Re: Portfolio Expert - Wish list

Dear Popov,
the EA panel on MT5 hides some piece of the chart which is not good in cases where I want to see SELL/BUY info for the oper trades, and I want to manually adjust SL_TP according to it, I find highly disturbing in these cases.

Even while deactivating everything (News, Position Stats, Trading Stats) it still take a lot of space.

So, it would be great an option to HIDE EA BLACk PANEL from CHART or make it MOVABLE where we want (for example in the bottom left corner).

Thanks!

Re: Portfolio Expert - Wish list

Dear Popov,
just wondering if the Portfolio Equity Drawdown data (info and/or line chart) is something you're considering to add in the short term.

Evaluating strategies portfolio is incomplete without this info, you can have a very low portfolio balance drawdown but a huge equity drawdown. In addition, It's not immediate to go trough every strategy in the collection and try to imagine the portfolio equity drawdown, it's highly time-consuming but also a very approximate process.

Last but not least: my prop firm account does not allow to backtest EA on MT5, they only allow EAs on live trading. SO I can only check the equity drawdown trough EA Studio.

But, even if MT5 would allow it, I believe this data is mandatory for the every portfolio evaluation process on EA Studio (nd on any professional tool in the market of course, no matter if you can re-backtest the Portfolio on MT5 or not which it should not be needed for professional tools).

Thanks and Happy Sunday!

Dear Popov,
hope you're well!

Your recent improvements to portfolios mql5 inputs have put closed the portfolio EA to the strategy EA, but, there's one huge thing still missing which I found very essential: the portfolio equity drawdown data!

Currently, you can't appreciate the goodness of a strategy, the max (balance) drawdown is not enough, of course for all kind of strategies but also for Prop Firms where there are very strict conditions on allowed equity drawdown.

You know well that you can have portfolios with a low balance drawdown but a huge equity one.

So, I believe there must be:
1) Max Equity drawdown and Max Equity drawdown % in the Portfolio Stats Tab
2) even much better in addition: also a "Drawdown in percents" chart and "Drawdown in currency" chart in a Balance Chart Tab (like existing for EAs).

Many thanks and regards

Re: Portfolio Expert - Wish list

Good afternoon,

I would like to share an idea and seek your guidance or support regarding a challenge I am currently facing with my trading robots. I am leveraging small accounts using robots configured with a risk-to-reward ratio of 3:1 for Stop Loss and Take Profit levels. However, I have encountered a specific problem that might require your assistance.

The issue arises with managing the number of open orders across different currency pairs. My goal is to limit the robots to only one open order at a time, regardless of the currency pair. For instance, if a robot has an active trade on EUR/USD, it should not open another trade on any other pair until the first one is closed.

The addition of this feature would help streamline risk management and prevent overexposure across multiple pairs. If you believe this functionality is not suitable to be included directly in the portfolio or robot settings, could you kindly guide me on how to implement it into the MQL5 source code?

I have some programming knowledge in MQL5, but I am not a professional developer and have struggled to incorporate this feature myself. Any help, including example code snippets or advice on structuring this logic, would be highly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and assistance!

This is a viable idea. It can be easily implemented because each robot can see all the open positions.

I may add an option to limit the total number of open lots for the Portfolio Robots.
