Discussing the article: "How to Create an Interactive MQL5 Dashboard/Panel Using the Controls Class (Part 1): Setting Up the Panel"
I have recently started learning MQL5 and faced all kinds of difficulties. This article is easy to understand for beginners. Everything is brief and clear. I would like to thank the author for his professionalism. During the study of the article, in addition to learning how to create the Panel, I got some more useful skills for mastering programming. Many thanks to the author! Looking forward to Part 2.

"We now need to make the buttons live and responsive to clicks and automatic updates whenever necessary, which is to be taken care of in the subsequent installments."
The word, installments, alludes to Part 2 which doesn't exist and hasn't existed since Part 1's creation in October of 2024.
If you don't want to wait and you can't code click events, here's another coder's free trading panel:

The word "subsequent" hints at a second part, which does not exist and has not existed since the first part was created in October 2024.

Check out the new article: How to Create an Interactive MQL5 Dashboard/Panel Using the Controls Class (Part 1): Setting Up the Panel.
In this article, we create an interactive trading dashboard using the Controls class in MQL5, designed to streamline trading operations. The panel features a title, navigation buttons for Trade, Close, and Information, and specialized action buttons for executing trades and managing positions. By the end of the article, you will have a foundational panel ready for further enhancements in future installments.
Here, we will illustrate the key components of our interactive GUI panel/dashboard designed for traders. The panel will consist of several essential elements, each serving a specific purpose to enhance trading efficiency. We will focus on three main navigation buttons: Trade, Close, and Information, each equipped with respective action buttons.
The Trade section will feature buttons for trading volume, Price, Stop Loss (SL), and Take Profit (TP), as well as execution buttons for Buy, Sell, and Buy stop among many others. The Close section will include functionalities such as "Close All Profit" and "Close All Pending Orders" among others, ensuring quick access to essential trade management tools. Finally, the Information section will display important trading data, such as account balance, margin levels, and real-time market updates.
To visually represent these elements, we will provide a layout diagram that showcases how these components will be arranged within the panel. This illustration will serve as a roadmap for constructing our GUI in the subsequent sections of the article, guiding us in integrating these elements into a cohesive and user-friendly interface. Here is the complete illustration:
