Using Price Action Arrows to Identify Daily Trend Direction

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This indicator is described as a free supplement to a broader Alpha Trend Spotter tool. It uses price action to identify what its author calls the strongest trend for the day, and the instructions say to use it when the companion indicator shows a clear bullish or bearish trend. Its chart signals are color-coded: pink arrows indicate sell signals and green arrows indicate buy signals.

The description recommends use on five-minute, hourly, four-hour, and daily charts, and mentions five-minute binary-option signals. It advises avoiding trading during high-impact news. No rules for calculating the arrows, definitions of a strong trend, sample trades, or performance evidence are included. The signals therefore cannot be independently assessed from this description, and its recommendations should be treated as platform guidance rather than demonstrated results.
