Economic Calendar Marker shows when economic news is released, directly on your chart. Each event time gets a vertical line coloured by importance, so you can see at a glance which candles were moved by news and what is coming next.

How it works

- Events come from the economic calendar built into MetaTrader 5 (the Calendar tab of the terminal). The indicator uses the standard Calendar functions.

- By default it shows the currencies of the chart symbol (for example EUR and USD on EURUSD, or USD for gold). You can type your own list instead, such as "USD,EUR,GBP".

- High, medium and low importance can each be switched on or off. Lines are red for high, amber for medium and grey for low.

- When several events share the same time, one line is drawn, coloured by the most important one. Hovering over it shows all their names.

- A panel lists the next events with date, currency, time remaining and name.

- Events from the last 5 days and the next 7 days are loaded (adjustable), and the list refreshes every 5 minutes.

Inputs

- Events: currencies, importance levels, days back, days ahead.

- Display: colours per importance, event names on lines (shown as the line description: turn on "Show object descriptions" in the chart properties, F8), number of events in the panel, panel corner, refresh interval.

Limits

- Event times are shown in the trade server's time, as provided by the terminal's calendar.

- The calendar is not available in the Strategy Tester, so nothing is drawn there.

- Event schedules can change. Always check the terminal's Calendar tab for the latest details.

The indicator marks times only. It does not trade or give signals.

Swing High Low Levels marks confirmed swing highs and lows and extends each one to the right as a horizontal level until price breaks it. At a glance you can see which recent swings are still intact and which have already been taken out. How it works - A swing high is a bar whose high is above the highs of the bars on its left and not exceeded by the bars on its right (10 left and 5 right by default). A swing low works the same way with lows. - A swing is confirmed only after the bars on its ri

ATR Stop Levels draws price levels a chosen number of ATRs below and above the current price. It shows at a glance where a volatility-based stop would sit for a long or a short position, without measuring by hand. How it works - ATR (Average True Range) measures the typical bar range. You can smooth it with RMA (Wilder's original method), SMA or EMA. - Up to three multipliers (1.5, 2 and 3 by default). Each draws a dashed level below price and one above, with a label showing the price and the d

Daily and Previous Day Levels draws the reference levels intraday traders check every morning: the previous day's high, low and close, today's open, today's running high and low, and the previous week's high and low. How it works - Values come straight from the symbol's own D1 and W1 bars, so the day follows your broker's server day. - Each day gets its own line segment, from the day's first bar to its last. Past days stay readable and old lines never shift. You choose how many days to keep (5

Fibonacci Auto Levels draws Fibonacci retracement levels automatically, so you do not have to drag the Fibonacci tool by hand every time the chart moves. How it works - The indicator looks at the last N bars (100 by default) and finds the highest high and the lowest low. - The direction follows which extreme came last. - Low after the high: the last swing was down. Level 0 sits at the low and level 1 at the high, so the levels show how far price has bounced back up. - High after the low: the la

Heikin Ashi Smoothed draws a cleaner version of Heikin Ashi candles. Regular Heikin Ashi already averages prices to reduce noise; this version smooths twice, before and after the Heikin Ashi step, so small swings disappear and longer moves stand out. How it works 1. The bar's open, high, low and close are smoothed with an exponential moving average (length 10 by default). 2. Heikin Ashi candles are built from those smoothed prices: close = average of the four prices, open = midpoint of the prev

Round Number Levels draws horizontal lines at round prices around the current price, for example every 50 dollars on gold, every 100 pips on EURUSD or every 1,000 on Bitcoin. Many traders watch these "psychological" prices, so it is useful to have them on the chart without drawing them by hand. How it works - With the automatic step, the minor step is about one hundredth of the price, rounded to 1, 2 or 5 times a power of ten. Gold near 4,000 gives 50, EURUSD near 1.10 gives 0.01, and Bitcoin n

Volume Profile shows where volume has built up by price over the last N bars. It draws a horizontal histogram to the right of the last bar and marks three reference levels: the Point of Control, and the high and low of the Value Area. How it works - The price range of the last N bars (200 by default) is split into rows (40 by default). - Each bar's volume is spread evenly over its high-low range and added to the rows it touches. You can use tick volume (always available in MT5) or real volume w

Average Daily Range (ADR) Panel shows how far a symbol usually travels in a day and how much of that typical range today has already covered. It is a quick way to judge whether today is quiet, normal or unusually active. How it works - The daily range is the D1 bar's high minus its low. ADR is the average of that range over the last 5, 10 and 20 completed days; today's unfinished day is not included. - Today's range is the current D1 bar's high minus its low so far. - "Used of ADR" is today's r

Pivot Points draws the classic floor-trader levels from the previous day, week or month: a central pivot plus resistance (R) levels above and support (S) levels below. Three common formulas are included. Formulas (H, L, C = previous period's high, low, close; P = (H + L + C) / 3; range = H - L) - Classic: R1 = 2P - L, S1 = 2P - H, R2/S2 = P ± range, R3 = H + 2(P - L), S3 = L - 2(H - P). - Fibonacci: P ± 0.382, 0.618 and 1.000 × range. - Camarilla: C ± range × 1.1/12, 1.1/6, 1.1/4 and 1.1/2 (R1-

Currency Strength Meter ranks the eight major currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF, CAD, AUD, NZD) from strongest to weakest over a recent period. It uses all 28 pairs they form, so it shows whether a move belongs to one currency or to the other side of the pair. How it works - For each pair the indicator takes the percent change between the last closed bar and the bar N bars before it on the chosen timeframe (24 H1 bars by default). - A currency gains that change when it is the base of a pair a

Session Boxes draws the Asia (Tokyo), Europe (London) and US (New York) trading sessions as rectangles on an intraday chart. Each box spans the session's high and low, so you can see where each market traded, how wide the range was and where sessions overlap. How it works - Session hours are entered in each market's local time (Tokyo 09:00-18:00, London 08:00-17:00 and New York 08:00-17:00 by default). - UK and US daylight saving are applied automatically, so the boxes stay on the right bars al

Risk to Lot Calculator turns "how much am I willing to lose on this trade" into a lot size. It takes your contract data straight from the broker, so it works the same on forex, gold, indices and crypto CFDs. How it works - Risk per trade is a percent of your balance (or equity, or a manual amount) or a fixed amount in the account currency. - The stop loss can be a price, a distance in points or a multiple of ATR. - The loss for 1.00 lot at the stop is the stop distance divided by the tick size,

ATR Trailing Stop Line draws where a volatility-based trailing stop would sit. For a long position the line stays a fixed number of ATRs below the highest point reached. For a short position it stays above the lowest point. The line only moves in the position's favour and never moves back. How it works - ATR (Average True Range, Wilder's smoothing) measures the typical bar range. The line sits a chosen multiple of it (3 by default) away from price. - On each bar the line is pulled up (long side

Inside/Outside Bar Highlighter colours two common candle patterns so they are easy to spot on any chart: - Inside bar: the bar's high is below the previous high and its low is above the previous low. The range has contracted inside the previous bar. - Outside bar: the bar's high is above the previous high and its low is below the previous low. The range has expanded beyond the previous bar on both sides. How it works - The indicator draws a coloured candle on top of each matching bar. Inside ba

Opening Range Levels marks the high, low and middle of the opening range, the first minutes of a session you choose, and carries those levels through the rest of the day. How it works - You set the window and its time zone: New York (default 09:30-10:00), London, Tokyo or your broker's server time. - US and UK daylight saving are applied automatically. Your broker's server offset is detected from the terminal; most brokers shift their clock with US daylight saving, which is the default, and a f

Previous Session High Low Alerts marks the high and low of the last completed trading session and alerts you when price comes back to them. Many traders watch where the previous Asian, London or New York session topped and bottomed. This indicator draws those levels and notifies you when they are touched. How it works - You set one session by its start and end in server time (default 10:00-19:00, which matches London hours on many brokers whose servers run at GMT+2/+3). Sessions may run past mi

Session and Anchored VWAP plots the volume-weighted average price (VWAP), the average price paid in a period weighted by volume. Two versions are included: one that resets every day, week or month, and one anchored at a moment you choose. How it works - Periodic VWAP: starts fresh at the beginning of each day (broker server time), each week (Monday) or each month, and accumulates price × volume from there. - Up to two bands at a chosen number of standard deviations show how far price has moved

Drawdown Monitor keeps an eye on your account and tells you how deep the current drawdown is. Its alerts fire before a bad day turns into a worse one. How it works - DD from peak: how far equity is below its highest value. The peak is stored in a terminal global variable per account, so it survives restarts. It can be reset with an input. - Floating DD: how far equity is below balance, which is the loss on open positions. - Today DD: how far equity is below the equity at the start of the server

Multi-Timeframe Trend Panel shows, in one small panel, what a moving average is doing on four timeframes at once (M15, H1, H4 and D1 by default). You can see whether the timeframes agree without switching charts. How it works - For each timeframe the indicator reads the moving average (EMA 50 by default) on the last closed bar and on the bar a few bars before it (5 by default). - The change between the two is compared with ATR(14) of the same timeframe: - rising when the average went up by more

ATR Volatility Percentile answers a simple question: is the market quiet or busy compared with its own recent past? Raw ATR values are hard to compare across symbols and periods. A percentile puts them on one 0-100 scale. How it works - ATR (Average True Range, Wilder's smoothing, length 14 by default) measures the typical bar range. - The indicator compares the current ATR with the previous N values (250 bars by default). The percentile is the share of those values that were lower than or equa

Correlation Matrix shows how closely up to six symbols have moved together. It helps to avoid holding several positions that are really the same bet, and to see when a usual relationship between markets breaks down. How it works - The reference bars are the last N closed bars (60 by default) of the chosen timeframe (D1 by default) on the chart symbol. - For each symbol the indicator finds the bar at the same time with iBarShift and takes its return, so symbols with different trading hours are c

Watchlist Scanner puts the key numbers of up to 20 symbols in one panel on any chart, so you can compare markets without opening a chart for each. Columns - Last: current bid. - Chg %: change since the previous daily close, green when up and aqua when down. - Spread: current spread in points. - ATR D1 (%): the daily Average True Range over the last 14 completed days, in price and as a percent of price. It shows how much each symbol typically moves in a day, on a comparable scale. - Range/ATR: t

Day and Week Separators draws vertical lines at the start of each day, week and month on intraday charts, with an optional day-of-week label at each line. It is a small visual aid that makes it easier to see where one trading day ends and the next begins. How it works - Day, week and month separators each have their own switch, colour and line style. - When several periods start on the same bar, only the strongest line is drawn: month over week, week over day. - The trading day can start at the

Spread Monitor and Logger keeps a record of your broker's spread on the current symbol. It shows when spreads widen (rollover, news, quiet hours) and keeps a simple log you can open in a spreadsheet. How it works - Every second the indicator reads the current spread in points. A sample is only counted while the symbol is quoting (a new tick in the last minute), so closed hours do not pull the statistics down. - The panel shows the current spread, the average, minimum and maximum of the current

Market Sessions Clock is a small panel that shows, at a glance, which markets are open right now and when the next one opens or closes. How it works - Four sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York. Each has its own on/off switch and hours. - Hours are entered in each market's local time (for example 08:00-17:00 London), and daylight saving is applied automatically for Sydney, London and New York. - For every session the panel shows Open or Closed, the time left until it closes or until it n

Account Info Panel puts the numbers you check most often into one small panel on the chart, so you do not have to switch to the Trade tab. What it shows - Balance and equity. - Floating P/L of open positions. - Closed today: profit, swap, commission and fees of deals closed since the start of the server day. Deposits and withdrawals are excluded. - Margin used and free margin. - Margin level, highlighted when it falls below 200%. - Today's drawdown: how far equity is below its level at the star

News Countdown Panel keeps the next important economic release in view. A small panel shows how long is left until the next event of the chart's currencies, so a news spike does not catch you by surprise. How it works - Events come from the economic calendar built into MetaTrader 5, through the standard Calendar functions. - By default it uses the currencies of the chart symbol (for example EUR and USD on EURUSD, or USD on gold). You can type your own list, such as "USD,GBP". - You choose the i

Spread and Swap Info shows the trading costs and timing details of the current symbol in a small panel, so beginners can check them without opening the symbol specification. What it shows - Spread in points, with "(fixed)" when the broker quotes a fixed spread. - Swap long / short with the right unit for the symbol's swap mode: points, a currency (base, margin or account currency), percent per year, or "reopen". When swaps are disabled or both are zero it shows "Swap: none". - Triple swap day,

Lot Size Script answers one question before a trade: how many lots can I open so that hitting my stop loss costs exactly the risk I chose? Drop it on a chart, fill in two numbers and read the answer. How it works - Risk is a percent of balance, a percent of equity, or a fixed amount in the account currency. - The stop loss is a distance in points or a stop-loss price. A price on the wrong side of the entry is rejected with a clear message. - The entry is the current ask (buy) or bid (sell) of t

Trade History Exporter is a script that saves your account's trading history to CSV files, so you can study your own results in Excel, Google Sheets or Python. It only reads history. What it writes (in MQL5\Files\DinexHistory\, via File → Open Data Folder) - Deals file, one row per deal: ticket, time, symbol, type (buy, sell, balance, commission …), entry (in, out, reverse, close by), volume, price, commission, swap, fee, profit, magic number, position ID and comment. - Positions file (optional
