Hi, found indicators in google that show me account leverage, but not one that shows me leverage for the pair....they will always show me account leverage, no matter what pair i add them. there are pairs, like gold, that have leverage that differ from account leverage.
anybody got something for me?

You need a little piece of code like in the attachment to get an output like shown in the two tiny comment lines under the symbol name. It shows the pair's leverage (the value in braces after MarginRequired) and the account's leverage. Unfortunately I cannot give away the full indicator but you should get the idea and know how to use it.
The indicator is written for MT4 build 509 and lower, if you experience problems compiling it, try the ex4 file directly.

emmzett- Did you update your indicator for build 600? I'm also looking for a simple way to view pair specific leverage. Thanks in advance.

capoeira- Did his indicator work for you? It won't load on my platform.

For some reason I didn't subscribe to this thread, so I forgot it. Further I have no idea what I was thinking 10 years ago when I wrote "...unfortunately I cannot give away the full indicator...". Of course everything written by me is always open-source and free. So here is an updated version I still use today.

Put all files from the attached ZIP file into their respective folders (indicator, libraries and scripts) and restart your terminal (use the compiled versions, sources are added for documentation only). Then load the indicator onto a chart of your choice. The first time you will get an alert message saying something like "Trade server timezone configuration not found". Execute the config script contained in the "scripts" folder. It will open 3 editor windows with the config files of my framework, which in your case will all be empty. Go to the editor window with the "global-config.ini" and add a timezone definition for your broker like in the following screenshot.

The first term (before the equal "=" character) is either your full trade server name or only the first word of it (from begin to the first minus "-" character). Nowadays your timezone id will be most probably "FXT" (Eastern European time with daylight saving time transitions of New York).

Some explanations regarding the used abbreviations:

punit: A "p-unit" (price unit) is an invention of mine and means "pip-or-point-unit". The idea is to make values better readable/understandable across different instrument classes.

  1. For Forex a "punit" is always a typical "pip", e.g. 3.4 punits for EURUSD are 0.00034.
  2. For indexes, futures, commodities, metals, oil, crypto etc. a "punit" is a "full point" of the quote currency (not to be confused with the MetaQuotes definition of a Point), e.g. 3.4 punits for the DAX are 3.40 index points.

This way price distances for all instruments can be expressed in a more readable, understandable and normalized way. For example I can define a TP/SL for both DAX and EURUSD as 3.4 punits and it just works.

TxV: transaction volume, used mainly for crypto brokers who charge variable commissions for market or limit orders, calculated as a percentage of the traded volume.

It takes blood, sweat and enough tears to wash away the blood.

Hi thanks very much! To be honest I never saw what you posted 10 years ago, but you are very helpful and it's appreciated!

You probably tried launching it over the weekend and/or on a symbol in which the quotes are not being updated.
Otherwise the EA is working just fine on the latest MT4 builds.

Sorry, not yet. All my indicators depend on the MT4Expander which is 32bit, and that's not compatible with MT5 (64bit). I do have plans for an MT5 version but I'm not yet there. The required work and time is significant.

There have been some bugs in the previous version. Here is an update:

ps: In between the GitHub repository provides prebuild binaries of all MQL4 sources. Each build has a download link at the bottom.
