I create MT4 and MT5 indicators. They are mainly arrows and scanner indicators and also some essential utilities.
I'm hoping they will make your trading easier and make you profitable.

Features
- Kalman smoothing to reduce market noise.
- Supertrend bands for trend direction.
- Color-coded dots and arrows for quick reading.
- Arrow signals for trend continuation.
- Custom Timeframe for drawing bands
- Alerts for trend changes.
- Adjustable inputs for different styles.
How to Use
Green dots = bullish bias. Red dots = bearish bias. Gray dots = ranging (do not trade).
For Bullish, make sure that the dots are in a slight upwards slope to confirm up trend and for Bearish dots should be slightly sloping downwards
Note that after trend slope has started, when a retracement happens back to center gray Kalman line, it will flatten a little. That's expected. But overall channel should have already started a slope after trend change.
Do not trade signals, when the lines are flat like this:
This indicates a ranging market. This indicator works best during a trending market.
Best timeframes:
- Scalping: M1–M15 (faster Kalman, shorter ATR).
- Day trading: M15–H1 (default settings work well).
- Swing: H4–D1 (smoother Kalman - higher kalman alpha like 0.05, higher ATR factor).
Market type: Trending pairs depending on market timings: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD.
Avoid very thin/low-liquidity pairs during off-hours.
Quick tip: Check higher timeframe trend first (e.g., H4) then use M15 for entries.
Stops:
If you get a signal when a trend is ending and price is about reverse, it will hit your stop loss despite a good trend slope:
So, keep very close stop loss, just under the green dotted line, or above the red dotted line. And keep Take Profit at least 2-3 times the SL.
If you are quick scalping, the ratio can be 1:1. But still higher TP is recommended.
If you get a signal where price looks like it's already gone too far. So might not get the 1:3 SL:TP ratio, avoid such signals:
So be careful around those.
Trades to Avoid
- Tight sideways ranges with many gray dots.
- Flat slope even though red/green dots are there
- Trading right after major news spikes.
- Low-volume times (weekends, off-session).
- Going against the trend on higher timeframes (be careful)
Conclusion
Use the indicator to spot trend vs range and to time entries with confluence (volume, SR, pivots). Start with defaults. Test on demo. Adjust Kalman and Supertrend to match your timeframe and pair. Combine signals with volume and support/resistance for better results.
