Using Quarters Theory Levels to Detect Price Intrusions

Article MQL5 articles

Summary

This article describes an Expert Advisor that plots and monitors price levels derived from Quarters Theory, a framework that divides price ranges into major whole numbers, large and small quarters, and overshoot or undershoot zones. The EA checks each tick for proximity to those levels within a configurable tolerance, then issues an alert and displays commentary about possible support, resistance, breakouts, or reversals. Users can control which levels appear and customize their chart styles and messages.

The article explains the monitoring logic and summarizes its configurable inputs, but the supplied text cuts off during the implementation details and provides no quantitative test results or evidence that the alerts predict profitable trades. The interpretations of levels are presented as potential market reactions, not validated signals. Its emphasis is on automating chart observation, particularly for currency pairs, rather than specifying entries, exits, or risk controls for a complete strategy.

Key ideas

  • Quarters Theory divides price ranges into major levels, large and small quarters, and overshoot or undershoot zones.
  • The EA checks live prices against configured levels using a proximity tolerance and issues alerts for detected intrusions.
  • Users can customize which levels are drawn, their appearance, and the commentary associated with each level.
  • The article gives no quantitative evidence that level interactions predict profitable trades.
