Example:
SYMBOL XAUUSD MARKET OPEN BID 3368.42 ASK 3368.58 SPREAD 16.0 points
Bid and Ask values are retrieved directly from the selected symbol's current tick data.
Spread is calculated in broker points.
Contract Specifications
The indicator displays important contract information provided by the broker.
DIGITS 2 POINT 0.01 TICK SIZE 0.01 TICK VALUE 1.00 USD CONTRACT SIZE 100.00
These values can differ significantly between Forex, metals, indices, cryptocurrencies, CFDs and brokers.
For this reason, the dashboard reads the specifications directly from MetaTrader 5.
Point and Pip Value
The dashboard also estimates the monetary value of a price movement for
1.00 lot
.
Displayed values include:
1 LOT POINT VALUE 1 LOT PIP VALUE
The calculation uses the broker-reported:
Tick Size Tick Value Point Size Symbol Digits
For 3-digit and 5-digit symbols, the dashboard uses the conventional 10-point pip interpretation.
For other digit configurations, the symbol point size is used as the reference.
These values should be treated as informational estimates because symbol calculation models and broker specifications may vary.
Volume Information
Important trading-volume limits are displayed directly on the dashboard.
MIN LOT 0.01 MAX LOT 100.00 LOT STEP 0.01
This allows traders to quickly identify the minimum and maximum permitted order volume and the valid lot increment for the selected instrument.
Swap Information
The dashboard displays the broker-reported swap values for both trade directions.
SWAP LONG -32.50 SWAP SHORT 18.20
Swap values are displayed exactly according to the symbol information supplied by MetaTrader 5.
Their monetary interpretation depends on the broker's swap calculation mode and symbol specifications.
Stops and Freeze Levels
The indicator retrieves:
STOPS LEVEL FREEZE LEVEL
These values are useful when developing or testing Expert Advisors because brokers may impose minimum distances or modification restrictions for trading operations.
Example:
STOPS LEVEL 0 FREEZE LEVEL 0
Values are displayed in broker points.
Trading Mode
The current symbol trading mode is automatically detected.
Possible conditions include:
FULL LONG ONLY SHORT ONLY CLOSE ONLY DISABLED

Filling Mode
The dashboard also reads the broker-supported order filling configuration.
Depending on the symbol, the panel may display modes such as:
FOK IOC BOC
or supported combinations where applicable.
Daily Market Information
The current daily candle is analyzed to display:
DAILY HIGH DAILY LOW DAILY RANGE CURRENT ATR
For example:
HIGH 3382.60 LOW 3344.15 RANGE 38.45 ATR 4.82
Daily Range is calculated as:
Daily High - Daily Low
This provides a quick overview of the current day's price movement.
ATR
The indicator includes an ATR calculation with a default period of:
ATR Period = 14
ATR is calculated using the
current chart timeframe
.
The ATR period can be changed from the indicator inputs.
Current or Custom Symbol

Users can also disable:
Use Current Symbol
and specify a custom instrument.
For example:
Use Current Symbol = false Custom Symbol = XAUUSD
The exact broker symbol name should be used, including suffixes or prefixes where applicable.
Market Status
The dashboard provides an informational:
MARKET: OPEN
or
MARKET: CLOSED
status.
The status is determined using the symbol's trading mode and the recency of received tick data.
Because broker trading schedules and tick availability can vary, this should be considered a practical monitoring indication rather than an official exchange-session calendar.
