ForceTrend Expert Advisor: Trading Indicator Color Changes

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This document outlines an Expert Advisor that trades signals from the ForceTrend indicator. A signal is generated when a bar closes and the indicator bar changes color. The system relies on a compiled indicator file and describes a supporting library for broker compatibility, including handling nonzero spreads and setting stop-loss or take-profit values when opening a position.

The cited test used the advisor's default inputs on GBP/USD four-hour bars in 2015, with neither stop-loss nor take-profit enabled. The page refers to chart examples and a results chart, but provides no numerical performance statistics or detail about costs, position sizing, or robustness across other periods and markets. The described color-change rule is therefore a basic signal specification; the limited test information is insufficient to judge its effectiveness.

Key ideas

  • The advisor enters based on a ForceTrend indicator color change confirmed at bar close.
  • The referenced test used GBP/USD four-hour data from 2015 with default inputs.
  • Stop-loss and take-profit settings were not used in the reported test.
  • The page gives no numerical performance measures or evidence across other markets and periods.
