Equity Drawdown Monitor - MetaTrader 5용 지표

Most panels show the balance. This one shows what the account is going through right now: how far the equity is from its peak, how deep it has been, what was closed today, this week and this month, and which Expert Advisor is carrying the open result.

The panel at work in preview mode, with sample data: opening, live figures, collapse and expand

The panel is drawn on a canvas with antialiased shapes and smooth transitions. The gauge sweeps to its value, the figures count up and down as the account moves, and the equity line updates every second. A button in the header folds the panel into a slim bar that keeps the drawdown and the floating result in view, and the panel can be dragged anywhere on the chart by its header. The indicator is read-only: it reads account data and draws the panel, all inside the terminal. The code is a single file and uses only the standard Canvas library.

What the panel shows

• Gauge: the drawdown from the equity peak, as a percentage. The arc turns from green to amber to red as it fills. The small white dot on the rim marks the deepest drawdown recorded so far.
• Account: equity, balance, the floating result in money and as a signed percentage of the balance, and the deepest drawdown from peak.
• Closed result: today, this week (from Monday) and this month, in server time. Swap, commission, fee and the charges booked by the broker are included.
• Live equity: the equity of the last two and a half minutes, one sample per second.
• One line per magic number: open positions, total lots, floating result and closed result of the month, with the heaviest line first. Manual trades are listed as "manual". The bar under each line shows its weight against the others.

How the peak works

The peak starts from the equity at the moment the indicator is first attached, and it rises every time the equity makes a new high. It is stored in the global variables of the terminal, one set per account and server, so it survives restarts and timeframe changes. Bonus credit is left out of the calculation.

Deposits and withdrawals are recognised from the deal history and rescale the peak, so the drawdown percentage is the same before and after the transfer: a withdrawal is counted as a transfer and the drawdown figure stays clean.

Inputs

• Distance from the left edge / top edge: starting position of the panel, in pixels. After that the panel remembers where it was dragged.
• Panel size, percent: scales the whole panel; it also follows the DPI of the screen.
• Lines in the magic number table: how many magic numbers are listed (default 6).
• Accent color: the color of the light on the panel.
• Start collapsed: opens the panel as a bar the first time.
• Full scale of the gauge, %: 0 lets the gauge choose a round scale above the deepest drawdown seen.
• Alert when drawdown from peak reaches, %: 0 turns the alert off. One alert per account, also with several charts open.
• Restart the peak from the current equity: set to true once, then back to false.
• Preview with sample data: shows the panel at work before the first trade. The animation above was recorded in this mode.
