GearStick Manual and Semi Auto Trade Panel

You drive, GearStick shifts the gears.

GearStick is a trade panel for MetaTrader 5. It doesn't try to predict the market. You choose the direction, and GearStick handles the routine work: it adds positions on pullback candles, manages take profit and stop loss, and closes the basket together. Every action is one click away, and you can take full manual control at any moment.

It works on any symbol your broker offers: forex, gold, indices and crypto.


HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick a direction. Press BUY or SELL. GearStick opens a trade right away and arms that direction.
2. It adds on pullbacks. While BUY is armed, each candle that closes red on the signal timeframe (M1, M5 or M15) opens another BUY. SELL works the same way on green candles. You are always adding in your direction, never chasing.
3. It exits together. Each trade has its own TP and optional SL. You can also close everything at a floating profit target, or let the Common Close Point pull the whole basket's TP to the average entry so the basket closes as one.
4. You can step in at any time. Pause, switch direction, enable both directions, or close only the winners or only the losers with one click.

Want to trade fully manually? Turn AUTO SIGNALS off. The BUY/SELL and grid buttons keep working, and no automatic entries are opened.


PANEL BUTTONS

- BUY / SELL: market order and arm that direction
- BOTH DIRECTIONS: arm buy and sell together; click again to lock
- PAUSED / RUNNING: stop or resume new entries (open trades are still managed)
- AUTO SIGNALS ON/OFF: turn candle-signal entries on or off
- BUY GRID / SELL GRID: place a ladder of stop orders above or below price in one click
- DELETE ALL ORDERS, DEL BUY ORD., DEL SELL ORD.: clear pending orders, all or by side
- BREAKEVEN: move SL to entry plus a small buffer on every open trade
- CLOSE PROFITABLE / CLOSE LOSING / CLOSE ALL: filtered basket close

Each close, breakeven and delete button can act only on GearStick's own trades, or on every trade on the symbol (manual trades and other EAs). This is set per button.


RISK CONTROLS

- Lot mode: fixed lot, or a percentage of equity based on the stop loss distance
- Optional stop loss on every trade (market and grid)
- Close all and pause at a maximum floating loss (equity protection)
- Close all at a floating profit target
- Maximum number of open trades
- Spread filter for new entries
- Daily no-trade windows, entered in GMT and converted to your broker's time automatically
- Circuit breaker: pauses new entries after repeated broker rejections, so it never floods your broker with requests
- Checks for broker minimum stop distance, symbol volume limits and free margin before an order is sent


INFO PANEL

Shows status, direction, lot/TP/SL, open trades per side, pending orders, common TP state, floating P/L, balance and equity in your account currency, today's gross profit and loss, spread and time-filter status. The panel corner, offsets and background are all adjustable.


TRY IT IN THE STRATEGY TESTER

Run the demo in visual mode. The panel buttons are clickable in the tester, so you can try every feature before you buy.


GOOD TO KNOW

- Pips: on 5- and 3-digit symbols 1 pip = 10 points. On gold (XAU/GOLD) 1 pip = 0.10, so 100 pips is a $10 price move.
- In Risk % mode each trade risks the set percentage. With 10 trades open at 1%, total risk is about 10%. Size your Max open trades setting with this in mind.
- GearStick is a tool. It does not promise profits, and automatic entries follow the direction you choose. Use a stop loss or the max-loss protection on live accounts.
- One chart per symbol is recommended. Use a different Magic number if you run several copies on the same symbol.
