Hans Indicator: Expanding Time-Zone Corridors for Entry Levels

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

Hans_Indicator_x4 is described as an indicator that builds expanding corridors across time zones. The initial formed corridor spans four hours, and the expansion period spans sixteen hours. Its inputs let the user set the local start hour and a destination time-zone shift, as well as define two separate distances for extending the corridor boundaries. A horizontal shift parameter is also available.

The indicator appears intended to mark price levels around time-based ranges, with the two extensions potentially serving as entry thresholds. However, the document provides only a short description and input comments; it does not specify how signals are triggered, how the corridors are calculated from prices, or how the indicator should be traded. It includes no chart examples, performance evidence, or risk guidance, so practical interpretation requires the original indicator documentation and independent testing.

Key ideas

  • The indicator forms a time-zone corridor and expands it over a later period.
  • Its inputs configure the corridor's start time, time-zone shift, and two boundary-extension distances.
  • The indicator includes a horizontal display shift parameter.
  • The document does not explain signal rules or provide backtest evidence.
  • Users would need further documentation to assess how corridor levels should be traded.
