Web Terminal Feature Request

New comment

To make it more convenience using the web terminal, I wish this small update can be considered:

1. Adding parameter ?chart=EURUSD to the url will automatically open chart for EURUSD, even if the symbol is not currently in the Market Watch box.

2. Adding parameter ?buy=EURUSD or ?sell=EURUSD will automatically open the order box with EURUSD selected

This feature could apply to both mt4 and mt5 web terminal.

Ask you broker please to update web terminal in their side and provide the link to you.

Now each broker have to have it own web terminal.

Title: Web Terminal: URL parameter to open a chart for a specific symbol

Please add URL parameters to the web terminal (https://web.metatrader.app/terminal) for opening a given symbol:

  1. ?chart=EURUSD opens a chart for EURUSD, even if the symbol is not in Market Watch. Accepting &period=H1 as well would be useful.
  2. ?buy=EURUSD and ?sell=EURUSD open the order dialog with the symbol preselected.

Use case: bookmarks and links that go straight to a specific instrument, and opening the terminal on a given symbol from external tools and scripts.

Currently the terminal ignores unknown parameters and just restores the last saved session (I tested chart , symbol , pair and other variants). The documented web terminal parameters (login, trade_server, startup_mode, etc.) include nothing for symbols.

This applies to both MT4 and MT5.

Understood, and I’m not asking for an API. This is about manual trading: a URL that opens the chart for a given symbol, the same way login and trade_server already open a given account. It would let a trader keep bookmarks like “EURUSD H1” or “XAUUSD M15” and jump straight to the instrument instead of searching for it each time.
