Stowell Three-Bar Net Line Breakout Indicator

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This brief indicator description presents Stowell’s upper and lower three-bar net line patterns. It explains the indicator’s interpretation: a breakout of the three-candle line is treated as a possible trend change. The description distinguishes between displaying all formed patterns and displaying only patterns that have subsequently broken out, controlled by a setting.

The indicator supports multiple timeframes, with a setting that selects the timeframe and a default that follows the chart. The text gives no precise pattern construction rules, entry or exit method, performance evidence, or risk guidance, so it is an overview of display options and intended interpretation rather than a complete trading system. It also notes a two-file compilation requirement, with only one file attached to the chart. The document is a translated indicator description and refers readers to an external source for the original implementation.

Key ideas

  • The indicator plots upper and lower Stowell three-bar net line patterns.
  • A line breakout is interpreted as a possible change in trend.
  • One setting controls whether all formed patterns or only broken patterns are displayed.
  • A timeframe setting allows analysis on another timeframe or the current chart timeframe.
  • The description does not provide pattern formulas, trading rules, or performance results.
