Designing a Multi-Timeframe Indicator with Event-Driven Updates

Summary

This brief description outlines an MQL5 indicator approach for showing higher-timeframe logic on a lower-timeframe chart. It highlights synchronizing higher-timeframe data within a lower-timeframe execution loop and using new-bar detection to trigger updates. The stated aim is to make indicator behavior more structured and deterministic while supporting top-down chart analysis.

For visualization, the description mentions standard chart objects, including a Fibonacci chart object, as a way to display an abstract price model such as CRT. It does not define CRT, provide implementation details, show code, or explain how signals are interpreted or traded. There are also no tests, timing measurements, examples of indicator output, or performance results. The page therefore offers a high-level outline of architecture and visualization ideas rather than enough information to reproduce the indicator or assess whether its signals are useful.

Key ideas

• The proposed indicator overlays higher-timeframe logic on a lower-timeframe chart.
• Higher-timeframe data can be synchronized within a lower-timeframe update loop.
• New-bar detection is presented as a way to trigger clearer, more deterministic updates.
• Chart objects can visualize abstract price models such as CRT.
• The description supplies no code, signal rules, or performance evidence.
