Trading Candle Color Changes with an Anchored Momentum Indicator

Summary

This expert advisor trades signals from an Anchored Momentum Candle indicator. A signal is generated when a bar closes and the indicator’s candle color changes; the document says the advisor uses that event to initiate trades. It also notes that a trade-algorithm library supports brokers with nonzero spreads and allows stop-loss and take-profit settings alongside position opening.

The referenced test uses default advisor parameters on USDJPY at the 12-hour timeframe in 2014. Stop loss and take profit were disabled for those tests. The document points to chart examples and a results chart but provides no numerical performance measures or detailed test methodology in the text. It therefore describes the signal rule and test setup, but does not establish profitability or robustness across markets and periods.

Key ideas

• The advisor uses a change in indicator candle color confirmed at bar close as its signal.
• The documented test used USDJPY on a 12-hour timeframe during 2014 with default inputs.
• Stop loss and take profit were not used in the reported test setup.
• The text gives no numerical results or evidence of performance beyond referring to charts.
