DCA Buddy: Advanced Price Visualiser
Take control of your multi-position trading with DCA Buddy, an advanced indicator for MetaTrader 5. It provides a clear and accurate visualisation of the average break-even price for all your open trades on the current chart symbol. This powerful tool goes beyond simple averages, correctly handling both one-sided and complex hedged scenarios, and features a sophisticated alert system to notify you precisely when your net position achieves its goals.
Core Functionality & Key Features:
-
1. Precision Break-Even Calculation:
- Calculates the weighted average break-even price for straightforward scenarios (all buys or all sells).
- Expertly computes the net break-even price for hedged positions, showing the exact level where your combined buy and sell trades for the symbol result in zero profit/loss.
- Fee Inclusion: Optionally includes Swaps and Commissions in the calculation for true net break-even accuracy using our high-precision solver.
-
2. Target & Recovery Visualisation:
- Target Profit Line: Set a monetary goal (e.g., +100 units) and DCA Buddy will draw a line exactly where your basket hits that profit.
- Recovery/Loss Line: Set an acceptable loss level (e.g., -100 units) to visualize your exit or "recovery" point on the chart.
- Terminal-Native Solver: Uses the MT5 OrderCalcProfit engine to ensure the lines perfectly match your broker's profit calculations, even on non-USD accounts.
-
3. Multi-Currency Optimization:
- Dynamic Tick Value Handling: Automatically adjusts for accounts in EUR, GBP, JPY, etc., by fetching live tick values.
- Zero Drift: Unlike simpler indicators, DCA Buddy accounts for fluctuating exchange rates on cross-currency pairs, keeping your lines stable and accurate.
-
4. Comprehensive Information Label:
- Displays a detailed text label in your chosen chart corner, providing at-a-glance insights:
- The calculated Break-Even Price.
- Current Net Volume and Direction.
- Target and Recovery prices with their corresponding monetary values.
- Live Fee tracking (Swaps + Commissions).
- Smart Anchoring: The label intelligently adjusts its internal text anchor based on the selected chart corner, ensuring it remains fully visible.
