USER GUIDE for “Manual Trade Panel – MQL5 version 1”.
Overview
Manual Trade Panel is a manual execution and management EA for MT5. It lets you place market/pending orders, see SL/TP
in both price and money, manage positions (partial closes, BE, trailing), and tag trades with your own Magic Number
and comment—all from one panel.
Installation
1. Copy the EA file into MQL5/Experts.
2. Attach the EA to any chart, allow Algo Trading.
3. If symbols are hidden, enable them in Market Watch so they show in the Symbol dropdown.

Panel layout & controls
- Symbol & Entry: Symbol dropdown; Position Size; Entry Price (leave blank for market, set a price for pending).
- Risk in $ and Price: Stop Loss ($/Price) and Take Profit ($/Price). Lines on chart mirror these values; drag lines
to update fields.

- Status & Info: Status line; Symbol/Bid/Ask; positions count & P/L for current symbol; total P/L (all symbols) with
color coding.
How to place orders
- Market: Leave Entry blank, set lot and SL/TP (in $ or price), click BUY or SELL.
- Pending: Fill Entry Price; set SL/TP; click BUY (creates buy limit/stop based on price vs ask) or SELL (sell limit/
stop based on price vs bid).
- SL/TP by money: Enter desired $ risk/target; price auto-calculates. Drag SL/TP lines to adjust visually; $ updates
accordingly.
Position management
- Partial closes: Use preset % or custom lots; respects “Apply to all symbols” toggle.
- Break Even: Moves SL to entry plus optional buffer.
- Trail: Activates fixed pip trailing using TrailStop_Pips.
- CH Trail: ATR x multiplier trailing with lookback; toggled by CH Trail button.
- Close buttons: Close All, Close Profit (only profitable), Close Loss (only losing); scope follows the all-symbols
toggle.
Tagging & tracking
- MagicNumber: Set per your strategy or keep 0 for manual-tagged trades(not done yet).
- OrderComment: Custom text to identify the originating strategy/tool.
Spread, slippage, and safety checks
- Spread guard: Blocks entries if spread exceeds MaxSpread_Pips.
- Slippage guard: Uses MaxSlippage_Pips (auto-adjusted to points).
- Stop-level validation: Ensures SL/TP are on the correct side of price and respect broker distance/freeze levels.
Chart interactions
- Horizontal lines: Entry, SL, TP. Drag to reposition; panel updates price/$ accordingly.
- Labels: Show price, $ risk/target, and % distance.
Persistence
- Saves last-used symbol, lot, SL/TP money to a settings file; auto-loads on next attach.
Tips for fast workflow
- Set your default lot and $ risk in inputs; then tweak only price or drag lines.
- Use BE + Trail combo: set BE buffer, hit Break Even after move, then enable Trail or CH Trail.
- For multi-symbol monitoring, keep “Apply to all symbols” off to avoid accidental closes elsewhere.
Testing / Validation
- Always test on demo first.
- If broker requires minimum distances, set reasonable SL/TP or leave them blank and adjust after fill.
- Keep MaxSpread_Pips realistic for the traded symbol.
