Feature Request: Dedicated EA Panel for Multiple Expert Advisors and Pair Selection in MT5 Terminal

[Ibnus SALAM]

Dear MetaTrader 5 Forum Community and Developers,

I hope this message finds you well. As an active user of the MetaTrader 5 platform, I greatly appreciate its robust features and flexibility for automated trading. However, I would like to propose a valuable enhancement to further improve the platform's functionality for traders using Expert Advisors (EAs).

Currently, MT5 allows only one EA to be attached to a single chart at a time, which limits the ability to run multiple EAs simultaneously on the same chart without complex workarounds, such as combining EAs into a single program or opening multiple charts. To address this, I kindly request the development team to consider adding a dedicated EA management panel within the MT5 terminal. This panel would allow users to:

1. Attach one or multiple EAs to a single chart with ease.
2. Select specific currency pairs or instruments that each EA should apply to, providing clear control over which pairs are affected by each EA.
3. Manage EA settings (e.g., Magic Numbers, parameters) directly from the panel to avoid conflicts and streamline configuration.

Such a feature would significantly enhance the user experience by simplifying the process of running multiple EAs, improving efficiency, and reducing the risk of errors caused by manual workarounds. It would also make MT5 more competitive and user-friendly for traders who rely on multiple automated strategies.

I believe this addition would benefit the entire MT5 community, and I hope the development team will consider implementing it in a future update. Thank you for your attention to this request, and I look forward to any feedback or discussion from the community.

Best regards,

Ibnus SALAM
