My journey into algorithmic trading was born from the same frustration many traders face: the battle against emotions and the risks of human error. Determined to master the markets, I transitioned from manual trading to deep-level MQL5 development, focusing on the volatility of Gold (XAUUSD). - Version: 1.0

QCL Trade Assistant is a trade panel and risk manager for MetaTrader 5. It lets you plan every trade directly on the chart with a visual Risk : Reward box, calculates the correct lot size from your risk percentage, and opens the trade with one click. After entry, it manages the position for you with split take-profit, automatic breakeven and five trailing stop modes.
The utility does not open trades on its own. You decide every entry; the assistant handles the calculations and the management.
ON-CHART RISK : REWARD PLANNER
- A clear Risk : Reward box is drawn on the chart: red zone from entry to stop loss, green zones to TP1 and TP2.
- Drag the SL, TP1 and TP2 lines with the mouse. Lot size, money at risk, reward and R:R update instantly.
- Every line shows its price, the amount in account currency and the R-multiple.
- Transparent zones: several trades on the same area blend together and stay readable.
- Executed trades stay on the chart as a faded box showing live profit, "SL to breakeven" and "TP1 hit", and are removed automatically when the trade closes.
- Local time with seconds and a countdown to the candle close are pinned next to the current price.
- Live spread monitor, colour-coded against your stop loss distance.
ONE-CLICK EXECUTION AND AUTO-FLIP
- Large BUY and SELL buttons with live Bid and Ask and the planned lot size.
- Switch direction without extra buttons: drag the stop loss above the price for a SELL plan, below the price for a BUY plan. TP1 and TP2 mirror automatically.
- FLIP and RESET buttons on the chart.
- Clicking the opposite button can mirror the plan and execute at once, or flip the plan first and wait for a second click (selected in the inputs).
- Market and pending orders. The pending type (Limit or Stop) is chosen automatically from the entry position.
- Optional hotkeys: B for Buy, S for Sell.
AUTOMATIC LOT SIZE CALCULATION
- Risk presets (0.5%, 1%, 2%) or any custom percentage, based on balance or equity.
- Reward presets (1:2, 1:3, 1:5) or any custom ratio.
- Stop loss by ATR, fixed points or the last swing high / low.
- Lot size uses the broker's own contract values and respects minimum, maximum and step volume.
- Works on Forex, metals, indices and crypto, including cent accounts.
SPLIT TAKE-PROFIT AND BREAKEVEN
- One click can open two positions with the same stop loss: one closes at TP1, the other runs to TP2.
- The share closed at TP1 is adjustable (default 50%).
- When TP1 is reached, the stop loss of the remaining position moves to breakeven plus a small offset.
TRAILING STOP (5 MODES)
- Off: the stop loss stays where you placed it.
- Breakeven: moves the stop to entry after the chosen profit.
- Step: moves the stop 1R for every 1R of profit.
- Lock %: keeps a chosen percentage of open profit.
- ATR: follows the price at a volatility-based distance.
- Trailing starts after a profit you choose (in R) and is measured from the original risk of each trade.
- Also manages trades opened manually or from the mobile terminal on the same symbol (optional).
POSITION MANAGEMENT
- List of open positions on the symbol with live profit, plus close half and close buttons on each row.
- Total volume and average breakeven price.
- Quick actions: Close All, Close 50%, Stop Loss to Breakeven, Reverse, Close Profitable, Delete Pending.
ACCOUNT PROTECTION

- Daily profit target alert.
- Spread filter: blocks a new trade when the spread is too large compared to the stop loss distance.
- Clear messages explain why a trade was blocked, including broker responses such as close-only symbols.

- Progress towards the daily target and the daily loss limit.
