )
Let it be standard and optionally - custom, author's.
It is unlikely to come up with a completely universal panel, you can't please everyone.
It would be better to load and draw a panel (empty, a little shaded), and show loading in the centre with a progress_bar (there are ready-made ones in the base).
Or at least just centre the progress_bar, so that you don't have to look for a small comment.
Okay. But later. As far as possible. Now API will be released - bugs will appear, we will have to focus on them, then - decorations. For now, the current progress bar is really not great, I don't like it myself, but at least it's something.
Don't customise, just leave the user entered value.
In MT it is also like this - the history shows exactly the SL and TP that were there, but the closing price can be worse or better.
Good. I will think over how to do it. Most likely it is not very difficult.
Let the chrome panel be an example:
Not yet. It's going to take a lot of public outcry.
Maybe just a single line with the last post?
In the same wide bar at the top or in the "status bar" at the bottom.
I'll think about it. In any case, something very simple will be in the closest approximation.

I have another opinion. Give people a constructor and let them mould whatever they want. There is already a lot of things, and the HT architecture includes them. For example, you can change the set of columns or insert new ones. If they want to add a column of maximum drawdown for each position - please, if they want profit in points - please. Their own summary - no problem.
I.e. go not from the fact that "I know better what you need", but from the fact that "keep the constructor and build whatever you want".

Stop out is 100 per cent. You get to 100, you get a stop-out.
That's not true. Just because 100% margin is used doesn't mean a stop out has arrived.
