&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🎯 What is Smart Money Concept?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Smart Money Concept (SMC) is a trading methodology focused on &lt;strong&gt;institutional behavior&lt;/strong&gt; rather than retail indicators.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It includes:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Market structure (HH, HL, LH, LL)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Liquidity zones&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Order Blocks (OB)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Break of Structure (BOS)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Change of Character (CHoCH)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fair Value Gaps (FVG)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This project visualizes all of these in a &lt;strong&gt;clean, modern trading interface&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Overview
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Session Highlighter is a visual trading tool focused on highlighting major market sessions directly on the chart.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It provides a clean and responsive interface to track:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;London session
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;New York session
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Asia session
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Session overlaps
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All rendered in real-time with a custom chart engine.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What It Does
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This project simulates a full session-based trading environment with visual feedback.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Module&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Session Engine&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Calculates and displays session time ranges&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Chart Renderer&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Custom candlestick + grid system&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Session Overlay&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Colors session zones directly on chart&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Overlap Detection&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Highlights London–NY overlap&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Live Price Feed&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Simulated real-time price movement&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Volume Layer&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Optional volume visualization&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;td&gt;Optional volume visualization&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;

&lt;td&gt;EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, etc.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Timeframes&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;td&gt;Toggle sessions and volume&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Session Logic
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each session is mapped to chart time blocks:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Asia → 00:00 – 09:00
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;London → 08:00 – 17:00
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;New York → 13:00 – 22:00
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Overlap → 13:00 – 17:00
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Overlap zones are automatically detected and highlighted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why Scalping?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Scalping is one of the fastest trading strategies, focused on capturing small price movements in very short timeframes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This project simulates that environment with:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Real-time data flow
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Instant signal execution
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Risk-based trade management
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why Risk Management?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most traders fail not because of strategy, but because of poor risk control.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This EA focuses on the core of professional trading:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed percentage risk&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Consistent position sizing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Controlled drawdown&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Emotion-free execution&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whether you trade manually or with automation, proper risk management is what keeps you in the game long term.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What It Does
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Risk Management EA&lt;/strong&gt; provides a full desktop interface to calculate and manage trades before execution:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;th&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Lot Size Calculation&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Automatically calculates correct lot size based on risk % and stop loss&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Risk Amount&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Shows exact dollar amount at risk per trade&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Reward Projection&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Calculates potential profit based on take profit&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Risk/Reward Ratio&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Displays real-time R:R (e.g. 1:2.0)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Pip Calculation&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Converts price distance into pips based on instrument&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;

&lt;li&gt;.NET 6+&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Visual Studio 2022
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="c"&gt;# Clone repository&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How to Use
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select trading pair (EURUSD, XAUUSD, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Choose BUY or SELL&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enter:

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Account balance&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Risk %&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Entry price&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Stop loss&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Take profit&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click &lt;strong&gt;CALCULATE&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Connect to platform (MT4 / MT5)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click &lt;strong&gt;OPEN TRADE&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Calculation Logic
&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Risk Amount = Balance × Risk %

Lot Size = Risk Amount / (Stop Loss Pips × Pip Value)

Reward = Lot Size × Take Profit Pips × Pip Value

R:R = Reward / Risk

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  📌 Overview
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Position Sizer MT5/MT4&lt;/strong&gt; is a risk management tool designed for traders who want precise control over every trade.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Instead of guessing lot sizes, the system calculates everything automatically based on your risk tolerance and setup.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Built with a modern desktop UI inspired by professional trading platforms.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  ⚙️ What It Does
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The application calculates optimal position sizing and visualizes trade risk in real time:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Metric&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Lot Size&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Automatically calculated based on risk and stop loss distance&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Risk Amount&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Exact dollar value at risk per trade&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Reward Amount&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Potential profit based on take profit level&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Risk/Reward Ratio&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Ratio between potential reward and risk&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Stop Distance&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Calculated in pips depending on instrument&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Pip Value&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Adjusted per symbol (Forex, Gold, JPY pairs)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  ✨ Features
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Feature&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Real-Time Calculation&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Instant updates when changing inputs&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Multi-Asset Support&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Forex pairs, Gold (XAUUSD), JPY pairs&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Risk Slider&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Fine-tune risk percentage interactively&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;BUY / SELL Modes&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Direction-based calculations&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Risk Meter&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Visual gauge showing current risk level&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Trade Simulation&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Simulate trade execution&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Trade History&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Track trades with results&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Live Price Feed&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Simulated real-time price&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Modern UI&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Clean dark trading dashboard&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🧩 Interface
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The application is structured into key sections:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sidebar — navigation and system overview
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Trade Parameters — balance, risk %, entry, SL, TP
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Results Panel — lot size, risk, reward, R:R
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Risk Meter — visual exposure gauge
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Trade History — executed trades
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🧠 Calculation Logic
&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Risk Amount = Account Balance × Risk %

Lot Size = Risk Amount / (StopLoss Pips × Pip Value)

Reward = Lot Size × TakeProfit Pips × Pip Value

R:R Ratio = Reward / Risk
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;






&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  📉 Risk Visualization
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The built-in &lt;strong&gt;Risk Meter&lt;/strong&gt; gives instant feedback:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Low Risk → below 1.5%
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Moderate Risk → 1.5% – 3%
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;High Risk → above 3%
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Helps prevent overexposure and poor risk decisions.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🚀 Quick Start
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Requirements:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 10 / 11
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;.NET 6+
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Visual Studio 2022
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;git clone https://github.com/your-username/position-sizer-mt5.git
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Run the project:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;F5
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;






&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  📖 How to Use
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enter account balance
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Set risk percentage
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Define entry, stop loss, take profit
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select BUY or SELL
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Review calculated values
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click OPEN TRADE to simulate
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Monitor results in history
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🎯 Designed for Trading

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fast and responsive
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why Volume Profile?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most MT5/MT4 traders rely on time-based indicators that tell you &lt;em&gt;when&lt;/em&gt; something happened. Volume Profile tells you &lt;em&gt;where&lt;/em&gt; the real trading activity is concentrated which price levels attracted the most volume, where institutions loaded positions, and where the market is likely to react again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you trade with SMC, ICT, or pure price action, Volume Profile is the missing layer.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What It Does
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Volume Profile MT5&lt;/strong&gt; renders a TradingView-style horizontal volume histogram directly on your MT5/MT4 chart and exposes all key levels through a dedicated desktop manager:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Level&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;POC — Point of Control&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;The single price level with the highest traded volume in the session&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;VAH — Value Area High&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Upper boundary of the zone where 70% of volume was traded&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;VAL — Value Area Low&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Lower boundary of the same 70% value area&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Value Area&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;The full high-volume zone between VAH and VAL — the institutional range&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Buy / Sell Split&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Each bar split into buy-side and sell-side volume for delta analysis&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Session Stats&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;High, low, range, and dominant side (buy vs sell) per trading session&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Live Price Feed&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Real-time price ticker with tick-by-tick updates from your connected MT5 account&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Multiple Profile Types&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Session, Fixed Range, Visible Range, and Daily profile modes&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;POC Line&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Dashed gold line across the chart marking the Point of Control&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Value Area Bands&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Dotted teal/red lines marking VAH and VAL with price labels&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Buy / Sell Split Mode&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Toggle to split each volume bar into buy-side (teal) and sell-side (red) delta&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Timeframe Selector&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Switch between M1, M5, M15, H1, H4, D1 without leaving the manager&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Key Levels Panel&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Live readout of POC, VAH, VAL, Value Area %, and total session volume&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Session Stats Panel&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Current session (London / New York / Tokyo), high, low, range, dominant side&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Levels Table&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Full sortable table of all VP levels with price, volume, buy %, sell %, and a visual distribution bar&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;MT5 Connection Status&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Live connection indicator showing your server name and account login&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Apply / Reset&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Push updated settings to the MT5 terminal instantly with animated feedback&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🛡️ Designed for Real Trading Conditions
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;No repainting&lt;/strong&gt; — all levels are calculated on closed bars only&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;No lag&lt;/strong&gt; — volume histogram is rendered natively, not as an overlay on a separate chart&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Disconnection safe&lt;/strong&gt; — the manager detects MT5 disconnections and blocks all operations until reconnected&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Session-aware&lt;/strong&gt; — automatically detects London, New York, and Tokyo sessions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How to Use
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Launch the application&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Confirm the sidebar shows &lt;strong&gt;CONNECTED&lt;/strong&gt; with your server and login details&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select your &lt;strong&gt;Profile Type&lt;/strong&gt; — Session, Fixed Range, Visible Range, or Daily&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Choose your &lt;strong&gt;Timeframe&lt;/strong&gt; from the top bar (M1 → D1)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Toggle &lt;strong&gt;Show POC&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Show Value Area&lt;/strong&gt; as needed&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enable &lt;strong&gt;Buy / Sell Split&lt;/strong&gt; to see delta distribution per level&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click &lt;strong&gt;▶ Apply&lt;/strong&gt; — settings are pushed to the MT5 terminal&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use the &lt;strong&gt;Key Levels&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Session Stats&lt;/strong&gt; panels for a quick reference at a glance&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Levels Table&lt;/strong&gt; at the bottom shows the full breakdown with visual distribution bars&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Reading the Chart
&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;VAH ─────────────────────────────────────  ← Top of 70% volume zone
     ████████████████████████████████████
     ██████████████████████████
POC ══════════════════════════════════════  ← Highest volume level (gold dashed)
     ██████████████████████████████████████████  (widest bar)
     ████████████████████
VAL ─────────────────────────────────────  ← Bottom of 70% volume zone
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;



&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Wide bars&lt;/strong&gt; = high volume = price acceptance — market spent time here&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Narrow bars&lt;/strong&gt; = low volume = price rejection — market moved through quickly&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;POC&lt;/strong&gt; is the strongest magnet level — price tends to return to it&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;VAH / VAL&lt;/strong&gt; act as support and resistance — breaks with volume confirm trend&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Roadmap
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[x] Volume Profile with POC, VAH, VAL&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[x] Buy / Sell split (delta mode)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[x] Session stats (London / NY / Tokyo)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[x] Live price ticker&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[ ] Multi-session overlay — show multiple session profiles on one chart&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[ ] Alert system — get notified when price returns to POC or breaks Value Area&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[ ] Export levels to CSV for backtesting&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[ ] MT4 build — full parity with the MT5 version&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[ ] Telegram integration — send key levels to your phone automatically&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

  Information
&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Advanced MT5 / MT4 forex trading tool and indicator suite designed for modern trading platforms, featuring automation, risk management, trade execution, market analysis, and algorithmic trading capabilities. This project supports traders with expert advisors (EAs), indicators, scalping systems, position sizing tools, and real-time trading assistance.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;
  
  
  ⚡ MT5 Auto Scripts
&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A professional desktop tool for executing MT5 trading scripts instantly built for traders who can't afford to be slow.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🚨 The Problem Every Trader Knows
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Market is crashing. You need to close everything. Now."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You open MT5 — close position 1, close position 2, cancel order 1, cancel order 2...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By the time you're done, the damage is done.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MT5 Auto Scripts gives you a single button to close every open position and cancel every pending order across your entire account instantly, with a clean confirmation flow and real-time feedback.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What It Does
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Close All Orders Script&lt;/strong&gt; connects to your active MT5 session and performs the following in sequence:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reads all open market positions from the account&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sends a close request for each position at the current market price&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reads all pending orders (limit, stop, stop-limit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cancels every pending order individually&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Verifies each closure and reports the final result&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The entire process takes a few seconds and gives you step-by-step progress feedback throughout.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Features
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Feature&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Close All Positions&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Closes every open market position regardless of symbol, direction, or volume&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Cancel All Pending Orders&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Removes all limit, stop, and stop-limit orders from the account&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Multi-Symbol Support&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Works across forex pairs, metals, indices, crypto — any instrument on your MT5 broker&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Pre-Execution Preview&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Before running, the app shows a full table of every position and order that will be affected&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Confirmation Requirement&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;The Run button stays disabled until you explicitly check the confirmation box — no accidents&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Live Connection Status&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Sidebar shows your MT5 server name, login ID, and live connection state at all times&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Animated Progress Bar&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Each step of the script is shown in real time: connect → close positions → cancel orders → verify → done&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Disconnect / Reconnect&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Toggle your MT5 connection directly from the sidebar without restarting the app&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Real-Time Status Bar&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Bottom bar shows the current operation and a live clock&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🛡️ Safety Design
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This tool handles irreversible trading actions, so it was designed with several layers of protection:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Confirmation gate&lt;/strong&gt; — the Run button is visually disabled and non-clickable until the user ticks the acknowledgement checkbox&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Order preview&lt;/strong&gt; — a full grid of all open positions and pending orders is displayed before any action is taken, so you always know exactly what will be closed&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Connection check&lt;/strong&gt; — if MT5 is disconnected, the script refuses to run and shows a warning in the status bar&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Warning banner&lt;/strong&gt; — a clearly visible red warning reminds the user that the action cannot be undone&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;No auto-run&lt;/strong&gt; — the script never runs automatically; every execution requires a manual trigger&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Roadmap
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[x] Close All Orders Script&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[ ] Close by Symbol — close only positions on a specific instrument (e.g. XAUUSD only)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[ ] Close by Direction — close only Buy positions, or only Sell positions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[ ] Close by Loss — automatically close any position in drawdown beyond a set threshold&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[ ] Scheduled Execution — trigger a close script at a specific time&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[ ] Telegram Notification — send a message to your Telegram after execution completes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MT5 Auto Scripts&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp;·&amp;nbsp; Built for traders, by traders &amp;nbsp;·&amp;nbsp; v1.0.0&lt;/p&gt;
