A Bar-Close ASCtrend Signal Trading System for GBPUSD

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This document describes an Expert Advisor that trades using the ASCtrend indicator. A signal is generated when a colored indicator point appears at the close of a bar. The system relies on a compiled indicator file and a supporting trading library, which are implementation dependencies rather than elements of the signal logic.

The stated test uses default Expert Advisor inputs on GBPUSD four-hour bars during 2015, with neither stop loss nor take profit enabled. The text refers to charts of trades and test results but provides no numerical performance statistics or explanation of the indicator’s calculation, exit rules, position sizing, or risk controls. As a result, it gives a basic rule and test context, but not enough evidence to judge profitability or robustness. Any interpretation should account for the single market, timeframe, and test period described.

Key ideas

  • The system enters based on ASCtrend indicator points that appear at bar close.
  • The described test uses GBPUSD four-hour data from 2015 and default input settings.
  • Stop loss and take profit orders were not used in the reported test.
  • The document gives no numerical performance measures or detailed risk and exit rules.
