Check out the new article: Engineering a Self-Healing Expert Advisor in MQL5 (Part 5): Real-Time Recovery Dashboard (Final Part).
This article implements a real-time monitoring dashboard for a self-healing MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor. The dashboard displays the current EA state, virtual stop-loss and take-profit levels, breakeven and trailing status, recovery state, synchronization status, and heartbeat information directly on the chart. By exposing the internal recovery state visually, the Expert Advisor becomes easier to monitor, verify, and troubleshoot while managing active trades.
Over the previous parts of this series, we built a recovery system capable of persisting trade state, restoring virtual protection after restart, recovering dynamic protection workflows, and validating recovery integrity.
While these features work correctly, they are difficult to observe while the Expert Advisor is actively managing a trade on a chart. Most recovery activity happens internally through runtime memory, SQLite records, and log messages. As the recovery architecture grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to understand what the Expert Advisor is doing at any given moment.
A dashboard solves this problem by exposing important recovery information directly on the chart. Instead of relying on journal logs, traders can monitor the Expert Advisor's current operational state in real-time.
In this article, we will build a dashboard that displays trade information, virtual protection levels, recovery status, synchronization status, and heartbeat activity. By the end of this part, readers will have a visual monitoring layer that makes the behavior of the recovery system easier to understand and verify while the Expert Advisor is running.
