Account Information Display Indicators for MT4/MT5

Related: i market price 2.1 - real-time price information indicator - another powerful indicator for MetaTrader 4 traders.

Display key account information directly on your trading chart with these intuitive indicators. Showcasing profit, balance, equity, free margin, margin level percentage, and more.

Also recommended: market information indicator - similar indicator with strong performance on MetaTrader 4.

Indicator 1: Account Info Vertical 4.01 - Organizes account details in a vertical layout on your chart.

Indicator 2: Account Info Horizontal 4.01 - Arranges account information in a horizontal sequence on the chart.

Functionality:
- Hide Account Information: Click anywhere on the displayed account information text to hide it.
- Show Account Information: Click on the text 'Account Info' to make it visible again.
- Show Profit Only: Select 'true' from the input values to display only the profit figure.

Enhanced Layout Features:
Both horizontal and vertical indicators feature auto-equal spacing between account information headers, ensuring no font overlap.

Dynamic Updates and Visibility:
The hide/show functionality relies on incoming ticks or chart refreshes. In low-activity or closed markets, the hide/show action may appear unresponsive until a tick is received or the chart refreshes. An autorefresh timer indicator is included in the download package. Attaching this timer to just one chart will refresh all instances of the Account Info indicators across all charts. Increasing the autorefresh frequency has a minimal impact on CPU usage with modern hardware. You can monitor program impact on CPU load using a free tool like Core Temp.

Recommendations for Optimal Display:

To ensure clear and non-overlapping text, the following requirements are essential:
- Space distances between successive account headers must be equal.
- Adjustments to font size should not cause vertical or horizontal font overlap.

Vertical Axis Equal Spacing:
Vertical axis equal spacing is managed by the `objprop_ydistance` parameter. Successive header `objprop_ydistance` formulas maintain vertical equal spacing by multiplying the font size with allocated terms of an even sequence (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12). Vertical font overlap is prevented as each equal space adjusts proportionally to font size changes. Vertical axis shifts are maintained by adding the `objprop_ydistance` input parameter value.

The following code snippet from `account_info_vertical` illustrates the solution for vertical spacing:

input
int up_down = 10; // Controls vertical shift

oninit()
{
up_down_ml = up_down + font_size * 10;
up_down_m = up_down + font_size * 8;
up_down_fm = up_down + font_size * 6;
up_down_e = up_down + font_size * 4;
up_down_b = up_down + font_size * 2;
up_down_p = up_down;
}

oncalculate()
{
objectset("acc_b_v", objprop_ydistance, up_down_b);
objectset("acc_p_v", objprop_ydistance, up_down_p);
}

Horizontal Axis Equal Spacing:
Horizontal axis equal spacing is managed by the `objprop_xdistance` parameter. Unlike the vertical axis, horizontal spacing must account for the real-time updating lengths of preceding account headers, which change based on profit, loss, balance, and margin fluctuations.

Horizontal axis equal space is achieved by calculating the total length of strings in preceding headers and multiplying by a suitable font-size-related multiplier. This ensures that horizontal font overlap is avoided as spacing adjusts proportionally to font size changes. Horizontal axis shifts are maintained by adding the `objprop_xdistance` input parameter value.

The following code snippet from `account_info_horizontal` illustrates the solution for horizontal spacing:

input
int left_right_p = 15; // Controls horizontal shift

oncalculate()
{
double spacer_mult = font_size * spacing * 0.1;
int stlenp = stringlen(acc_p_header + acc_curr + acc_gap_p + acc_p_hs);
int stlenb = stringlen(acc_b_header + acc_b_hs);
objectset("acc_e_h", objprop_xdistance, (stlenp + stlenb) * spacer_mult + left_right_p);
objectset("acc_b_h", objprop_xdistance, stlenp * spacer_mult + left_right_p);
objectset("acc_p_h", objprop_xdistance, left_right_p);
}
