Instrument Details Indicator for MT4

Table of contents

Table of contents

Instrument Details is a free open-source indicator for MetaTrader 4 that displays the detailed information about the chart's trading instrument (a currency pair, a CFD, or some other asset) using a small panel directly on the chart. Sometimes, it is useful to have a quick table with all the details of a currency pair or any other instrument readily available on your screen. By default, in MetaTrader 4, such a facility is quite a few clicks away from the main interface and it cannot remain on while you analyze the chart or trade. That's why, the Instrument Details indicator for MT4 was created.
