MT5 Economic Calendar・High-Speed One-Click Close・Economic Event Alerts・Holiday & Early-Close Detection・Mobile Push
ApexForge Trader Safety Dashboard is an MT5 risk-awareness and trade-management utility.
It combines:
- MT5 Economic Calendar
- Economic event countdowns
- Actual / Forecast / Previous
- Holiday detection
- Broker Trading Sessions
- Early-Close Risk
- High-Speed One-Click Close
- Directional Buy / Sell close controls
- Real-time Floating P/L
- Position Hover information
- MT5 Mobile Push
- Optional MT5 Impact Reference
It is not a trading strategy and does not automatically enter trades.
Its purpose is simple:
Put important risk information directly on your MT5 chart before risk gets closer.
And:
When you have already decided to exit, provide a faster and more direct way out.
My Story
One Friday, I was holding a heavily leveraged long Gold position and wanted to finish one final trade before the weekend.
I failed to notice that it was a U.S. holiday and that the market would close early.
When the market closed, I was still holding the position.
When Gold reopened, price gapped by approximately $60, jumped beyond my original stop loss, and caused a devastating loss.
It was not because I had no stop loss.
It was not because my directional analysis was wrong.
It happened because:
I forgot what day it was.
ApexForge Trader Safety Dashboard was created from that lesson.
⚡ High-Speed One-Click Close
Pressing Close rapidly sends close requests for matching positions, verifies the actual remaining positions, and retries only positions that remain open.
Supports:
- Close All Account
- Close Current Symbol
- Magic Number Filter
- Maximum Retry
- Maximum Deviation
- Trading-permission and connection checks
Directional controls:
B → Buy Positions only
S → Sell Positions only
When the requested close scope has been confirmed fully closed, the EA can play:
ok.wav
once.
Actual execution speed and price depend on broker servers, network conditions, liquidity, slippage, and other execution conditions.
💰 Floating P/L Colors
Close / B / S change color according to the actual Floating P/L of their corresponding positions.
Default:
Profit → Blue
Loss → Red
No Position / Zero → Gray
Colors are user-configurable.
🖱 Hover Position Information
Move the mouse over Close / B / S to view:
- Floating P/L
- Lots
- Positions
While Hover is active, values can update with incoming market ticks.
The Hover window automatically adjusts to the displayed text length.
🖱 Draggable Interface
Close / B / S :
Short press → Close action
Hold approximately 2 seconds → Drag the complete button group
Risk Dashboard + / - :
Short press → Expand / Collapse
Hold approximately 2 seconds → Drag the complete Dashboard
Controls change color while drag mode is active and return to their normal state after release.
📅 MT5 Economic Calendar
The Dashboard reads directly from the MT5 Economic Calendar.
Supported major currencies:
USD / EUR / GBP / JPY / AUD / CAD / CHF / NZD / CNY
Importance modes:
HIGH
or:
MEDIUM + HIGH
Future events display a live countdown.
After release, Hover information can display:
Actual / Forecast / Previous
📈 Optional MT5 Impact Reference
Default: OFF
When enabled, the EA can display the native Impact direction provided by the MT5 Economic Calendar.
Example:
USD Bearish
XAUUSD Bullish
Source: MT5
This feature does not calculate direction itself from Actual versus Forecast and is not an ApexForge market prediction.
Different providers may use different Forecast values or Impact classifications.
Bullish / Bearish information is for reference only and is not a trading signal.
When disabled:
Actual / Forecast / Previous remain available.
🏖 Holiday & Early Close
Holiday information can be included directly in Dashboard risk alerts.
The EA also reads the broker-provided Trading Session to help identify:
- Market Closed
- Special trading schedules
- Early-Close Risk
Actual tradable hours always depend on the user's own broker.
🚨 Risk Alerts
The Dashboard uses:
Silver — Normal
Orange — Warning
Red — Urgent
When a major event or Early Close enters the Urgent Window, the EA can play a desktop alert sound and send an MT5 Mobile Push notification.
🌍 Time & Language
Time modes:
- Broker Server Time
- Local PC Time
- New York Time
EA interface languages:
- AUTO
- English
- Traditional Chinese
- Simplified Chinese
⚠️ Important Information
- Economic data comes from the MT5 Economic Calendar.
- Actual / Forecast / Previous update timing depends on MT5 synchronization.
- The EA cannot accelerate data that MT5 has not yet updated.
- MT5 Impact Reference is OFF by default.
- Bullish / Bearish information is not trading advice or a trading signal.
- Trading Session data is supplied by the user's broker.
- One-Click Close cannot eliminate gaps, slippage, liquidity, network, or broker execution risk.
- This product is a risk-information and trade-management utility and does not guarantee profit or loss prevention.
Final Thought
Trading risk does not exist only in price. Sometimes, it is hidden in the calendar and the clock.
That time, I was not wrong about direction.
I did have a stop loss.
I simply forgot:
what day it was.
ApexForge Trader Safety Dashboard was built to make that kind of risk harder to ignore.
