Using the SSL Trend Indicator to Mark Changes and Send Alerts

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

The document describes an SSL trend indicator that marks possible trend-change moments with colored icons. It can also generate alerts, including email and push notifications. This makes it a visual monitoring tool for traders who want signals surfaced without watching the chart continuously.

The description does not explain the indicator’s calculation, signal rules, or how it performs across markets and timeframes. It references a supporting smoothing-algorithm library and an article about averaging price series, but offers no test results or guidance for interpreting false signals. The indicator should therefore be understood as a signal display and alert mechanism, not as a fully specified trading strategy. The brief account gives no entry, exit, or risk-management rules.

Key ideas

  • The SSL indicator marks potential trend changes with colored chart icons.
  • It can issue alerts through email and push notifications.
  • The document does not specify the signal calculation or provide performance evidence.
  • The indicator alone does not define entry, exit, or risk-management rules.
