HLR Histogram for Marking Overbought and Oversold Zone Entries

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

The HighestLowestRange indicator is presented as a histogram that marks entry into overbought and oversold zones with color changes. Its first bar in a newly entered zone receives a brighter color when the move follows an opposite trend, drawing attention to a possible shift in direction. This description offers a visual cue for interpreting transitions between directional regimes and stretched conditions.

The document identifies the indicator’s original MQL4 implementation and publication date, but does not explain the calculation, define the zone thresholds, or provide trading rules. It includes no chart evidence, backtest, or performance claims. As a result, it describes an indicator’s visual behavior rather than establishing how reliably its signals predict reversals or continuation. Any use would require consulting the implementation and testing it against the intended market and timeframe.

Key ideas

  • The indicator displays HighestLowestRange readings as a histogram.
  • Color changes identify entry into overbought and oversold zones.
  • The first bar in a zone is brighter when preceded by the opposite trend.
  • The document does not specify thresholds, trading rules, or performance evidence.
