Overview
Apex Trade Panel is a fully on-chart manual trading panel. It gives you precise control over every order you place, from lot sizing and stop-loss logic to trailing methods and batch close filters. All through a clean, resizable, dark/light-themed interface that sits directly on your chart. No menu diving, no repetitive calculations. Just clarity and speed.
Feature Breakdown
Position Sizing — Three Risk Modes
Cycle through three lot-sizing strategies with a single button click. The live lot value is always displayed in an editable field, adjustable via the +/- step buttons or by direct keyboard entry.
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Fixed Lots | Trade a constant lot size. Increment/decrement follows the symbol's volume step. |
| $ Risk | Risk a fixed dollar amount per trade. Lot size is auto-calculated from your SL distance. |
| % Balance | Risk a percentage of account balance. Lot size recalculates dynamically from your SL. |
Stop-Loss & Take-Profit — Five Distance Modes Each
SL and TP each have independently selectable distance modes. Cycle the mode button to switch, then adjust the value with +/- buttons or by typing directly.
| Mode | What You Enter |
|---|---|
| Points | Integer points from entry (e.g. 300). |
| Percent | Distance as a percentage of current price. |
| ATR | Multiplier of the ATR(14) indicator value. |
| Dollar | Risk a specific dollar amount — the panel converts it to price distance automatically. |
| Price | An absolute exit price level. |
A real-time hint line below each edit shows the mode name plus the expected dollar loss (SL) or gain (TP) for the current lot and distance.
Trailing Stop — Four Modes
Cycle the Trail button to choose your trailing method, then fine-tune the distance parameter with the +/- buttons or by typing directly.
| Mode | How It Trails |
|---|---|
| Off | No trailing applied. |
| Classic | Fixed point distance behind current price. Configurable step prevents micro-adjustments. |
| ATR | ATR × multiplier distance behind price. Adapts to volatility automatically. |
| Prev Bar | Locks the SL to the previous bar's Low (for longs) or High (for shorts). |
A minimum step input prevents the SL from being modified on every tick — it only moves when the improvement exceeds the step threshold.
Direction Toggle — Long / Short Preview
Tap the direction button to switch between Long and Short orientation. This instantly flips the SL/TP preview lines and switches the risk calculations to the appropriate side of price.
Trade Mode — Market or Limit/Stop
| Mode | How Orders Are Placed |
|---|---|
| Market | Buy/Sell buttons execute at current Ask/Bid immediately. |
| Lmt/Stp | Buy/Sell buttons place pending orders (Buy Stop, Buy Limit, Sell Stop, Sell Limit) at the draggable Entry line price. |
Preview Lines — Drag, Snap, Execute
Toggle Preview Lines to overlay three draggable horizontal lines on your chart:
- Entry (Blue) — only shown in Lmt/Stp mode; where the pending order triggers.
- Stop Loss (Red) — drag to set your SL visually.
- Take Profit (Green) — drag to set your TP visually.
The panel reads the line positions live. Dragging any line instantly updates the SL/TP edit fields (converted to your selected mode) and refreshes the risk display. When the lines are hidden, the panel still uses whatever values are in the edit fields.
One-Click Trade Execution
Two prominent buttons — BUY (blue) and SELL (red) — execute orders according to the current Trade Mode, Lot/Risk settings, and SL/TP distances. In Lmt/Stp mode, the tooltip updates to show you're placing a pending order.
Close Filters — Six Targeted Exit Actions
Six close buttons let you selectively flatten positions or cancel orders:
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| All | Close every open position on the chart symbol. |
| Buys | Close only long positions. |
| Sells | Close only short positions. |
| Profit | Close only positions currently in profit (including swap + commission). |
| Loss | Close only positions currently in loss. |
| Pending | Delete all pending orders on the symbol. |
OCO — One-Cancels-Other
When placing pending orders in Lmt/Stp mode, the panel automatically tags them with an OCO group identifier. If one order fills, its sibling is automatically cancelled. Toggle this behavior on/off in the inputs.
Information Panel — Live Account Snapshot
A real-time info block refreshes every second:
- Balance — current account balance.
- Equity — current account equity.
- P/L — floating profit/loss across all positions on this symbol.
- Open / Pend — count of open positions and pending orders.
- Lots — min/max lot size for the current symbol.
- PtVal — tick value.
- ATR(14) — current ATR reading (used by SL/TP/Trail modes).
- Clock — selectable between Local, Broker, or GMT time.
Dark / Light Theme
One-click theme toggle. All panel colors, text, buttons, and backgrounds switch between a dark UI palette and a light one.
Panel Scaling
Zoom the entire panel in or out using the − and + buttons. Scale values range from 0.70× to 1.50×. Preview lines and all object positions are preserved across rescales.
Screenshot
One-click chart screenshot saved to the MQL5/Files/ directory with a timestamped filename.
Symbol-Aware Every Tick
All calculations — lot rounding, stop-level validation, tick size/value, volume constraints — are fetched dynamically from the active symbol. Works across Forex, indices, commodities, and crypto CFDs.
