Trading on XDerivative Oscillator Direction Changes
Article MQL5 code base
Summary
This Expert Advisor generates signals when the XDerivative oscillator changes direction at a bar close. It translates that change into trade entries; the document does not specify additional filters, exit logic, or position sizing rules.
The page cites test results for USDJPY on a four-hour chart in 2014, using default inputs and no stop loss or take profit. It offers no numerical performance measures or discussion of drawdowns, transaction costs, or robustness, so the test reference alone cannot establish profitability. The EA also depends on a separately compiled indicator, which is a practical deployment requirement.
Key ideas
- The EA enters based on a change in direction of the XDerivative oscillator.
- Signals are evaluated when a bar closes.
- The documented USDJPY test used a four-hour chart and default inputs.
- The stated test omitted stop loss and take profit, limiting what can be inferred about risk control.
