ColorBulls Histogram Color-Change Trading System for GBPJPY

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This Expert Advisor trades from the ColorBulls indicator. A signal is generated when a bar closes and the indicator histogram changes color, making the bar close the stated decision point. The document describes the required compiled indicator and notes that a trading library can support brokers with nonzero spreads and allow stop loss and take profit settings when opening positions.

The document refers to test results for GBPJPY on an eight-hour chart during 2014. It says those tests used the Expert Advisor's default inputs and did not use stop loss or take profit, but provides no numerical performance statistics in the supplied text. The reference is therefore limited: it does not establish performance across other instruments, timeframes, parameter choices, or market periods. The signal rule is described, but detailed trade management and risk controls are not explained.
