MTF Analyzer Indicator For Day Trading
- Indicators
- Version: 1.10
Overview
MTF Analyzer is a comprehensive multi-timeframe analysis dashboard designed for intraday day traders. It simultaneously analyzes four timeframes (M5, M15, H1, H4) using five professional-grade indicators and combines their signals into a single, clear trading recommendation — telling you exactly when to buy, when to sell, and at what price levels.
The dashboard runs in a separate subwindow below your chart, keeping your price action clean while displaying all the information you need to make confident trading decisions. When a high-confidence signal fires, a visual arrow appears directly on the price chart so you never miss an entry opportunity.
How It Works
The indicator analyzes M5, M15, H1, and H4 simultaneously on any symbol. Each timeframe is scored independently using five indicators. The scores are combined across timeframes to produce an overall signal. Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit levels are drawn directly on your chart as horizontal lines. When all timeframes align on a strong directional move, a signal arrow is painted on the chart at the exact bar where the signal fired.
Visual Signal Arrows
When the indicator detects a STRONG BUY or STRONG SELL signal, a colored arrow is drawn directly on the price chart:
- Green up arrow below the candle — STRONG BUY signal. All timeframes aligned bullish, trend confirmed.
- Red down arrow above the candle — STRONG SELL signal. All timeframes aligned bearish, trend confirmed.
Arrow behavior:
- The arrow is drawn only once when the signal first fires
- It is never redrawn due to short-term M5 noise or minor fluctuations
- A new arrow only appears after H4, H1, and M15 have fully reversed direction (EMA and MACD both flip on all three timeframes)
- All arrows remain permanently on the chart so you can scroll back and evaluate signal accuracy over time
- This gives you a clear visual history of every high-confidence signal the indicator has generated
The Five Indicators Used
1. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) Identifies momentum direction and crossovers. A bullish MACD above the signal line adds to the buy score; bearish subtracts.
2. Stochastic Oscillator Detects overbought and oversold conditions. A bullish crossover from the oversold zone is a strong buy confirmation. A bearish crossover from overbought is a sell confirmation.
3. EMA 50 (Exponential Moving Average) Acts as the trend filter. Price above EMA50 = bullish bias. Price below EMA50 = bearish bias. Both H4 and H1 must agree for a strong signal.
4. ADX (Average Directional Index) Measures trend strength. ADX above 25 confirms a real trend is in place (shown as TRD in the panel). ADX below 25 means the market is ranging (RNG) — signals in ranging markets are filtered out to avoid false entries.
5. RSI (Relative Strength Index) Confirms momentum. RSI above 50 supports buys, below 50 supports sells. RSI in oversold territory (below 30) near support is a high-probability buy setup. RSI in overbought territory (above 70) near resistance is a high-probability sell setup.
Signal Levels
STRONG BUY / STRONG SELL — The highest confidence signal. All of the following are true:
- H4 and H1 scores are strongly bullish/bearish
- EMA50 on both H4 and H1 agree on direction
- ADX confirms a real trend is in place
- M15 or M5 provides entry timing confirmation
- A signal arrow is painted on the chart
BUY SIGNAL / SELL SIGNAL — High confidence. H4 and H1 aligned with EMA, M15/M5 confirmed, but ADX not yet trending.
WAIT FOR BUY / WAIT FOR SELL — Trend is aligned on H4 and H1 but M15/M5 entry has not triggered yet. Wait for price to reach the entry zone.
POSSIBLE BUY / POSSIBLE SELL — Partial alignment. Some timeframes agree but not all. Use caution.
NO CLEAR SIGNAL — Mixed signals across timeframes. No trade recommended.
Entry, Stop Loss and Take Profit Lines
Three horizontal lines are always drawn on your chart:
- Yellow line — Entry zone. For buys, this is just above the nearest support level where price should pull back to. For sells, just below the nearest resistance level where price should rally to.
- Red dotted line — Stop Loss, placed beyond the support/resistance level with a configurable pip buffer.
- Green dotted line — Take Profit, placed at the next swing resistance (for buys) or next swing support (for sells) — the natural level where price is likely to reverse.
Both buy and sell zones are always visible on the chart so you can plan ahead regardless of current signal direction.
When to Buy
Open a buy order when:
- A green up arrow appears on the chart (STRONG BUY signal)
- Price pulls back to the yellow entry line (support zone)
- At least one of M5/M15 shows a stochastic crossover from oversold
- RSI is below 50 and turning up
- Price is above EMA50 on H1 and H4
Place Stop Loss at the red line. Take Profit at the green line.
When to Sell
Open a sell order when:
- A red down arrow appears on the chart (STRONG SELL signal)
- Price rallies up to the yellow entry line (resistance zone)
- At least one of M5/M15 shows a stochastic crossover from overbought
- RSI is above 50 and turning down
- Price is below EMA50 on H1 and H4
Place Stop Loss at the red line. Take Profit at the green line.
