Trade manager gtm

GTM Panel is a manual trade panel for MetaTrader 5. It does not generate signals and it does not open a single trade on its own. You decide what to trade and when — the panel places it, protects it, follows it, and closes it in one press instead of ten.

It is built around one thing most panels treat as an afterthought: pending orders. Four independent limit slots sit beside the market scope, each with its own colour, its own price, its own lots, its own SL and TP, and its own line on the chart. You can see all five at once and never lose track of which order you are editing.

The problem it solves

With one position open, MetaTrader is fine. With six, it is not. Moving six stops to entry means six right-clicks, six dialogs and six confirmations — and while you are on the fourth one, price has already come back. Setting up four pending orders with matching stops and targets means typing the same numbers over and over and hoping you did not mistype a digit.

GTM Panel puts all of that on one surface: type the price or drag the line, press the button once, and every trade in the selected scope is handled together.

What is inside

1. Five scopes — MARKET, L1, L2, L3, L4

A single strip at the top of the panel selects what everything below it will act on. MARKET is your instant buy and sell. L1 to L4 are four independent pending-order slots, each with its own magic number so they never interfere with each other or with any EA running on the same chart.

Each slot wears a fixed colour — L1 orange, L2 pink, L3 lime, L4 periwinkle — and that same colour is used for its chart lines and its price chips. The tab you pressed and the line you are looking at obviously belong together.

2. A proper pending-order desk

Choose BUY LIMIT, SELL LIMIT, BUY STOP or SELL STOP, type the price, lots, SL and TP, set how many orders one press should place, and hit LPUT. The panel shows the live distance from current price so you know immediately whether your level makes sense.

3. Drag SL and TP on the chart

The panel draws the entry, stop and target as lines you can grab with the mouse. Pull one and the number in the panel changes with it. Type a number instead and the line jumps to it. A price chip pinned to the right edge of each line tells you what it is and what price it sits at, so a chart with several slots armed still reads at a glance.

The lines are drawn as bounded segments that start clear of the panel, so they never cut across the interface the way a plain horizontal line does.

4. The floating TARGET box

A small window of its own that owes the panel nothing. It lists six independent targets — market buy, market sell, and L1 to L4 — each with its own SL and TP, each switched on and off separately. Pick it up by its handle and park it anywhere on the chart, or close it and bring it back with TGT BOX.

Every row also answers the question that actually matters once an order is live: how far along am I. Progress is measured in money rather than distance, so "62%" means 62% of the dollars you asked for — true whether one trade is running or six.

Arming a limit target puts the market target away, and arming a market target puts the limit rows away, so the chart never carries two sets of lines fighting over the same prices.

5. MY TGT — free-standing target boxes

Drop a target box anywhere on the chart, drag it where you want it, close it when you are done. It is connected to nothing — use it to mark a level you are watching, to measure a move, or to plan an entry before you commit to it.

6. Break even — one press, or a price you choose

The BE button moves the stop of every trade in the selected scope to its entry price. Leave the BE @ box on zero and that is what happens. Type a price into it and the stops go to that level instead — useful when you want to lock in a little more than nothing, or park the stop behind a structure rather than at entry.

7. Close buttons that respect the scope

CLOSE ALL, CL BUY, CL SELL, CL PROFIT, CL LOSS. Each one touches only the scope you are pointing at. With L2 selected, CLOSE ALL closes L2 and leaves your market trades and L1, L3 and L4 exactly where they were. The scope name is printed on the section header so you always know what is about to be affected.

8. See your orders on the chart

TRADES puts a tag on the right edge of the chart for every open position and every pending order, in the colour of the slot that owns it. LINES clears every line the panel draws — and MetaTrader's own trade levels — in one press when you want a clean chart to read, then brings them all back.

9. Fits your chart, not the other way round

12 full colour themes — NAVY, GOLD, EMERALD, PURPLE, CYBER, CLASSIC, SLATE, SUNSET, ICE, MATRIX, DAYLIGHT and PAPER — plus a night mode that dims the whole palette. Each theme changes the title bar, section bars, body, buttons, accent and text together, not just a border colour.

The panel can be moved anywhere on the chart, rolled up into its title bar when you need the space, and it remembers where you left it. A live candle meter and a floating P/L plate sit in the header so you can keep an eye on the account without looking away.

10. Optional password lock

Set a password in the inputs and the panel starts locked — no button does anything until it is typed in. Leave the password empty and there is no lock row at all, so you cannot lock yourself out by accident. Useful on a shared screen or a machine other people can reach.
