Combining BrainTrend2 and No-Lag LWMA Trend Signals in an Expert Advisor

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

The document describes an expert advisor that runs two independent trading systems based on BrainTrend2 and AbsolutelyNoLagLWMA indicators. Each system generates an entry signal when a bar closes and its indicator shows a trend change through a color change. Correct operation depends on having the compiled indicator files installed in the platform's indicator folder.

The stated test uses the expert advisor's default inputs on GBPUSD at the four-hour timeframe during 2016. Stop loss and take profit were not used in that test. The document refers to example trades and a test-results chart, but the text provides no numerical performance figures, trade counts, or comparison benchmark. It therefore explains the signal construction and a limited test setup, but does not establish robustness or risk-adjusted performance.

Key ideas

  • The expert advisor contains two independent systems using BrainTrend2 and AbsolutelyNoLagLWMA.
  • Signals are generated at bar close when an indicator marks a trend change with a color shift.
  • The compiled indicator files must be installed for the expert advisor to operate correctly.
  • The described test used GBPUSD on a four-hour chart during 2016 with default inputs.
  • Stop loss and take profit were absent from the test, and the text gives no numerical results.
