A Two-Color Trend Line and Star Signals from the Leading Indicator

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

Leading_Signal is a MetaTrader indicator that presents trend and signal information in a separate, narrow chart window. It renders the current trend as a straight line in one of two colors and marks signals with colored stars. Its calculations use values from the Leading indicator at a fixed timeframe.

The document is a brief description rather than a trading study. It does not explain how the underlying Leading indicator is calculated, define the conditions that produce stars, or provide testing results. The indicator also depends on a separate Leading file being installed in the platform’s indicators folder. Without those details or evidence, the display can be understood as a visualization of another indicator’s outputs, but its predictive value and trading use cannot be assessed from this text alone.

Key ideas

  • The indicator shows trend direction as a two-color line in a separate chart window.
  • Colored stars mark signals derived from the Leading indicator.
  • Its calculations use the Leading indicator at a fixed timeframe.
  • The description supplies no signal rules or performance evidence, and requires a separate indicator file.
