Maybe just input the name it represents. Also its green apart from the rest which is white accept for profits which changes color (red/green) maybe since it's not important it should stay as white

Just to be clear, the 10 is not Slippage but your spread preference.
3 is the market spread.
Yeah maybe you're right, it isn't important to have it flash.

yousername,

My suggestion on having compact interface. My suggestion for each module :

Screen Panel should have

Money Manage,
Plot,
Execute,
Order Manage

1. Money Manage:
Contract value to trade: 1k/10k/100k
Accounting Currency: US/EUR/Stg
Open Price: Market value
1 Pip value: (calculated by above three factors)

How much to trade: % of Equity (to calculate total pips that can be used and for lots)
Total No of pips to trade: xxxx (based on % of equity) or calculated manually and input.
Total quantity of lots that can be traded (based on total no of pips available)
Equity Risk Stop: XXX pips

The information will be printed as text on any selected corner of the screen.

Plot sets up hypothetical /virtual order lines, calculates risk/reward and allows drag and drop moving of lines to desired Pending Order placement.

Execute converts plotted lines into pending orders. Execute can be treated as a trigger Button for later stages as well to activate any embedded or indicator supplied strategy with its own Magic Number by adding an indicator trigger option.

Manage shows the progress of the trade , drawdown, trailing loss/profit, breakeven, facilitates adding or decreasing lots to manage drawdown and lower breakeven.
Ideal is by way of a moving shadow between Entry Average Price and Market Price. ALERT should trigger push notification on selection of pips drawdown, breakeven, proft/loss levels etc as desired by the user.

Plot (for news events or future planned days)

Direction: Up, Down, Both

Time-based: yes or no.

Both direction and timebased Yes selection will set up straddle (up and down) lines with different TP, and different SL for each direction and OCO (one cancels other order type). Time : start and end (2 SEPARATE INPUTS) : DD: HH: MM:SS. Trade expiry: XXX minutes after Start. tOTAL 3 INPUTS FOR TIMEBASED ORDER

Use Risk/Reward Lines (pips): Yes or No. Yes will show Market Price as default value and with an option to change the price level and open one line above market price/intended price and another below market price/intended price as per Risk in pips distance. Drag and Drop Lines to change Risk Reward will be ideal.

Do you want to set up straddle or individual trade or grid: Stradle or Invidividual selection will jump to set up lines.
Push Execute button ONLY when you want to convert the lines displayed into Pending Order.

Execute will convert lines into Pending orders with TP and SL.

Plot (for directional trading)

direction: Up, down, Both

Time-based: No will show up Grid selection will ask for grid styles as per direction selected. Grid Style will be final selector. One grid style can be for UP direction, Second for Down and third one for BOTH directions.

If selected Both direction, Up and down grids should not have fixed TP and SL. Both should have flexibility with varying TP and SL inputs.
Not necessary to fill grid trades individually with TP and SL.

If selected both, Up direction can have grid of say 6 grids at a distance of 10 pips each with its own lots, TP and SL and at the same time Down direction can have
3 grids at a distance of 8 pips each with its own lots , TP and SL in the same single grid style.

Panel should be able to display all major inputs (excepting perhaps grid style inputs on pips distance, lot quantity, SL and TP etc) on the screen itself.

Alerts: proper planning of push mail/email alert messages will help save a lot of screen watching time. VERY VITAL IF MOBILE PHONE TRADING IS DESIRED.

Thanks

I hope some time this month or next couple of month.
Traders will only care about making their own signal and feed it into FG.
Let FG trade and follow the money management that you set i.e. R:R, Breakeven etc.

I'm thinking the signal value that can be fed to FG will be the following
1 = buy
0 = neutral
-1 = sell
11 = close order/grid
1111 - buy using grid 111
1110 - sell using grid 111
1011 - buy using grid 101
1010 - sell using grid 101
1101 - buy using grid 110
1100 - sell using grid 110

FG new command, just an idea FG_CUSTOM SIGNAL_MQL4 FILE PATH_CUSTOM INDI's SET FILE PATH_SIGNAL INDEX_#x The comment above allows traders to have their own custom signal and can be run on AUTOMATIC mode
This will be an important upgrade, running different strategy test for the evolution of FG working as a team saves many screen hours.

When this feature come, I will license the EA and only selected few who are willing to be open and share the result to any one in the group.
So this will be private to contributor. Only the chosen people will gain the privilege. That's the plan.
