This document describes an Expert Advisor that trades signals from the Fisher_org_v1 oscillator. A signal is considered when a bar closes with the oscillator’s main and signal lines crossing while the indicator cloud also changes color. The strategy…
The document describes a code-level optimization for an MQL5 Expert Advisor that runs on every tick. Its main idea is to retrieve indicator and time-series data only when a new bar appears, while retaining variables between calls using static storage. This…
This Expert Advisor is described as a reversal strategy based on changes in the direction of an Ergodic Ticks Volume OSMA histogram. It generates a signal when a bar closes and the histogram switches direction. The document identifies USDJPY on an eight-hour…
This document describes a trading rule that smooths Commodity Channel Index (CCI) values with an exponential moving average (EMA), then uses crossovers between the two series to open and close positions. A downward cross of the EMA through CCI opens a long…
ASCV is described as an expert advisor that trades signals from the BrainTrend1Sig indicator. Its configurable indicator inputs include ATR and stochastic averaging periods, a stochastic smoothing method, and a price type. The advisor checks for a signal…

This description presents an expert advisor that trades signals from an ATR Normalize Histogram indicator. A signal is generated at bar close when the indicator crosses an overbought or oversold threshold and enters the corresponding extreme zone. The…
The document describes an Expert Advisor built around the RJTX_Matches_Smoothed indicator. It separates long and short trades into two independently configured systems, each with its own magic number, position sizing settings, and permissions to open or…
This document gives basic setup guidance for using CSV trade signals with an Expert Advisor. Its sample data shows fields for trade identifiers, opening and closing times and prices, stop and profit levels, order type, and symbol. The practical instruction…
This Expert Advisor follows trend changes signaled by the JFatlCandle indicator. It acts after a bar closes and identifies a new direction when the candle color changes. Position size is adjusted using recent trade outcomes, with separate settings for buys…
The normalized volume oscillator expresses current volume as a percentage deviation from a rolling average. Values below zero indicate volume below that average; positive values indicate higher activity. The displayed histogram assigns colors to ranges:…
This document introduces a simple trading signal built around Bollinger Bands and explains how to make it available in the MQL5 Expert Advisor Wizard. It says the signal is intended as a reusable component for wizard-generated robots, rather than a…
The Volume-Weighted Price Displacement Oscillator measures how far the current close is from a rolling volume-weighted average price, then divides that difference by rolling price volatility. This produces a z-score-like reading centered on the VWAP anchor:…
This document describes a Forex strategy that uses two custom oscillator lines, calculated by the StocEvo indicator. It proposes entering long when the green line crosses above the red line and its value is above 36, and entering short when the red line…
The Currency Strength Index (CSI) compares the relative momentum of eight major currencies by mathematically decorrelating 28 currency pairs. It uses percentage differences in linearly weighted averages of closing prices to help distinguish whether a pair’s…
This expert advisor is described as a system that generates a signal when a bar closes and the ColorMETRO_Stochastic indicator’s cloud changes color. The description implies that the color transition determines the trading signal, but it does not specify the…
This note explains a chart indicator that marks each daily bar according to whether its close is above or below its open. It copies daily timestamps, opens, and closes into arrays, then draws a filled rectangle across each day’s time span between those…
The document describes an MT4 script that gathers market and symbol details into one view. It combines MarketInfo values with validated symbol properties, including margin requirements and leverage, so traders can inspect conditions for a selected instrument…
This document explains a MetaTrader 4 indicator for calculating pivot-like price levels according to a chosen session time zone. It distinguishes the time zone used by the chart’s server from the target session’s time zone, allowing levels to align with a…
