ColorMETRO Trading System Using Cloud Color Changes at Bar Close

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This trading system uses the ColorMETRO indicator to generate a deal signal when the indicator’s cloud changes color at a bar close. The document describes an Expert Advisor that applies this rule and refers to a historical deal chart and testing results for XAUUSD on the four-hour timeframe during 2011. It says the displayed tests used the Expert Advisor’s default input parameters.

The test setup did not use stop-loss or take-profit levels. The text gives no numerical performance measures, detailed trade rules beyond the color-change trigger, or comparison against a benchmark. It also does not explain how the indicator is calculated or whether the reported historical behavior persists in other periods or markets. The described backtest is limited evidence and does not establish that the signal is profitable or robust; risk controls and out-of-sample validation would need separate consideration.

Key ideas

  • A deal signal is triggered when the ColorMETRO cloud changes color at bar close.

  • The referenced test used default Expert Advisor inputs and omitted stop-loss and take-profit levels.
  • No numerical performance results or evidence of robustness across periods and markets are supplied.
