RJT Matches Indicator for Trend Changes and Continuation

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

RJT Matches is described as a visual indicator for assessing trend direction and possible turning points. It draws match-like lines from the open of one bar to the close of the next; their inclination and head colors are used to infer trend evolution. The lines are also presented as a way to gauge trend strength and whether a change may be approaching.

The document recommends the indicator for intraday scalping or swing trading on low timeframes measured in minutes or hours. It gives no precise rules for interpreting slopes or colors, no parameter settings, and no evidence from backtests or live results. Traders would need to define objective entry and exit conditions and evaluate the indicator across markets and timeframes before relying on it.
