Dashboard & GUI
Banana EA displays an on-chart dashboard panel that gives you a real-time view of account state, session status, strategy settings, and open trades — without opening the inputs dialog.
Main dashboard panel
The main panel appears on the chart and can be moved or collapsed by the dashboard controls supported by your build.
Sections
| Section | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Header | EA name, version, build date, optimization set name |
| Account | Balance, equity, free margin |
| Session | Current session status (Active / Inactive), time to next session change |
| Strategy | Active patterns (B1/B2/B3/Seed), signal engine mode |
| Market Analysis | Current ATR, EMA values, daily range % |
| Trading | Open trade count, max trades allowed, scale-in mode |
| Risk | Current lot size, risk per trade, active drawdown protection status |
| Trade Management | Break even, partial close, trailing stop current status per open trade |
| Drawdown | Daily DD used, weekly DD used, HWM distance |
| Status | License status, last signal, last action |
Buttons
The dashboard includes action buttons:
| Button | Function |
|---|---|
| Theme | Cycle through colour themes |
| S | Open / close the Smart Risk Monitor window |
| Rearrange | Reset all windows to stacked default layout |
Trade info panels
Each open trade has its own draggable trade box showing:
- Ticket number, symbol, direction (BUY / SELL)
- Entry price, current SL, TP
- Floating P&L in pips and currency
- Current partial-close level status, such as compact PC1/PC2/PC3 progress text
- Close button (closes the full position)
- TC button (candle trailing stop)
- ST button (swing trailing stop)
- BE button (manual break-even)
Trade boxes are draggable by their caption bar when that dashboard feature is enabled in your build.
Smart Risk Monitor
The Smart Risk Monitor (opened by the S button) shows a separate draggable window with advanced risk metrics:
- Daily drawdown used vs limit
- Weekly drawdown used vs limit
- Trailing HWM distance
- Consecutive loss count
- Session profit vs lock threshold
- Challenge mode progress bar
It uses the same 260px width as the main dashboard to fit neatly alongside it.
Account History Report
A separate draggable window (optional) showing closed-trade performance statistics for the current terminal session.
Themes
The Theme button on the dashboard cycles through available colour schemes. See Themes for details.
Positioning
The current MT5 dashboard framework stores dashboard position and display state internally. If the dashboard appears off-screen, remove and reattach the EA or reset the chart layout from the dashboard controls available in your build.
