Components

Risk-Based Execution EA

An on-chart execution panel that eliminates manual lot-size calculation.

• Bidirectional sizing: enter a risk amount (in currency) to get a lot size, or enter a lot size to see the implied risk
• Draggable stop-loss line synchronized in real time with a numeric input field — drag to adjust, the lot size updates instantly
• One-click Buy / Sell buttons and a collapsible UI panel
• Slippage buffer, tick-size snapping, and broker stops-level enforcement built in
• Full English / Italian localization

On-chart execution panel with interactive position sizing and stop-loss controls.

Live Demo

Live execution showing realized loss and take-profit matching the EA's risk/reward computations, including the 3% slippage buffer.

Portfolio Analytics Engine

Reads the MT5 deal history and displays a full performance dashboard on the chart. Computes 19 metrics across 4 grouping modes.

Metrics: win rate, profit factor, risk-reward ratio, expectancy, total return, max drawdown (% and monetary), annualized Sharpe ratio, mean return, return standard deviation, gross profit, gross loss, net profit, average win, average loss, starting and final equity.

Grouping modes — all metrics can be broken down by:

• Full portfolio
• Asset / symbol
• Long vs. short
• Day of week

Date range and starting equity are editable directly on the chart without reopening the inputs dialog. Recalculation runs on load and on a configurable daily schedule.

Full-portfolio dashboard with drawdown, Sharpe, and return statistics.

Long vs. short breakdown — separate profitability and efficiency metrics per direction.

Day-of-week analysis to surface session and time-pattern effects.

Per-symbol decomposition with individual return, drawdown, and Sharpe.

Multi-Curve Equity Indicator

A subwindow indicator that plots equity curves alongside the price chart — up to 20 curves simultaneously, one per asset, direction, or weekday group.

• Each curve color-coded with an auto-generated legend in the subwindow
• Reads CSV files exported by the analytics EA — self-configuring when grouping mode changes
• Timestamps mapped to bar positions via iBarShift, so curves stay aligned across any timeframe
