ColorMETRO_XRSX Trading System: Entering on Cloud Color Changes

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This document describes an automated trading system built around the ColorMETRO_XRSX indicator. It generates a signal when a bar closes and the indicator’s cloud changes color. The text also specifies that the indicator files must be installed in the platform’s indicator directory and mentions a trading library that supports brokers with nonzero spreads and simultaneous stop-loss and take-profit settings.

The document points to example chart trades and a backtest for GBPJPY on an eight-hour timeframe during 2014. It says the displayed tests used default expert-advisor settings and did not use stop-loss or take-profit orders. However, the actual chart details and performance figures are absent from the supplied text, so profitability and risk cannot be assessed. The entry trigger is described, but exit rules, position sizing, transaction costs, and robustness across instruments or periods are not explained.

Key ideas

  • The system signals when a completed bar coincides with a change in the indicator cloud’s color.
  • The example test concerns GBPJPY on an eight-hour timeframe during 2014.
  • The stated test used default advisor inputs and omitted stop-loss and take-profit settings.
  • The document does not provide enough backtest detail to evaluate performance or risk.
