MA Trade Assistant Interface Layout and Built-In MT5 Themes

How the MT5 Panel Interface Is Laid Out

The panel has a persistent top header, a live status strip, an economic news card, and five functional tabs. The structure stays identical across every theme.

ORDER

Size and send a trade: risk, stop loss, take profit, lot and the findings card.

TRADES

One card per open position, with break-even, close and bulk buttons.

PROP

The rules of your prop firm challenge and your progress against them.

PLAN

A map for the session: ATR, previous day and week levels, VWAP and volume profile.

MORE

Close, Split, Trail, BE+, Setup, Info and News pages. See Settings and advanced options.

Header, status strip and news card

Always visible at the top of the panel.

Logo and title

Drag the header to move the panel. The “-” button minimises it and “x” closes it.

TIME · SPREAD · FLOAT · DAY P/L · DD

Broker time, current spread in the chosen unit (pips by default), floating profit or loss, today's result and the drawdown.

Symbol and < >

Shows the traded symbol. Use the arrows to switch to the next or previous symbol.

THIS CHART / ALL SYMBOLS

Scope of the management tools (break-even, trailing, close): this chart only, or every symbol.

PC · BE · TS · OCO

Lights up when partial close (PC), break-even (BE), trailing stop (TS) or OCO pending orders are armed.

News card

The next relevant event with its impact (HIGH or MEDIUM), name, countdown, and how it moves your symbol. Click the impact badge to open the News tab.

Built-In MT5 Panel Themes (Site Gold, TradingView & Dracula)

Version 2.4.4 includes six built-in colour themes. Only the palette changes—the layout and controls remain identical. Below are full-resolution captures of the three primary dark themes.

• 

  Site (gold)

  The default. Warm near-black with gold accents, like this website.

• 

  TradingView

  A cool dark blue-grey with a blue accent, close to a TradingView chart.

• 

  Dracula

  Dark slate with a lilac accent and a soft contrast.

The images are shown at their real size. The panel is a compact window of about 300 pixels, so the screenshots are small by nature.

How to Switch Panel Themes in MetaTrader 5

• In the panel: open MORE, then Setup, and press the Theme button under Appearance. Each press moves to the next built-in theme and your choice is remembered. Press until the theme you want is shown.
• In the inputs window: press F7 on the chart (or right-click the chart, Expert Advisors, Properties), open Inputs and choose a value for Panel theme. This sets the theme the panel starts with.

Version 2.4.4 includes six built-in themes in total: Site (gold), TradingView dark, Dracula, MT5 Teal, Nord, and Light. This guide shows full screenshots of the three dark themes above; you can cycle through all six using the Theme button in MORE -> Setup.
