What it does

Also recommended: Opening Gap Tracker: Daily, Weekend Gaps with Fill Tracking and Alerts - similar indicator with strong performance on MetaTrader 5.

Daily P/L by Magic Number displays account history and open positions in a concise table on your chart.

Column Descriptions:

Strategy
This represents the magic number assigned to a trading strategy, or a custom name you provide. Manual trades are designated with magic number 0.

Today / Week / Month
This column shows the closed profit, including swaps, commissions, and fees, along with the current floating profit or loss for that strategy's open positions. This floating P/L can be optionally excluded.

Float
This displays the current floating profit or loss for all open positions associated with the strategy.

Trd
This indicates the number of trades closed within the current day.

DayDD
This represents the largest intraday drawdown experienced, calculated from the day's peak profit (including closed trades and floating P/L) while the indicator was active.

The final row, labeled TOTAL, aggregates all the displayed values. Profit is shown in green, losses in red, and zero values in grey.

Why it is useful

If you manage multiple Expert Advisors (EAs) on a single account, the standard terminal view shows a unified balance curve. This table provides a detailed breakdown of each strategy's contribution to performance, both daily and over weekly and monthly periods.

Quickly identify underperforming EAs: strategies showing a significant DayDD or an unusual loss today are immediately apparent.

Distinguish manual trades from EA-executed trades, preventing them from being mixed together.

This tool is compatible with hedging and netting accounts, any trading symbol, and any timeframe. When applied to a single chart, it provides a comprehensive overview of the entire account's performance.

How periods are defined

The Day, Week, and Month periods are based on the broker's server time. The week begins on Monday, and the month starts on the 1st day of the month.

To maintain performance, especially on accounts with extensive history, the indicator reads historical data starting from the first day of the current week or month, whichever is earlier.

The intraday drawdown calculation incorporates the closed trade data for the day and floating values sampled while the indicator is running. If the trading terminal was closed for any portion of the day, the floating P/L data for that specific period may not be fully reconstructible.

Notes

This is a read-only indicator. It does not send, modify, or close any orders. It does not utilize buffers and does not generate alerts.

The account number, account name, broker details, and balance are never displayed by this indicator.

All totals are presented in the account's currency, as indicated in the title.

Deals opened and closed by other EAs or manually on the same account are included in the calculations, as they are part of the account history.

This tool is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. It reports on past performance data.

Test in Strategy Tester

Since the indicator analyzes the deal history of the account it is attached to, you can also load it within the Strategy Tester. This allows you to review the table's functionality and appearance before deploying it on a demo or live trading account.
