TrendEnvelopes Signals and a USDCHF Historical Test

Summary

This brief description introduces an Expert Advisor based on the TrendEnvelopes semaphore indicator. It generates a trade signal when a colored point appears at the close of a bar, with the point’s color indicating the trade direction. The document also notes that the test used the EA’s default inputs and did not use stop-loss or take-profit orders.

The evidence mentioned is a historical test on USDCHF using four-hour bars for 2011, accompanied by chart illustrations of trades and test results. No numerical performance measures or detailed test settings are provided in the text, so the charts cannot be evaluated from the description alone. The results are specific to one currency pair, timeframe, year, and configuration; they do not establish that the signal is profitable in other conditions. The document offers a basic account of a signal rule and a historical test, but little information about risk controls, transaction costs, or repeatability.

Key ideas

• The EA uses TrendEnvelopes indicator points to signal trades at bar close.
• The point color indicates the direction of the signal.
• The described historical test used USDCHF four-hour data from 2011.
• The test used default inputs and no stop-loss or take-profit orders.
• The text gives no numerical performance statistics or detailed cost assumptions.
