VibeFox Auto Channel — automatic linear-regression channel with bounce and breakout entry points
VibeFox Auto Channel is a real-time channel indicator for MetaTrader 5. It fits a linear-regression channel to the most recent price action, draws the mid line together with the upper and lower borders, marks the moment a bounce or breakout entry signal appears right on the price chart, and gathers every control into one modern interactive panel. Instead of drawing trend channels by hand, you see the statistical channel and the entry point at the very moment they form.
How the indicator works
The indicator builds a linear-regression channel over a sliding window of the last Lookback bars. The mid line is the least-squares regression of close price against bar index — the straight line that best fits the recent trend. The channel borders run parallel to the mid line, offset above and below it by a half-width that measures how far price typically strays from the trend.
The half-width is controlled by two settings. Deviation is the multiplier that scales the channel width, and Mode decides how the base width is measured. In StdDev mode the half-width is Deviation times the standard deviation of the residuals (the distances of each close from the regression line), so the channel breathes with volatility. In MaxDev mode the half-width is set to the largest single deviation in the window, so the borders envelop the whole price swing. Three rays — mid, upper and lower — extend to the right from the start of the window and are recomputed on every new bar, so the channel always tracks the current trend.
The channel is drawn directly on the price chart as ray objects, while the indicator itself lives in its own subwindow, where the control panel sits.
Entry points
The main value of VibeFox Auto Channel is its automatic entry points: the indicator tracks the conditions itself and places a clear marker right on the price chart. Two independent signal types are available, each with its own toggle.
Entry — Bounce
The bounce signal trades the channel as a range. When price tags the lower border and the bar closes back inside the channel, a BUY marker is placed — the down-move was rejected at support. When price tags the upper border and closes back inside, a SELL marker appears — the up-move was rejected at resistance. This is the mean-reversion signal: it fades the extremes and aims for the mid line.
Entry — Break
The break signal trades momentum. A close beyond the upper border places a BUY marker — price is breaking out of the channel to the upside. A close beyond the lower border places a SELL marker — price is breaking down. This is the continuation signal: it reacts when the market leaves the statistical channel rather than respecting it.
Buy and sell markers are colored separately with the Buy Color and Sell Color settings, so direction is read instantly. The Marker selector switches the glyph between a plain cross (+), filled triangles, or arrows with a tail, while the Size control scales the marker in pixels (6 to 40) to fit any chart density.
Full visual control
The channel line color is set with Channel Line Color and the thickness with Channel Line Width from 1 to 5 pixels. The line and both entry markers each support a transparency setting (0-100%) in the color picker popup, so you can blend them softly into the chart background. Markers on the price chart are sized and colored independently, so entries stand out clearly against any background.
Interactive on-chart panel
The whole interface is a smooth canvas-based panel built for fast mouse control. The channel parameters are gathered into tidy rows, and the entry block is set apart with its own gold ENTRY heading, so signal settings do not get mixed up with line settings. The panel header holds the control icons.
Power — turns the drawing of entry markers on and off without removing the indicator from the chart (the channel itself stays drawn).
Settings (gear) — opens and closes the settings section.
Updown (arrows) — moves the panel between its subwindow and the main chart.
Close (cross) — closes the indicator.
Resizable — drag the bottom-right corner to scale the panel.
Collapsible — a double click on the header collapses the panel into a compact strip.
Mouse wheel — hover over any numeric field and scroll the wheel to change the value without opening the keyboard.
Settings and personalization
The Settings button opens a section where the panel is fitted to your workspace: a light, dark or automatic Theme, an adjustable panel width, header size, row height and font size. Extra touches let you hide the bottom bar via Hide Footer, shrink the header when collapsed with Mini Header, and automatically collapse the panel on a click outside it. Almost every parameter changes live right on the panel — the input fields on the Inputs tab only set the starting values. You can also run several independent copies on one chart by giving each a unique Instance, to compare different channel settings side by side.
Entry notifications
You do not need to sit and guard the chart waiting for a signal. Each entry can be sent through several notification channels that are enabled independently right on the panel.
Alert — a pop-up message inside the terminal.
Push — a mobile notification to the MetaTrader app on your phone.
Email — a letter sent through the terminal's mail settings.
Telegram — the alert text together with a chart screenshot, sent straight to your Telegram chat.
Enable only the channels you need, and you will be notified the moment a new entry appears on the symbol and timeframe you are working with.
Visual history (HTML report)
Enable the Html channel, and every entry signal is saved to an HTML report together with a screenshot of the chart at the moment it fired. The report is stored in the terminal's Files folder, in the VibeFox_Auto_Channel directory (MQL5/Files/VibeFox_Auto_Channel/result.html), and opens in any browser — you get a visual log of all the entries the indicator found. A one-click trash button clears the report and its screenshots whenever you want to start over.
Telegram Alerts
Signals can also be delivered straight to your Telegram chat — the alert text together with a screenshot of the chart at the moment of detection. Turn on the Telegram channel and enter your bot token and chat id in the inputs.
Delivery rides on the HTML report: each new signal is written into the report, and the report — opened in a browser — forwards it to your Telegram chat on its own. For this reason, enabling Telegram automatically keeps the Html report on, and the two channels work together.
Built-in multilingual help
A full help page is built into the panel, available in multiple languages, so every control is explained right where you use it.
