Market Watch Panel MT4

This is a panel for market review and evaluation of multicurrency price movements. It shows main parameters for a user defined group of symbols in the form of a table. The following values are displayed:

• Symbol name;
• Ask price value;
• Bid price value;
• Spread size in pips;
• Stop level in pips - may be hidden by a user;
• Change of price in pips comparing to the day start;
• Current daily range (High - Low) in pips;
• Average daily range in pips for user defined number of days;
• Price change percentage during the specified time periods (timeframes).

Parameters

• Common Title - text displayed next to the panel minimization button. Its only purpose is to specify its name.
• Market Watch Instruments - the list of work instrument names. The names of the instrument must be separated with a comma. For example, EURUSD;GBPUSD.
• Instrument's Show Names - the list of the instrument names that should be displayed in the screen. You can use a custom name for an instrument as its original name can be too long and contain unnecessary information. The names of the instruments must be separated with a comma, and their position must match the position of the corresponding work instruments.
• Percent Change Time Frames - the list of periods (timeframes) the price change percentage is displayed for. It must be separated with a semicolon. For example, M5;H1;D1;W1 will display the percentage change for four timeframes (5 minute, hourly, daily and monthly). Price change is calculated as 100 * (Close - Open) / Open.
• Show Stop Level - show/hide the stops level. The notion of a stop level is not common for exchange symbols. Also, some modern dealing centers do not use this notion any more.
• Data Refresh Type - mode of updating the information on the screen. The following modes are available - Tick / Timer / Tick & Timer. In Tick & Timer mode, the information is updated at every tick of the instrument and according to a set time interval.
• Timer Interval in msec - the time interval for updating the information according to the timer (if selected in the previous parameter).
• Use EMA for Daily Average - use EMA average when calculating the average daily range. If set to No, the simple averaging will be used.
• Days Number for Daily Average - number of days for calculating the average daily range. Usually, it is set to 20 days, which approximately corresponds to one work month.
• Chart Corner - chart corner the panel will be located at (binding to the selected corner).
• Show Time Scale - show/hide the time scale on the current chart.
• Show Price Scale - show/hide price scale on the current chart.
• Background Color - background color for the panel.

There is a button that minimizes the information displayed. Once it is pressed, the panel will display only Ask/Bid price and current spread.
