ExTrend Fractal Lines and Their Slope Signal

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

ExTrend is described as an extension of a fractal-line indicator. It draws two current lines based on the highs and lows formed by the latest two fractals, then displays their slope in a separate indicator window. A zero slope corresponds to a horizontal line; positive and negative readings indicate upward and downward tilt. The page says the indicator was optimized for the four-hour chart and notes its earlier implementation in MQL4.

This description explains the indicator’s construction and interpretation, but does not specify entry or exit rules, parameter values, or a trading strategy built around it. It provides no backtest, performance evidence, or discussion of markets where it may be reliable. Fractal-based levels can be used as technical context, but the text alone does not show whether the slope signal has predictive value or how it should be combined with risk controls.

Key ideas

  • ExTrend draws upper and lower lines from the latest two fractals.
  • A separate display indicates the tilt of the fractal lines.
  • Zero indicates a horizontal line, while positive and negative readings indicate opposite slopes.
  • The page gives no rules, backtest evidence, or measured predictive performance.
