XDeMarker Histogram Breakout Signals with Separate Position Sizing

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This trading system uses the XDeMarker_Histogram_Vol indicator to generate entries when a bar closes beyond an overbought or oversold level. It distinguishes two signal levels, assigning each its own order identifier and deposit share, so stronger and ordinary signals can use different position sizes.

The document mentions tests on USDCHF at the two-hour interval during 2017 and refers to a chart of results, but provides no numerical performance measures or detailed analysis. Stop loss and take profit were disabled in those tests. The system also depends on having the compiled indicator available in the platform’s indicator folder. The short description does not specify exit logic, risk controls, or how results might change across markets and time periods, so the referenced test alone is not enough to establish robustness.

Key ideas

  • Entries are triggered when a bar closes beyond an overbought or oversold threshold.
  • The system assigns distinct order identifiers and position sizes to ordinary and stronger signals.
  • The cited backtest covers USDCHF on a two-hour chart during 2017.
  • Stop loss and take profit were not used in the reported tests.
  • The expert advisor requires the compiled indicator to be available in the platform.
