Check out the new article: Building AI-Powered Trading Systems in MQL5 (Part 5): Adding a Collapsible Sidebar with Chat Popups.

In Part 5 of our MQL5 AI trading system series, we enhance the ChatGPT-integrated Expert Advisor by introducing a collapsible sidebar, improving navigation with small and large history popups for seamless chat selection, while maintaining multiline input handling, persistent encrypted chat storage, and AI-driven trade signal generation from chart data.

A collapsible sidebar in AI trading interfaces, such as our ChatGPT-integrated system, is vital for optimizing screen real estate and enhancing user experience. By allowing the sidebar to toggle between an expanded state and a contracted state, we can prioritize chart space when needed or access full navigation details during analysis, improving workflow efficiency without sacrificing functionality. The addition of a small history pop-up on hover in contracted mode and a scrollable, large history pop-up for all chats ensures quick access to persistent conversations, allowing us to reference past AI-driven market insights or signals seamlessly. This supports faster, more informed trading decisions while maintaining a clean, intuitive interface.

Our approach builds on the existing system's strengths, which you know by now, and if not, please refer to the previous versions of the series. The collapsible sidebar enhances this by offering flexibility: in expanded mode, it provides clear chat navigation; when contracted, it minimizes intrusion. The small pop-up allows quick history access, while the large pop-up enables comprehensive chat selection, making the transition between modes smooth and intuitive. This design caters to traders needing both compact and detailed views, ensuring the interface adapts to varying needs while preserving the ability to interact with AI-generated insights for market opportunities like trend analysis or reversals. We will also include a larger chat view for dynamic search functions, but for now, keep things simple. Below are visual representations of the intended setups.
