XPro Trade Panel — Full Trade Management Panel for MT5/MT4 - sistema esperto per MetaTrader 5

A trade panel that lives on the chart and takes the keyboard out of the way. Buy and sell buttons with the lot calculated as fixed size or as a percent of balance, stop loss and take profit typed as a price or as a distance in points, and a price reference you can switch between bid and ask. Works on Gold (XAUUSD), forex and indices, on MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4 from the same source file.

Once positions are open the panel manages them: close all buys, close all sells, move the stop to breakeven, close everything, modify stop and target of the open trades or close a part of them. Pending orders are placed by clicking the chart, a line follows the mouse until you confirm the level, and the same panel deletes them. An optional switch lets it touch trades opened by hand or by other EAs.

It is management, not a signal system. The panel remembers its position between sessions, uses its own magic number for what it opens and works inside the strategy tester in visual mode, which is the right place to learn the buttons before touching a live account.

Update v1.1 (October 2026): header and documentation rewritten, link to my MQL5 channel for updates, community input removed from the panel inputs. Buttons and logic unchanged.

Settings

• Risk calculation mode: fixed lots or percentage of balance.
• SL / TP mode: type a price or a distance in points from the open price.
• Price reference for SL and TP: normal (bid for sell, ask for buy), inverted, only ask or only bid.
• Maximum slippage (points), Expert Magic number and Modify trades from other EAs: off by default, turn it on when you want the panel to manage manual trades or another EA's positions.
• Buttons: eight switches to show or hide each group, buy and sell, close buys and sells, breakeven and close all, modify SL and TP, partial close, pending orders, delete pending orders, trade comment editor.
• Display: pick the stop loss by dragging the crosshair in distance mode, font size, automatic take profit from a stop loss ratio, automatic stop loss when the take profit changes, asynchronous orders.

How to use it

Compile it in MetaEditor (F7) and drag it onto the chart you want to trade with Algo Trading enabled. Type the lot or the risk percent, type the stop and the target, press Buy or Sell. For a pending order press the pending button, click the chart at the level you want and confirm. Drag the panel by its title bar, it stays where you leave it. On MT4 compile the same file as .mq4.

Make it yours

The panel is built on the standard Controls library (CAppDialog, CButton, CEdit), so adding a button is a matter of copying one of the existing groups. Natural additions are a close by profit button, a risk in money field, one click hedging of the current position or a hotkey layer. It pairs well with my Basket Pair Closer when you run grids, and with any indicator you use for entries, Smart Money Concepts or support and resistance included.
