Atlas Trade Desk

Atlas Trade Desk MT5

Atlas Trade Desk MT5 is a visual trade panel, risk manager and lot calculator for manual MetaTrader 5 traders.

Plan market and pending orders directly on the chart, calculate position size from your selected risk, adjust Entry, Stop Loss and Take Profit visually, and manage open positions from one clean dashboard.

The tool is built for discretionary traders who want faster order preparation, clearer risk control and safer position management without switching between multiple MT5 windows.

Atlas Trade Desk MT5 does not generate trading signals, does not trade automatically according to a strategy and does not make profit promises.

Visual Trade Planning Directly on the Chart

Atlas Trade Desk MT5 displays three important price levels directly on the chart:

• Blue line: Entry price
• Red line: Stop Loss
• Green line: Take Profit

The projected risk and reward zones are shown directly on the chart. Chart labels display distance, planned risk, potential reward and the current risk/reward ratio.

The Stop Loss and Take Profit lines can be dragged with the mouse.

For pending orders, the Entry line can also be moved. When the Entry line is moved, Stop Loss and Take Profit move in parallel to preserve the planned trade structure.

For market orders, the Entry price follows the current quote automatically.

Risk and Lot Calculation

The order volume is calculated from the selected risk and the Stop Loss distance. The calculation uses the broker's symbol information and respects minimum volume, maximum volume and volume step.

Available risk bases:

• Balance: Percentage of the account balance
• Equity: Percentage of the account equity
• Free margin: Percentage of free margin
• Cash amount: Fixed amount in the account currency

The lot calculator can be disabled at any time to enter the volume manually.

PLAN Tab

The PLAN tab contains all functions required to prepare a new order.

Direction

• BUY: Creates a buy plan
• SELL: Creates a sell plan

Order Type

• MARKET: Opens a position at the current market price
• LIMIT: Places a Buy Limit or Sell Limit order
• STOP: Places a Buy Stop or Sell Stop order

Risk Plan

• LOT CALC ON: Calculates volume automatically from risk and Stop Loss
• LOT CALC OFF: Allows manual volume entry

• TARGET PTS: Take Profit distance in points

MANAGE Tab

The MANAGE tab displays the number of positions and pending orders for the current chart symbol.

Atlas Trade Desk MT5 manages only orders and positions matching the current symbol and the configured Magic Number.

Position Actions

• CLOSE BUY: Closes managed buy positions
• CLOSE SELL: Closes managed sell positions
• CLOSE ALL: Closes all managed positions
• DELETE PENDING: Deletes managed pending orders
• MOVE SL TO BE: Moves eligible Stop Loss levels to breakeven

Partial Close

• PARTIAL CLOSE %: Defines the percentage to close
• CLOSE PART: Closes the selected percentage of eligible positions

The function supports hedging and netting accounts. The volume is normalized to the allowed broker lot step.

Breakeven

• BE OFFSET PTS: Defines an optional distance from the entry price

The Stop Loss is moved only when it improves the position protection and respects broker rules.

Point-Based Trailing Stop

• START AFTER PTS: Profit threshold before trailing starts
• DISTANCE PTS: Distance between the current price and Stop Loss
• TRAIL ON / TRAIL OFF: Enables or disables the trailing stop

After a restart, the trailing stop remains disabled for safety and must be enabled again manually if required.
