Trading on XPeriodCandle Trend Changes

Summary

The document describes an Expert Advisor that trades when the XPeriodCandle indicator changes its displayed trend direction. It waits for a bar to close, then opens a trade when the indicator’s candle color signals a change. This makes the entry rule depend on confirmed bar data rather than an intrabar color shift. The page also notes a required compiled indicator file for the EA to run in MetaTrader 5 and mentions a trading library used to support nonzero spreads and stop-loss or take-profit placement alongside entry.

Key ideas

• The EA opens trades after a bar closes and the indicator signals a change in trend direction.
• The trend change is identified through the indicator’s candle colors.
• The EA requires the compiled indicator in the platform’s indicators directory.
• The cited GBP four-hour test covers 2016 and omits stop-loss and take-profit settings.
• The document provides no numerical performance statistics or evidence of robustness beyond the referenced test.
