ADVANCE TRADE MANAGER
A complete, tabbed trade-management dashboard for MetaTrader 5 that puts every routine trade operation on one compact panel. No more hunting through menus — open, protect, scale and manage positions from a single interface.
The panel is a pure GUI overlay. It never touches your existing chart objects, indicators, arrows or manual lines. All chart objects it creates use the dedicated EGF_Z_ (zones) prefix, and trigger lines use the panel's own object names — so nothing else on your chart is affected.
[NOTE: This trade manager is set for XAUUSD / GOLD symbol]The Four Tabs
Tab 1 — TRADE MANAGER (orange)
The main execution and position-management hub.
-
BUY / SELL market buttons — instant execution with TP and SL calculated from the pip fields.
-
Lot size selector — choose from a configurable list (e.g. 0.01 … 1.20 ) or type any custom value.
-
Positions selector — open 1 to 10 positions in one click.
-
TP / SL pips — set default take-profit and stop-loss distances with - / + step buttons.
-
TP ladder — when opening 2+ positions, each subsequent position gets an additional TP offset (configurable). The last position becomes a runner with no TP that trails after the prior TP is hit.
-
Limit / Stop orders — place Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop and Sell Stop with dedicated price / TP / SL fields. Toggle between LIMIT and STOP mode with one button.
-
Grid mode — place a configurable number of orders at a fixed pip step (e.g. 5 orders × 10 pips).
-
Management buttons — BREAK EVEN, partial close 10% / 30% / 50% / 90%, CLOSE PROFIT, CLOSE LOSS, DELETE LIMITS, and a TRAIL toggle.
-
Live P&L display — floating P&L for the current symbol, position count and total volume.
-
Risk preview — shows the estimated account-currency risk for the trade you are about to open (lots × SL pips × pip value).
-
Volatility blocker — optional ATR(14)-based filter that blocks new trades when volatility is too high.
-
News filter — reads the built-in economic calendar and warns you of high-impact events within a configurable window.
-
Timeframe + candle countdown — shows the active timeframe and time remaining until the current candle closes.
-
Error log — the last 4 errors are shown at the bottom of the panel and auto-clear after 30 seconds.
Tab 2 — SL & TP MANAGER (green)
Bulk protect every open position without leaving the panel.
-
SET TP / SET SL — apply a price to all eligible open positions at once.
-
BUY BE +N / SELL BE +N — move stop-loss of all BUY (or all SELL) positions to break-even plus a configurable number of points.
-
BUY positions only — set TP or SL on BUY positions only.
-
SELL positions only — set TP or SL on SELL positions only.
-
Positions counter — shows how many positions are currently targeted.
-
Live quote + spread display — current Bid/Ask and broker spread in points and pips.
Tab 3 — ZONES PANEL (blue)
Draw supply/demand style zones on the chart, limited to the current trading day.
-
Fill in SELL zone top/bottom and BUY zone top/bottom.
-
Fill in optional SELL target and BUY target levels.
-
Press Draw Zones to render the filled rectangles and dashed target lines for the current day.
-
Press Clear to remove them.
-
Press Activate to automatically place:
-
SELL LIMIT at the SELL zone top
-
SELL STOP at the SELL zone bottom
-
BUY LIMIT at the BUY zone bottom
-
BUY STOP at the BUY zone top
-
TP comes from the target fields, SL from the default SL pips.
-
-
Levels on the wrong side of the current price are automatically skipped.
-
Zones are automatically re-timed to the new day at rollover.
Tab 4 — DRAG LINES (magenta)
Price-touch trigger lines that fire trades automatically.
-
Press BUY LINE to place a horizontal line above price; press SELL LINE to place one below price.
-
Drag the line to any level — it stays horizontal and re-arms automatically.
-
When price touches the line, the EA opens a BUY (for the buy line) or SELL (for the sell line) using the same TP/SL/lot settings as the main panel.
-
Press RESET LINES to remove both trigger lines.
-
Line length is configurable in bars and auto-refits on timeframe change.
How to Use — Quick Start
-
Attach the EA to any chart. The dashboard appears at the configured X/Y position.
-
On Tab 1, choose your lot size and number of positions, set TP and SL pips, then press BUY or SELL.
-
Switch to Tab 2 to bulk-set TP/SL or move positions to break-even.
-
Switch to Tab 3 to draw daily zones and optionally auto-place orders from them.
-
Switch to Tab 4 to place drag-line price triggers.
All actions apply to the chart symbol by default. Tab 2 can optionally apply to all symbols via the InpAllSymbols input.

Important Notes
-
Recommended timeframe: any. Pip size is auto-detected correctly for 5-digit, 3-digit, 4-digit, 2-digit and metals.
-
Broker compatibility: works with any MT5 broker. SL/TP levels are automatically clamped into the broker's valid stop zone, with retries on slow servers.
-
Calendar: the news filter uses the built-in MT5 economic calendar. If your broker does not provide calendar data, the news line will simply show the "no news" state — no errors.
-
Drag lines: disabled by default only if you set InpDragLinesEnabled = false . Leave it true to use Tab 4.
-
Chart objects: zones use the EGF_Z_ prefix only. Trigger lines use the panel's own object names. The EA never modifies user lines, arrows or indicator objects.
-
Account type: works on netting and hedging accounts. Partial close and multi-position features are best used on hedging accounts.
