MTF Trend Matrix - indicator for MetaTrader 5

MTF Trend Matrix puts the trend picture of your whole watchlist in one small table, so you can see at a glance which symbols are trending, on which timeframes, and which ones are just ranging.

Each row is a symbol and each column is a timeframe. Every cell shows the trend direction and the current ADX value, coloured by how strong the trend is. By default it watches XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY and AUDUSD on M5, M15, H1, H4 and D1, and you can add oil (for example UKOIL, USOIL, XBRUSD or XTIUSD, depending on your broker) or any other symbol.

How each cell is decided

• Direction: fast EMA (20) above the slow EMA (50) is Up, below is Down.
• Strong (bright colour): the closing price is also on the trend side of the fast EMA.
• Weak (dim colour): the EMAs point one way but price has pulled back across the fast EMA.
• Ranging (grey, "Rng"): ADX is below the threshold (20 by default), so the EMA direction is not trusted.
• "..." means the history for that symbol and timeframe is still loading.

The Bias column counts how many timeframes agree, from +N (all up) to -N (all down). It turns green or red when all or all but one timeframe agree.

Features

• Any list of symbols (up to 12) and timeframes (up to 9), typed as comma-separated text.
• CURRENT always means the chart's own symbol, which is highlighted in gold.
• Broker suffixes are handled: if your chart is EURUSD.m, the indicator also tries XAUUSD.m.
• Click a symbol name to switch the chart to that symbol.
• Uses the last closed bar by default, so cells don't flicker during a candle.
• Panel can sit in any chart corner; colours, font size and refresh rate are adjustable.
• Indicator handles are created once at start-up, so it stays light even with many cells.

The indicator only reads prices and draws a panel. It never opens, changes or closes trades, and it is a reading aid, not a signal service.
