Crosshair for MT5
- Индикаторы
- Версия: 1.20
- Обновлено: 5 октября 2026
A magnet crosshair for MetaTrader 5. The crosshair snaps to candle prices, to the lines and rectangles you draw, and optionally to a moving average, so you can read exact levels without zooming in. It also includes an OHLC readout of the hovered bar, a distance ruler and a compact set of on-chart buttons.
The indicator does not open, close or manage trades. It is a charting and measurement tool.
Magnet crosshair
- Three magnet modes: Off, Weak (snaps only when the cursor is close to a level) and Strong (always snaps to the nearest level).
- Snaps to the Open, High, Low and Close of the hovered bar and, optionally, of neighbouring bars.
- Snaps to your own horizontal lines, trendlines (including rays) and rectangle edges.
- Optional snapping to a moving average with configurable period, method and applied price.
- Hold Ctrl to move the crosshair freely without the magnet.
- A price tag next to the crosshair shows the price and what it snapped to (O, H, L, C, Line or MA).
- Snapped and free-floating lines use separate colours and styles, so you always know when the crosshair is locked to a level.
- The vertical line is shown in all subwindows, so indicator values can be lined up with the price bar.
Bar readout
- Shows symbol, timeframe, bar time, Open, High, Low and Close of the bar under the cursor.
- Shows the bar range in pips or points and the percentage change from the previous close, coloured by direction.
- Updates live while hovering the current, still forming bar.
- Can be placed in any chart corner.
Ruler
- Shift+Click to start a measurement, move the mouse, and click again to fix it. A third click clears it.
- Can also be armed with the Ruler button or a hotkey.
- Shows the price distance in pips or points, the percentage move, the number of bars and the elapsed time.
- The ruler uses the magnet, so measurements can start and end exactly on candle highs, lows or your own levels.
- Esc clears the ruler at any time.
Controls
- Three on-chart buttons: Magnet (cycles Off / Weak / Strong), Cross (show or hide the crosshair) and Ruler.
- Hotkeys for the same actions. Default keys are Shift+M, Shift+X and Shift+R. Keys and the modifier can be changed.
- The buttons and readout can be placed in any corner. When they share a corner they are aligned to the same width.
- The magnet mode and crosshair on/off state are kept when you change the timeframe or symbol of the chart.
Appearance
- Colours adapt automatically to light and dark chart backgrounds. All colours can also be set manually.
- Clean, minimal on-chart text with rounded buttons.
- Scales with Windows display settings on high resolution screens.
- Configurable fonts and font size.
Compatibility
