📋 Overview

Order Arrows is an MT4-exclusive visual enhancement that automatically displays arrows on your charts for all trading activity. Since MT4 doesn’t track order arrows by default, this feature fills that gap by providing clear visual markers for entries, exits, pending orders, and profit/loss outcomes directly on your price charts.

The system transforms your charts into a comprehensive visual trading journal with color-coded arrows and profit/loss indicators, giving you immediate insight into performance patterns and decision-making effectiveness across all timeframes and trading instruments.
