Check out the new article: From Novice to Expert: Animated News Headline Using MQL5 (X)—Multiple Symbol Chart View for News Trading.
Today we will develop a multi-chart view system using chart objects. The goal is to enhance news trading by applying MQL5 algorithms that help reduce trader reaction time during periods of high volatility, such as major news releases. In this case, we provide traders with an integrated way to monitor multiple major symbols within a single all-in-one news trading tool. Our work is continuously advancing with the News Headline EA, which now features a growing set of functions that add real value both for traders using fully automated systems and for those who prefer manual trading assisted by algorithms.

As our program grows, it is important to adopt a structured and maintainable approach to integrating new features. One of my favorite techniques is modularization, which ensures smooth development and allows us to create reusable utilities in the form of headers and classes.
For a sophisticated program like the News Headline EA, I follow a consistent workflow:
This process provides a focused workflow, reduces errors, and ensures that new features are seamlessly incorporated without breaking existing functionality.
Today, our design task is to create a CChartMiniTiles class, which will handle the display of multiple symbol charts within a single chart, each at customizable dimensions. We will then implement the class in a dummy EA (MiniChartsEA) to validate the concept. Once confirmed, the class will be integrated into the News Headline EA and adapted for smooth functionality.
Finally, note that names like CChartMiniTiles and MiniChartsEA are simply placeholders I chose for this walkthrough—you are free to use different names, as long as you understand how the program works.
