GoldEdgeSignalIndicator

GoldEdge Signal Indicator
 Description
Professional signal indicator for XAUUSD (Gold) based on a validated trend-pullback strategy. Draws BUY/SELL arrows on the chart with calculated SL/TP levels, a real-time dashboard, and popup alerts.

Validated edge: PF 1.44 / Sharpe 3.87 / Max DD 3.95% (12-month backtest, real ticks).

 What It Does
- BUY/SELL arrows drawn directly on the chart at signal bars
- Entry, SL, and TP horizontal lines for the last signal (visual trade setup)
- Live dashboard showing all indicator values and signal conditions in real-time
- Popup alerts when a new signal appears (configurable)

 Strategy (3-Layer Confluence)

Layer 1: H4 Trend Filter
- EMA50 on H4 must be rising (h4ema[1] > h4ema[2])
- Price must be above*EMA50 on H4
- Only trades in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend

 Layer 2: M15 Pullback
- Price must be above EMA55 on M15 (uptrend structure)
- Price must pull back near EMA21 (within 1.0 x ATR)
- This identifies entries at value, not at extremes

 Layer 3: ADX Regime Gate
- ADX(H4) must be above 22 (strong directional trend)
- Eliminates signals in choppy/ranging markets

 Signal Trigger
When all 3 layers align and price resumes in the trend direction (close > previous close):
- BUY arrow appears below the bar (long signal)
- SELL arrow appears above the bar (short signal, if enabled)
