ATR Long Box Anchor MT5 is a visual risk-reward indicator for MetaTrader 5, specifically designed for planning long setups. The indicator creates an ATR-based long box directly on the chart, including entry, stop-loss zone, take-profit zone, and optional risk-reward information.
The indicator works with a freely movable anchor point. This anchor defines the desired entry price and the candle whose ATR value is used for the calculation. This allows a long setup to be planned quickly, flexibly, and visually cleanly.
Main FunctionAfter loading the indicator, an anchor point appears on the chart. This anchor can be moved freely.
The price of the anchor is used as the entry.
The candle on which the anchor is placed determines the ATR calculation.
Based on these values, the indicator automatically calculates:
Entry price
ATR of the anchor candle
Stop loss below the entry
Take profit above the entry
Risk distance
Risk-reward ratio
Visual risk and reward zones
The red zone shows the risk area from the entry to the stop loss.
The green zone shows the potential target area from the entry to the take profit.
The white dotted line marks the entry.
The indicator uses an ATR-based risk distance.
The stop loss is calculated as follows:
Stop Loss = Entry − ATR × ATR Multiplier
The take profit is calculated as follows:
Take Profit = Entry + Risk Distance × Risk-Reward Ratio
This allows the box to automatically adjust to the current market volatility.
Interactive Risk-Reward LabelsThe indicator includes a clear click-based system for displaying additional information.
When clicking on the long box, three information boxes appear:
Target Box
Displays the take-profit price, the percentage distance from the entry, and the risk-reward ratio.
Entry Box
Displays the entry, ATR, and risk-reward ratio.
Stop Box
Displays the stop-loss price, the percentage distance from the entry, and the absolute risk distance.
When clicking freely on the chart again, the information boxes are automatically hidden. This keeps the chart clean and ensures that additional information is only displayed when needed.

The indicator is especially useful for traders who want to plan long setups in a structured way. Through the ATR-based calculation, risk is not set randomly but adjusted to the current volatility of the market.
This helps evaluate setups more clearly, estimate potential target areas more realistically, and display the risk-reward ratio directly on the chart.
The indicator is an analysis and planning tool. It does not open trades automatically and does not generate independent buy or sell signals. The final trading decision always remains with the user.
Trading carries a high level of risk and may lead to financial losses. This indicator is a visual planning and analysis tool only. It does not provide financial advice, does not open trades automatically, and does not guarantee profits or future results.
All trading decisions, risk management, and position sizing remain the full responsibility of the user. Use this tool at your own risk and only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
