Eye of Providence
- Utilities
- Version: 1.0
is a visual market-monitoring indicator that displays multiple trading instruments and timeframes within a single chart window.
Developed using MQL5, the indicator transforms historical price data into a structured dashboard featuring custom candlesticks or price dots. Each row represents a symbol, while each column represents a selected timeframe. This arrangement allows traders to examine recent market behavior across several instruments and timeframes without continually opening and closing charts.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Multi-symbol monitoring: Display a manually selected list of instruments or use the symbols available in Market Watch.
-
Multi-timeframe analysis: Compare price action across M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1, W1, and MN1, subject to the selected settings and available chart space.
-
Two visualization modes: Choose custom candlesticks with bodies and wicks or price dots that provide a simplified view of closing-price movement.
-
Volume visualization: Display tick-volume bars alongside price information to help identify changes in market activity.
-
Animated color palettes: Apply selectable color schemes to bullish candles, bearish candles, and volume bars, including custom color gradients.
-
Clickable timeframe cells: Click a symbol's timeframe cell to bring an existing matching chart forward or open a new chart for that symbol and timeframe.
-
Live price labels: View the latest available bid price beside each displayed symbol.
-
Flexible layout: Adjust the spacing, cell dimensions, fonts, borders, and chart-position offsets to suit your workspace.
-
Historical-data awareness: Receive an alert when insufficient historical bars are available for the configured dashboard.
-
Reduced chart clutter: The indicator hides the chart's conventional price scale, time scale, grid, and standard chart candles to prioritize the dashboard.
How to Use
-
Attach Eye of Providence to a MetaTrader 5 chart.

-
Select either custom candlesticks or price dots.
-
Customize bullish, bearish, and volume colors, including palette animation if desired.

-
Review the dashboard alongside your preferred technical analysis and risk-management tools before making trading decisions.
Trading Purpose
Eye of Providence is designed to support market scanning, multi-timeframe comparison, and faster chart navigation. It can help traders notice potential directional differences, changing candle structures, and shifts in tick-volume activity across a watchlist.
The dashboard is an observational tool, not an automated trading system. It does not independently determine high-probability entries, guarantee trend continuation, or establish whether a trade is profitable.
Limitations and Important Notes
-
No trade execution: The indicator does not automatically place, manage, or close trades.
-
No guaranteed signals: Bullish and bearish candle colors describe the relationship between a candle's closing and opening prices; they do not predict the next move.
-
Tick volume is not centralized market volume: For many Forex instruments, the displayed volume represents broker-provided tick activity rather than total global traded volume.
-
Historical data is essential: Missing bars can leave parts of the dashboard incomplete until additional history is available.
-
Display space is limited: If too many symbols or timeframes are selected, the indicator may display only the first rows or columns that fit the chart window.
-
Color animation is cosmetic: Animated palettes improve visual customization but do not add predictive information to price data.
-
Broker symbol names vary: Instruments in CustomSymbols must match the names used by your broker, including any suffixes or prefixes.
-
Not a substitute for risk management: Confirm trade setups, spreads, execution conditions, and position sizing independently.
Recommended use: Treat Eye of Providence as a visual command center for market observation. Use it to organize your attention, then investigate promising instruments on their individual charts before committing capital.
