MTF Channel Panel is a visual multi-timeframe panel for MetaTrader 5 that summarizes channel behavior and allows optional channel drawing for each timeframe without overloading the chart.
Instead of forcing the trader to view multiple channels at the same time, this indicator organizes the most important information into a clean and easy-to-read panel. Each timeframe is reduced to three essential elements: direction, angle, and price position inside the projected channel. In addition, each row includes an ON/OFF control that allows the user to draw or remove the channel for that specific timeframe directly from the panel.
The purpose of this panel is to help traders evaluate market context in seconds. With one quick look, it becomes easier to see whether several timeframes are aligned, whether the move has enough slope and structure, and whether price is in a favorable location inside the channel or already too extended.
This approach reduces visual noise and supports faster chart reading. The key information is immediately available without filling the chart with overlapping objects or constantly switching between timeframes. When more detail is needed, the trader can activate the channel of any individual timeframe directly from the panel.
A practical advantage of the indicator is its chart-friendly design. The panel can be hidden with a button whenever the trader wants to keep the chart clean and continue with a manual analysis. This makes the indicator a useful decision-support tool that remains available when needed and stays out of the way when not.
What the panel shows
Direction: shows the current channel bias for each timeframe
Angle: shows the slope or inclination of the move

Notes
This indicator is designed as a decision-support tool. It does not open trades or execute automated operations. Its purpose is to help traders read market structure with less noise and more clarity.
The current version includes the channel-drawing feature. Channels can be enabled or disabled individually for each timeframe directly from the panel.
