Distance From Line

Distance From Line — Precision Chart Utility for MetaTrader 5

Tired of squinting at tiny MetaTrader crosshairs that vanish the moment you let go?
The default MT5 measuring tool is clumsy, hard to read, and slows down decision-making.
Distance From Line fixes this. It’s a sleek, professional utility that gives you instant clarity on price distances — directly on your chart.

What It Does

• Place a clean horizontal line with one click.

• Instantly see the exact distance from current price to your line.

• Display in ticks, points, or pips — updated live, every tick.

• Works on futures, forex, indices, and stocks.

Why It’s Better Than Crosshairs

• Permanent reference line — doesn’t disappear like crosshairs.

• Large, clear label in the chart corner (customizable size, font, and colors).

• No congestion — the numbers don’t overlap your candles.

• Customizable — line color, thickness, style, label placement, and more.

• Auto-color mode — label turns green when price is above, red when below.

Trading Benefits

• Fast stop-loss placement — know instantly if your stop is 20 or 50 ticks away.

• Clear profit targets — e.g. 100 ticks = $500 per contract on NQ.

• Effortless position sizing — no more mental math or oversizing trades.

• Plan trades faster — ideal for scalpers, day traders, and swing traders.
