Check out the new article: The MQL5 Standard Library Explorer (Part 12): Multi-Timeframe Composite-Score Dashboard.
The article implements CMultiTimeframeMatrix, a reusable dashboard that maps symbols vs. timeframes and displays a numeric, colour‑coded score. The score combines trend, momentum, and volatility, updates by timer, and respects performance constraints. You will learn how to build the UI with CAppDialog/CLabel, compute metrics via CMatrixDouble, and embed the component into a thin EA for a consistent, real-time overview.
You already have the Market Watch window and can switch between multiple timeframes manually. However, it cannot provide a unified, quantitative, real‑time overview across all relevant timeframes for every symbol in your watchlist. Without automation, traders spend minutes clicking through chart tabs, searching for confluence, and subjectively judging trend strength—a slow, inconsistent process that often leads to missed opportunities.
This article offers CMultiTimeframeMatrix—a ready‑for‑deployment dashboard that displays a color‑coded matrix of symbols vs. timeframes. Written as a reusable module and a host EA, it integrates seamlessly with your existing workflow. Every cell shows a composite score (trend + momentum – volatility) scaled to an easily interpretable range, with blue/red intensity indicating bullish/bearish bias. The dashboard updates on a timer, respects performance budgets, and can be toggled with a hotkey. You will see a clear, at‑a‑glance picture of market conditions, allowing you to spot alignment across timeframes in seconds.
