Switching Display of Positions and Orders in MT5 (Windows)
Displaying Current Positions and Pending Stop and Limit Orders on the Chart
MT5 can display current positions, associated closing orders, and pending stop and limit orders along with their respective closing orders on the chart.
This feature can be toggled on and off as needed, and we will guide you on how to do so.
Display of Positions and Orders
Display of Current Positions
Current positions are indicated on the chart by a green line. The associated closing limit and stop orders are shown with a red line.
Display of Pending Limit and Stop Orders
Pending unexecuted limit and stop orders are also indicated on the chart by a green line. The associated closing limit and stop orders are shown with a red line.
How to Toggle the Display of Positions and Orders
The display of positions and order levels on the MT5 chart can be toggled at two places.
Select 'Options' from the 'Tools' menu in MT5.
In the 'Options' dialog, under the 'Charts' tab, checking the box next to 'Show positions and orders on the chart' will enable the display, and unchecking it will hide them.
With 'Show positions and orders on the chart' checked, right-click on the chart and select 'Trade Levels' from the menu that appears to toggle visibility on or off.
