FAT PANEL - MetaTrader 5 Expert | MT5 EA Download - MetaTrader 5 Resources

This graphical panel allows automated manual trading. It has many features, including visual construction of trading strategies.

Automated trading is very popular among traders. But not all traders are programmers, and creating Expert Advisors with certain trading strategies requires knowledge of basic programming skills in MQL5. Visual panels can simplify trading operations, however, the implementation of simple trading algorithms requires writing code or finding a programmer who will implement the algorithm.

The First Algorithmic Trading (FAT) Panel 0.2 allows you to create automated trading strategies without writing code.

FAT Panel 0.2 has a convenient user interface: tabs with visualization tools, properties window, checkboxes, radio buttons, scrolling and zooming.

Extract archive contents to client folder. Open MetaEditor (press F4 in the terminal) and compile the indicator located in MQL5/indicators/fatpanel and the Expert Advisor located in MQL5/Experts/fatpanel. Attach Expert Advisor to the chart (DLL allowed).

Create a trading algorithm:

The simplest trading scheme can be created using 4 logical blocks. To add a logical block to the workspace, you click on the block and then click on the specified location on the workspace. Let's add the "Buy" block in the "Behavior" tab, the "MA" and "Bid" blocks in the "Signals" tab, and the ">" block in the "Actions" tab.

It looks like this:

Now it's time to connect the blocks.

If you click on the block, you will see a blue rectangle, which means the block is selected. Now you can move it anywhere in your workspace. If you drag a block onto another block it will try to connect them automatically. Let's connect the signal block with the ">" action block and the action block with the order block.

All logic blocks have inputs and outputs, wrong connections between blocks are impossible. To delete a block, you need to select it and click on the "Delete" button. To configure block properties, click on it when selected (or double-click on an unselected logic block).

Let's set the "">" block parameters.

Let's set tp=120 and sl=60 for the "buy" block. After that let's enable the program to work. If you enable AutoTrading, the Expert Advisor will start trading.

attention! It is not recommended to test the working of EA trading on a real account!

In our example, the Expert Advisor will place an order if the distance between the moving average and the buy price is higher than 200 points.

Historical backtesting :

To test the strategy on historical data, you need to save the scenario by clicking the "Save" button.

Next, select "Fatpanel/FatPanel.ex5" in the client's strategy tester. The ticker and period are not important, the Expert Advisor will trade based on the strategy ticker specified in the order block or timer.

Now it's time to see the results of the strategy. If we specify 300 instead of 200 in the action block of the scenario, the result looks like this (2010):

The Charts tab provides information about symbols and open positions and allows manual trading.
