Bar-Close Trading System Based on MFI Slowdown Arrows

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

The document describes an Expert Advisor that trades signals from an MFI_Slowdown indicator. A signal is recognized when a colored arrow appears, and the system generates its signal at the close of the bar. The advisor depends on the compiled indicator being available in the platform's indicators directory, and it references a trade-algorithm library that supports brokers with nonzero spreads and simultaneous stop-loss and take-profit settings.

The document mentions a historical test on GBPJPY using six-hour bars for 2015, with default advisor inputs. It states that stop loss and take profit were not used in those tests, but supplies no numerical performance statistics in the text. The indicator's signal formula, trade sizing, exit logic, and test methodology are not explained, so the described test is insufficient to establish robustness or live-trading suitability. The page gives a system outline and test context rather than a reproducible strategy evaluation.

Key ideas

  • The Expert Advisor uses colored arrows from an MFI_Slowdown indicator as trading signals.
  • Signals are generated when a bar closes.
  • The advisor requires the compiled indicator and references a library for spread-aware trade handling.
  • A 2015 GBPJPY six-hour test is mentioned, with no stop loss or take profit used.
  • The document omits signal details and numerical performance measures.
