Forum on trading, automated trading systems and testing trading strategies

MetaQuotes has never provided an official way to request features or report bugs.
Most users try to post in the Russian forum on the most recent topic about a MetaTrader release build, but most are ignored.
If you do try, please remember to write in Russian only (use auto translation).
With user programming skills, your features could be added by way of coding custom Services for MT5 (MQL5 Cookbook — Services - MQL5 Articles).
This is a fairly tall order. You might try your luck posting a job in Freelance.
MQL5 Cookbook — Services
- www.mql5.com
The article describes the versatile capabilities of services — MQL5 programs that do not require binding graphs. I will also highlight the differences of services from other MQL5 programs and emphasize the nuances of the developer's work with services. As examples, the reader is offered various tasks covering a wide range of functionality that can be implemented as a service.

Subject: Feature Request: Scrollable Multi-Chart Grid Layout with Sidebar Support
Dear MetaTrader 5 Development Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
As an active user of MT5 with a professional trading workflow, I would like to kindly request the integration of a scrollable, tile-based multi-chart layout system within the MT5 platform. Specifically, I am seeking a feature with the following structure:
The ability to display 1, 4, 9, 16 charts on-screen at a time (e.g.,1x1 2×2, 3x3,4x4 grid).
Subsequent charts should appear in a scrollable grid layout—accessible vertically or horizontally—so that large watchlists can be managed in a clean, paginated view.
A fixed sidebar (like Market Watch or Navigator) on the right side that remains visible regardless of chart scrolling.
This layout would significantly enhance usability for traders who monitor multiple instruments simultaneously, without crowding the interface. It would offer the clarity of a dashboard with the functionality of organized paging.
Thank you for considering this request. I, and many others in the trading community, would deeply appreciate such an enhancement.
Warm regards,
Uma Shankar Baidya
