What is isymbol Indicator?
isymbol 0.10 is an MT5 indicator that overlays the price line of a selected symbol on the current chart. The Symbol input chooses the comparison series, while Invert and Scale fix adjust how that series is displayed alongside the active chart.
The overlay provides a direct visual comparison of two price series over the same time axis. It is chart context for reviewing relative movement, not a statement about how the series relate or behave later.
How to Use It in Practice
Use the indicator as a visual comparison aid:
- Add isymbol 0.10 to an MT5 chart and choose the comparison instrument in Symbol.
- Review the overlaid line against the active chart’s price movement and time scale.
- Use Invert when an opposite visual orientation is useful for comparison.
- Adjust Scale fix so the two displayed series remain readable together.
- Review similarities and differences as chart context without assuming a fixed relationship between symbols.
A second symbol can be viewed without opening another chart, inversion and scale options improve visual alignment, and the overlay supports direct side-by-side price comparison.
MT5 Indicator Parameters
The screenshot above shows the default input parameters in the MT5 settings window.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Symbol | Specifies which symbol’s price you want to display on the current chart (e.g., EURUSD, GBPUSD, XAUUSD). |
| Invert | Flips the displayed price values of the selected symbol, useful for comparing inverse relationships. |
| Scale fix | Determines whether the overlaid symbol is adjusted to fit the same price scale as the main chart or kept at its native scale. |
