Darvas Box Breakout Signals and Candle Direction

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This indicator description presents a breakout system based on a Darvas Boxes channel. When price moves outside the channel, the bar color changes to indicate the prevailing direction: blue for rising prices and red for falling prices. Bright shades indicate that the candle direction agrees with the trend, while dark shades indicate that the candle moves against it.

The document explains the visual signal convention but does not specify how the channel is calculated, what qualifies as an exit, or how a trader should enter, exit, or manage risk. It provides no backtest, performance evidence, or market-specific guidance, so the indicator description alone is insufficient to assess profitability or robustness.

Key ideas

  • The indicator uses exits from a Darvas Boxes channel as breakout signals.
  • Blue and red bars distinguish rising and falling trend direction.
  • Brightness indicates whether the candle direction agrees with the trend.
  • The description omits calculation rules, trading parameters, and performance evidence.
