Why can't I see my Stop Loss or Take Profit on the chart?
Your Stop Loss (SL) or Take Profit (TP) line may be hidden by the chart’s display settings. A missing line does not necessarily mean the level has been removed from your position.
Check both the chart settings and the position details to confirm whether the level is attached.
How do I display trade levels on desktop?
- Open MetaTrader 4 (MT4) or MetaTrader 5 (MT5).
- Select Tools → Options → Charts.
- Enable Show trade levels.
- Select OK to save the setting.
What should I check if the lines are still missing?
- Check the position’s recorded levels. Open the Trade tab in the MT4 Terminal or MT5 Toolbox and review the S/L and T/P columns.
- Check the chart instrument. Confirm that the chart shows the same instrument as your open position.
- Check the trading account. Confirm that you are logged in to the account holding the position.
How do I interpret the result?
- The intended level appears in the position details: The level is recorded on the position, even if its chart line is not visible.
- The intended level is missing or different: The position does not show the Stop Loss or Take Profit level you expected.
Use the position’s recorded details to confirm its Stop Loss and Take Profit settings, rather than relying only on chart lines.
