A free MT5 account profit & loss statistics tool — how to install it, drive it, and read it
What this indicator does
It turns your MT5 account history into a picture you can actually read: the positions and risk you hold right now, profit & loss statistics over any period, and the floating drawdown depth that a balance curve never shows. It is a read-only statistics tool — it only reads data, never places an order, and never touches any position you hold.
1. The four tabs
Once it is on a chart, the top bar is all the navigation there is
| Position Dashboard | Current positions, floating P/L, a risk score, the volatility buffer and the estimated liquidation level — the state of the account “right now”. |
|---|---|
| Period Statistics | Profit & loss, deposits & withdrawals, swap, three kinds of return and the maximum floating drawdown over any daily / weekly / monthly / yearly range; click the small triangle on a “day” row to expand that day’s floating P/L detail. |
| Downloads | About the team, plus a QR code straight to the product downloads page on our website. |
| Instructions | The full built-in manual: how to operate it, a plain-language read of position risk, and how every statistic is calculated. |
2. How to install it in MT5
Two minutes — and note it goes in the Indicators folder, not Experts
Installation steps
- Get the indicator file (.ex5) from the product downloads page.
- Open MT5, choose File → Open Data Folder (top left), go into MQL5 → Indicators, and copy the file there.
- Back in MT5, right-click “Indicators” in the Navigator window (Ctrl+N) → Refresh.
- Drag the indicator onto any chart (any instrument, any timeframe) and click OK.
- When the panel appears on the chart, you are done; on accounts with a long history the first load takes a few seconds to crunch the data.
The indicator does not need “Algo Trading” enabled — it only reads statistics and performs no trading action of any kind.
3. Basic operation
Everything lives in the top bar — a minute to learn
- Switching tabs: “Position Dashboard / Period Statistics” on the left of the top bar, “Downloads / Instructions” in the top-right corner.
- Text size: two pairs of A- / A+ in the top bar — “All” scales the whole panel, “Content” scales only the page content, and the two multiply.
- Collapse: the pill button in the top-right corner folds the whole panel into a small pill so the chart is fully visible; click the pill to expand again, and you can also hold and drag it.
- Date range: in Period Statistics, “All ｜ from ~ to ｜ OK” — the date boxes accept typing: “2026” = the whole year, “2026.07” = the whole of July, “2026.07.15” = that one day.
- Refresh: if the numbers seem behind, click the chart once and press Ctrl+R.
4. Common questions
Attached it and nothing shows?
The terminal may still be syncing the account history — wait a few seconds or press Ctrl+R; if there is still nothing, remove the indicator and drag it onto the chart again.
The numbers differ from what I remember?
The statistics follow the account history MT5 provides. Set the date range to “All” first and reconcile the totals, then narrow the range to find the difference. Note that “max floating drawdown” is a minute-by-minute reconstruction of floating-loss depth — it is a different thing from balance drawdown, and it is normal for it to be the deeper number.
What happens when I switch to another account?
The indicator rebuilds the statistics for the new account automatically. Each account keeps its own view state; nothing gets overwritten.
Will it affect my trading?
No. The indicator is read-only: it opens nothing, modifies nothing, closes nothing — and when you remove it, it restores the chart’s appearance.
