HLRSign Expert Advisor: Trading on Overbought and Oversold Thresholds

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The Expert Advisor uses signals from the HLRSign semaphore indicator. A signal is evaluated when a bar closes, based on the indicator crossing an overbought or oversold threshold. The described default levels are 80 for overbought and 20 for oversold, and the EA offers two modes: trade when the indicator enters either zone, or trade when it exits a zone. These rules make the timing choice configurable, but the document does not explain the indicator’s calculation or provide exit logic beyond the selected signal mode.

The text refers to EURUSD hourly testing for 2014 using default EA parameters, with no stop loss or take profit. It mentions chart examples and test results, but provides no numerical performance measures in the supplied text. That limited evidence does not establish profitability or robustness; transaction costs, risk controls, and behavior across other periods and markets remain unaddressed.

Key ideas

  • The EA evaluates HLRSign signals when a bar closes.
  • The described overbought and oversold thresholds are 80 and 20, respectively.
  • Users can select trades on entry into extreme zones or on exit from them.
  • The document refers to a 2014 EURUSD hourly test using defaults without stop loss or take profit.
  • No numerical results or evidence of performance beyond that test reference is supplied.
