Schaff Momentum Trend Cycle Breakout Signals for an Expert Advisor

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

The Expert Advisor generates signals from changes in the Color Schaff Momentum Trend Cycle oscillator. It waits for a bar to close and triggers when the oscillator crosses an overbought or oversold threshold. The document describes the signal rule and notes that the advisor depends on a separately compiled indicator file to run.

A referenced test uses default inputs on GBPJPY at the four-hour timeframe during 2014. Stop loss and take profit were disabled for those tests, limiting what can be inferred about risk control or trade management. The text mentions chart examples and a testing-results chart but gives no numerical performance statistics, details of execution assumptions, or evidence across other markets and periods. The results therefore provide only a narrow historical example, not enough information to assess robustness or live-trading suitability.

Key ideas

  • Signals are generated when the oscillator crosses an overbought or oversold level at bar close.
  • The advisor relies on a separately compiled version of the Color Schaff Momentum Trend Cycle indicator.
  • The cited test covers GBPJPY on a four-hour chart during 2014 using default inputs.
  • Stop loss and take profit were not used in that test, and no numerical results are provided.
