Please note that this indicator works only on MetaTrader 5. Since it is a custom indicator, you need to install it manually. If you need help, you can find many helpful YouTube tutorials on how to add a custom indicator to MetaTrader 5.
MT5 Auto TP EA
MT5 Expert AdvisorMT5 Auto TP is a helpful Expert Advisor (EA) for MetaTrader 5 that automatically sets your take profit based on your preferred risk-reward ratio.
You can set your desired risk-reward ratio in the EA’s input tab. Just make sure your trade already has a stop loss, because the EA calculates the take profit automatically based on the stop-loss distance.
Personally, I trade using a 1:2.5 risk-reward ratio, and this EA sets the take profit for me automatically. As long as the EA is active on MetaTrader 5, it detects open trades with a stop loss and applies the correct take-profit target.
You can also place trades from any device. In my case, I run the EA through a VPS, so it automatically sets my take profit even when I am not actively using my computer.
To use it, simply download it using the button below. The file is stored on Google Drive, so you may need to log in to your Gmail account to download it.
These tools are provided for free. Always test any indicator or EA first before using it on a live trading account.

Important Trading Concepts Made Simple
Below is a polished beginner-friendly section that explains the main concepts in your trading framework. Each tile includes a short explanation and a simple visual illustration so users can understand the setup faster.
Direction
Direction means your overall market bias. First decide if price is mainly moving up or mainly moving down. This helps you stay aligned with the bigger move instead of forcing trades against it.
Overall Market BiasKey Levels
Key levels are major support and resistance zones. These are important areas where price often reacts, reverses, or continues after a pullback.
Support & ResistanceTrend
Trend is the structure of price movement. In a bullish trend, price makes higher highs and higher lows. In a bearish trend, price makes lower highs and lower lows.
HH / HL or LH / LLFVG & Orderblock
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a 3-candlestick imbalance. The gap is between the first candle and the third candle, created by a strong displacement candle in the middle. The orderblock is the last opposing candle before the strong move.
3-Candle Gap + Reaction AreaLiquidity
Liquidity is where many stop losses or pending orders are resting. Common examples are equal highs and equal lows. Price often moves into these areas to collect liquidity before the next move.
Equal Highs & Equal LowsPDH & PDL
PDH means Previous Day High, and PDL means Previous Day Low. These are important daily reference points where price often reacts, takes liquidity, or reverses.
Previous Day High & LowCISD
CISD means Change in State of Delivery. It shows that price delivery is changing. For example, bearish candles may start losing control and bullish candles begin taking over from a key zone.
Change in DeliveryMSS
MSS means Market Structure Shift. It happens when price breaks an important swing level, showing that the market structure may be changing from bearish to bullish, or bullish to bearish.
Break of Key Swing StructureStart with Direction, mark your Key Levels, study the Trend, identify FVG / Orderblock, check Liquidity, note PDH & PDL, and wait for CISD or MSS before taking an entry.
How to Use These Concepts Together
After understanding direction, key levels, trend, FVG, orderblock, liquidity, PDH/PDL, CISD, and MSS, the next step is learning how they connect together in a real trading idea.
Bullish Example Setup
A bullish setup starts when the higher timeframe direction is bullish. Price pulls back into a key level, FVG, or orderblock, takes sell-side liquidity, then shows CISD or MSS before continuing higher.
Buy Setup SequenceBearish Example Setup
A bearish setup starts when the higher timeframe direction is bearish. Price rallies into a key level, FVG, or orderblock, takes buy-side liquidity, then shows CISD or MSS before continuing lower.
Sell Setup SequenceStep-by-Step Execution Flow
Follow this checklist before every trade. The goal is to move from higher timeframe direction, to trading location, then to lower timeframe confirmation. Do not jump straight to entry.
Start on the 4H chart and decide the main bias. If price is making higher highs and higher lows, the market may be bullish. If price is making lower highs and lower lows, the market may be bearish. This tells you whether you should mainly look for buys or sells.
Mark the strongest support and resistance zones. Also mark PDH and PDL. These levels are important because price often reacts, reverses, or takes liquidity from these areas.
Use the 1H chart to understand the smaller structure inside the 4H direction. For buys, look for bullish structure and pullbacks into support. For sells, look for bearish structure and pullbacks into resistance. This helps you avoid entering too early or too late.
A POI means Point of Interest. This can be a Fair Value Gap, orderblock, support zone, or resistance zone. For beginners, think of it as the area where you want price to come back before looking for an entry.
Look for liquidity near your POI. This can be equal highs, equal lows, PDH, PDL, session high, or session low. A strong setup often happens after price sweeps liquidity and then reacts from your key area.
Do not enter while price is still far from your planned area. Wait for price to come into your key level, FVG, orderblock, or liquidity zone. Your entry should come from a planned location, not from emotion.
Once price reaches the zone, go to your entry timeframe. This can be 5M or 15M depending on your plan. Look for a clear reaction, not just a random candle.
For a valid entry, price should show a shift. CISD means price delivery changes. MSS means market structure shifts. For buys, you want bullish confirmation. For sells, you want bearish confirmation.
Place your stop loss beyond the swing or zone that should not be broken. Your target should be a logical liquidity area, such as the previous swing high for buys or previous swing low for sells.
The best trade is when direction, key level, POI, liquidity, and confirmation all agree. If one major part is missing, skip the trade. There will always be another setup.
Simple Buy Example
The 4H direction is bullish. On 1H, price pulls back into support and an FVG. Near that zone, price sweeps a low. Then on 5M or 15M, price shows bullish CISD or MSS. Your stop goes below the swept low, and your target is the next high or buy-side liquidity.
Simple Sell Example
The 4H direction is bearish. On 1H, price pulls back into resistance and an orderblock. Near that zone, price sweeps a high. Then on 5M or 15M, price shows bearish CISD or MSS. Your stop goes above the swept high, and your target is the next low or sell-side liquidity.
Do not trade only because price touches a level. Wait for the full sequence: Direction → Key Level → POI → Liquidity Sweep → CISD/MSS → Entry Plan. If the sequence is incomplete, there is no trade.
