Displaying Higher-Timeframe Williams %R Trend and Trade Signals

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The iWPRSign_HTF_Signal indicator displays the trend direction or trade signal produced by iWPRSign for a selected bar using colored arrows. A right-pointing arrow marks continuation of the existing trend, while a diagonal arrow marks a change and indicates trade direction. It can also issue alerts and play sounds.

Its signal inputs include an asset, calculation timeframe, ATR period, Williams %R period, and upper and lower threshold levels. Other settings control the selected bar, arrow and label appearance, chart placement, and alert behavior. The description says that multiple copies on one chart need distinct label prefixes and that the companion iWPRSign indicator file must be installed. It provides usage and configuration details but no backtest, accuracy figures, or evidence that the signals are profitable; the arrows visualize the underlying indicator’s output rather than establish a standalone strategy.
