The Exposure Indicator for MetaTrader 5 is a highly customizable tool designed to display essential trading risk information directly on your chart. It shows details such as the traded instrument, the number of open positions, order type, lot size, entry price, and floating profit/loss.
Although the standard MetaTrader platform already includes a “Terminal” window with similar information, the Exposure Indicator enhances this feature. It uses an optimized algorithm that automatically reads data from the Terminal and presents your trading exposure clearly on the chart itself.
This ensures your open positions are always visible without switching windows, helping traders effectively monitor ongoing trades in real time. As a result, the indicator is extremely useful for beginners, intermediate, and advanced forex traders who want to maintain better control over their active positions.
The example image above shows how the indicator appears on an MT5 chart. In this case, it displays three active assets: EURUSD, USDJPY, and EURJPY, along with each one’s detailed position information.
For instance, the USDJPY trade displays one active buy order with a total lot size of 0.60, currently showing a floating loss of -12.91.
The indicator’s simplicity and clarity make it easier for traders to track exposure across multiple pairs without navigating through multiple MT5 windows.
The Exposure Indicator for MT5 is not a market-analysis tool but a valuable utility for monitoring your open trading positions. It helps traders instantly view risk and exposure information directly on the chart, improving trade management and decision-making.
Best of all, it is completely free to download.
