Using a Higher Timeframe for the Psychological Indicator in MetaTrader 5

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This brief MetaTrader 5 indicator note describes a higher-timeframe version of the Psychological indicator. Users can select the chart period through an input parameter, with the example set to a four-hour timeframe. The indicator therefore lets a trader view the Psychological indicator on a timeframe different from the chart currently open.

The note specifies that the base Psychological indicator file must be installed in the platform’s indicators folder for this version to work. It does not explain how the indicator is calculated, define trading thresholds, or describe entry and exit rules. No performance evidence or examples are included, so the material is limited to timeframe configuration and a dependency needed to run the indicator.

Key ideas

  • The indicator allows users to choose a timeframe through an input setting.
  • The example configuration uses a four-hour period.
  • The base Psychological indicator file is required for the higher-timeframe version to run.
  • The note provides no calculation details, trading rules, or performance evidence.
