Vertical Margin
- Indicadores
- Versão: 2.13
Vertical Margin is a lightweight MT5 chart scaling utility for MetaTrader 5 that adds configurable vertical space above and below the visible price action.
It improves the standard MT5 auto-scale behavior by keeping additional chart margin around the highest and lowest visible candles. This makes the chart easier to read, analyze and draw on without constantly adjusting the price scale manually.
The indicator automatically recalculates the vertical margin when you zoom, scroll or change the visible chart area.
Key Features
- Configurable vertical chart margin above and below visible price action
- Automatic MT5 chart scaling based on visible candles
- Margin defined as a percentage of the visible price range
- Automatically recalculates after zooming, scrolling or chart navigation
- Works with any symbol and timeframe

- Lightweight MT5 chart utility with no unnecessary plots or chart objects
Manual Price Scale
Vertical Margin does not prevent manual chart scaling.
Drag the price scale to set your preferred vertical view. The indicator respects the manual scale instead of immediately overriding it.
To return to the configured automatic margin, simply double-click the price axis.
Keyboard Shortcut
The indicator can be enabled or disabled instantly.
Default: Shift + V
Available shortcut options:
- Disabled
- V
- Shift + V
- Ctrl + V
- Alt + V

When Vertical Margin is disabled, the chart returns to MT5 native auto-scale behavior with no additional vertical margin.
Input Parameters

Simple MT5 Chart Control
