MT4 Trade Condition Indicator/Dashboard

Hey all,

I'm looking for an indicator or dashboard that would indicate which open trades are at BE or better and which not.

Would be great if dashboard style with all open trades on one chart.

Thanks

You mean like iExposure?

I think it's included by default in a lot of MT4 setups from most popular brokers.

EDIT: here, let me burn away some demo dollars to show you what it looks like

What I'm referring to is a dashboard or indicator that would tell you at a glance which orders had their stops set to BE or better and which not.

example: You have a strategy that keeps orders open for a long time. I might have 70 orders open on different pairs. On each pair I move s/l to BE as soon as practical and before I open any new orders.

It gets cumbersome scrolling through the order terminal and figuring which trades have in fact been moved to BE...especially if I've slept since my last visit...

So an indicator which just told me at a glance..."Hey you have such and such order on such and such pairs with stops below BE.

I actually think I saw one of these some time back (before I needed it) and now can't find it.

Is this what you are looking for?
I'm sure needs more added to it but rather than post the indicator let me see if this is close.

I think this is on the right track. However the trick comes when you may have multiple trades open on the same pair, some at BE, some not. The dashboard would need to show each of these trades separately.

See both USDCHF entries. This was something I was sure had to be that way.
I didn't know if you wanted Order ID, Date or what else you want.

My bad. I missed that. ID's would definitely be a big plus.

Cyber,

Works awesome! I'm just waiting for one of my trades to hit BE to watch it change.

Many thanks.

Cyber. Quick question. What happens as open order increase to say 30 or 40. Will the indi just scroll them or add new columns?

Thanks,

Its only one column. I've though about 2 but unless you need it I was not going to do it.
Another thought was to only list those trades that are not set to B/E. Once set to B/E they automatically drop off the list.

LMK soon as I spotted a few minor issues and will upload a new version soon. It would be preferable it do all at once.

I think you're right about only showing the non-BE trades. At least for my needs that would be plenty. Would make it easier to fit on charts too.

One other possible issue I noticed. How's it set to update. Does it do it based on new candle on the TF?

It updates on each tick. Or at least it will once I upload the new version.
As soon as you set to B/E it will drop off the list.

Fixed a few minor issues.
Changed to only list those trades that are less than B/E. As soon as you set to B/E it will drop off the list.

Strange. Put it on two different accounts, same broker. It's working on one and on the other it doesn't show any pairs. The first version worked on both.

I'll have to play around with it.

Works fine on Alpari but not IBFX.
Until I get it resolved use this version. It has a few things that have been updated, but displays X's and 0's for B/E
