Range Expansion Index Signals at Overbought and Oversold Levels

Summary

This expert advisor uses a Range Expansion Index oscillator to generate signals when a bar closes after the indicator crosses an upper overbought or lower oversold threshold. The threshold values are user-configurable, with defaults of 60 and negative 60. The document describes the EA’s dependency on a compiled indicator and notes that a trading library can support brokers with nonzero spreads and stop-loss or take-profit settings at entry.

The article refers to chart examples and tests on EURUSD at the eight-hour timeframe for 2014, but gives no numerical performance statistics or detailed test methodology in the supplied text. The cited tests used default EA inputs and omitted stop-loss and take-profit settings. As a result, the material explains the signal trigger and setup requirements but does not establish profitability, robustness across markets, or the effects of risk controls.

Key ideas

• The EA generates a signal when a closing bar crosses a configured overbought or oversold level of the Range Expansion Index.
• The default upper and lower thresholds are 60 and negative 60.
• The EA requires a separately compiled indicator to run.
• The described EURUSD tests used the default inputs and did not include stop-loss or take-profit settings.
• The document provides no numerical performance measures or evidence of robustness across instruments.
