Using DeMarker Signals to Display Higher-Timeframe Trend Changes

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This document describes a MetaTrader indicator that presents signals from the iDeMarkerSign indicator for a selected timeframe. It distinguishes a continuing trend from a newly changed direction with different arrow shapes; color and arrow direction indicate the trend or trade direction. The indicator can also issue alerts and audio notifications.

Its inputs include the asset and calculation timeframe, DeMarker period, overbought and oversold levels, and a bar selection for reading the signal. Separate settings control label names, colors, placement, and alert behavior. The document notes that multiple copies on one chart need distinct label-name values and that the underlying compiled indicator must be installed. It explains the display and configuration, but supplies no trading rules for entries or exits, performance evidence, or evaluation of false signals. The displayed signal should therefore be understood as an indicator visualization, not evidence of a profitable strategy.

Key ideas

  • The indicator displays signals generated by a DeMarker indicator on a selected timeframe.
  • A right arrow marks continuation, while a diagonal arrow marks a direction change.
  • Color and orientation encode trend or deal direction, and alerts can include sound.
  • Inputs control the underlying DeMarker calculation, chart display, and alert behavior.
  • The document provides no evidence about signal accuracy or strategy performance.
