XDPOCandle Strategy Using Indicator Color Changes

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This Expert Advisor strategy uses color changes in XDPOCandle indicator bars to trigger trades. A signal forms at bar close when the indicator changes from orange to light green or in the reverse direction. The document identifies the required compiled indicator files and notes that a supporting library can accommodate brokers with nonzero spreads and allow stop-loss and take-profit settings when opening positions.

The page refers to testing on EURUSD four-hour data for 2015 and says the illustrated tests used default Expert Advisor inputs without stop-loss or take-profit settings. It provides no numerical performance results in the text, nor does it describe position sizing, other risk controls, or robustness checks. The color transition is therefore the only clearly specified trading rule, and the cited test period and instrument offer limited evidence for judging performance across markets or conditions.

  • A trade signal forms when the indicator candle changes between orange and light green at bar close.

  • The cited test covers EURUSD on four-hour bars during 2015.
