Check out the new article: MQL5 Trading Tools (Part 5): Creating a Rolling Ticker Tape for Real-Time Symbol Monitoring.
In this article, we develop a rolling ticker tape in MQL5 for real-time monitoring of multiple symbols, displaying bid prices, spreads, and daily percentage changes with scrolling effects. We implement customizable fonts, colors, and scroll speeds to highlight price movements and trends effectively.
The rolling ticker tape we’re creating is a tool to display real-time data for multiple symbols in a scrolling format, showing bid prices, spreads, and daily percentage changes to help us stay updated at a glance. This feature is important because it provides a compact, dynamic view of market movements, highlighting price trends and volatility without overwhelming the chart, which is essential for quick decision-making in fast-paced trading.
We will achieve this by structuring the display into separate scrolling lines for symbols, prices, spreads, and changes, using customizable speeds and colors to indicate up or down movements. We plan to use arrays for symbol data and timers for smooth scrolling, ensuring the ticker adapts to user preferences while running efficiently in the background. Let’s move on to see how we bring this to life! In a nutshell, below is a visualization of what we want to achieve.
