ROC2_VG Color-Change Signals for an Expert Advisor

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This document describes an Expert Advisor that uses changes in the ROC2_VG indicator’s cloud color to generate trade signals at bar close. It also offers an inversion setting that lets the system trade against the indicator’s implied trend. The strategy therefore depends on a color transition rather than a separately stated price or trend filter.

The text refers to example trades and backtest charts for EURAUD on the four-hour timeframe in 2015, using default inputs. It says those tests did not include stop-loss or take-profit settings, so the referenced results do not establish performance with protective exits or across other markets and periods. The EA requires a compiled indicator file, and an auxiliary library is mentioned for broker compatibility and setting exits when opening a position. No numerical performance statistics or detailed evaluation methodology are provided.

Key ideas

  • The EA signals when the ROC2_VG cloud changes color as a bar closes.
  • An inversion option allows trades against the indicator’s trend direction.
  • The document cites EURAUD four-hour backtests from 2015 using default settings.
  • The cited tests omitted stop-loss and take-profit orders, limiting what they show about risk control.
