Important Notes for MT5 Users
| Note | Explanation |
|---|---|
| No keyboard hotkeys | MT5 indicators cannot directly listen for keyboard input – all actions are handled via on-screen buttons |
| Text only | This tool places text labels, not drawing objects (lines, rectangles, fibs, etc.) |
| One instance per chart recommended | Running multiple copies may cause object naming conflicts |
