Gold Adx Atr Dashboard
- Indicators
- Version: 1.0
- Activations: 10
Nothing to ask. The rule is in the product name, and the thresholds are measured from your own account.
Gold ADX ATR Dashboard marks the closed bar on which a pullback inside an ADX trend has finished. It uses two textbook indicators and nothing else: ADX for direction, ATR for size. There is not a single threshold, period or multiplier for you to set. The depth a pullback must reach is measured from your own account, and that measurement is printed on the chart so you can check it.
It draws. It does not trade. No orders, no modifications, no closing, no account access.
WHY THE CALIBRATION PANEL IS THE POINT
Two traders run the same indicator with the same settings on the same instrument and get different signals, because their brokers are not the same. Symbol names differ. Digits differ. Spreads differ. Server clocks differ. Most tools answer this with fixed presets per symbol, or by optimising parameters against past results. This one measures your account instead, and shows you what it measured.
- Symbol: the gold symbol found on your account, whatever your broker calls it.
- Digits and Point: read from your account.
- Tick value: the value your broker returns, printed with the currency code it is denominated in.
- Spread: the median of the last 200 closed bars, in points.
- Server-GMT: the offset between your broker clock and GMT, in hours.
- ATR(14): the current value, in points.
- Pullback floor: the number that actually gates a signal, and the formula that produced it.
On a gold chart the floor might read 408 pts. On EURUSD, same version, same settings, it reads 152 pts. Nothing was configured to make that happen.
THE COMPLETE RULE - NOTHING IS HIDDEN
Direction, from ADX(14) on the closed bar:
trend exists when ADX >= 20
up when +DI > -DI, down when -DI > +DI
below 20 there is no direction and no signal
Pullback floor, recalculated once per day:
floor = max(0.5 x ATR(14), 8 x median spread)
the median spread used for a bar is taken from the 200 closed bars
that finished before that bar's day began
For an uptrend:
1. H = the highest high among the closed bars before the current one
2. the pullback starts when H - Low[i] >= floor
3. the pullback completes when a closed bar closes above the previous bar's high
4. one arrow is placed 0.25 x ATR below that bar's low
5. no further long signal until H is exceeded again
6. the pullback state is discarded if ADX drops below 20 or the DI order flips
Downtrends are the mirror image.
WHAT YOU SEE ON THE CHART
- One arrow on the closed bar where the pullback completed, labelled Long setup or Short setup.
- The calibration panel described above.
- Four timeframes at once: M5, M15, H1 and H4, each showing Up, Down, Pullback up, Pullback down or No trend, with its ADX value.
- The count of signals produced today on the chart timeframe. It resets at the start of each day, because this product does not keep score.
- A written state whenever nothing is drawn: Calibrating, No trend, Waiting for pullback to start, Waiting for pullback to complete, Not enough history.
Alerts carry the symbol, the timeframe and the condition that was met, on screen, by push and by email. One alert per bar.
IT DOES NOT REDRAW
Nothing is drawn on a forming bar. A signal appears only after the bar closes, and it stays where it appeared. The floor for a given bar is fixed by the days before it, so recalculating the history produces the same arrows in the same places. Switch timeframes and the arrows do not increase or decrease.
INPUTS - TEN, AND NONE OF THEM CHANGE A THRESHOLD
Panel on or off, panel corner, panel font size, arrow colours, arrow size, and three alert switches. That is the whole list. The font size is display only and does not affect any calculation.
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
- It does not open, close or modify positions. It calls no trading functions at all, verified mechanically.
- It does not report results, statistics or scores of any kind. There is no such feature in the product.
- It does not let you change thresholds, periods or multipliers. Those inputs do not exist.
- It does not claim anything for symbols other than gold. It runs elsewhere, but the calibration is sized for gold. On EURUSD the floor lands near six times ATR, so signals are rare by construction.
- It does not react on a forming bar. Waiting for the close is the design, not a delay.
- It does not move or delete what it has already drawn.
- It does not avoid economic releases. This product does not read the calendar.
- It does not print more than one signal per bar.
- It does not finish calibrating when the history is short. It shows Calibrating and waits.
- It does not correct your server clock. It shows the offset and leaves the time alone.
- It does not judge the first 42 loaded bars. That is the ADX warm-up, and no arrow is placed there.
- It does not show dashboard rows shorter than the chart timeframe inside the Strategy Tester. The terminal does not allow that request, so those rows show a dash. Open the tester on M5 and all four rows appear.
- It does not convert Tick value into your account currency. It prints the number the broker returned together with that number's currency code.
- If you attach it to a chart that is not gold, the Symbol line still names the gold symbol on your account, while the other fields describe the chart you are on.
FREE DEMO
The demo runs in the Strategy Tester in visual mode, and every part works there: the calibration panel, the four timeframe rows, the arrows and the alerts. Open it on M5 so that all four rows are available.
REQUIREMENTS
- MetaTrader 5. Built for gold, on whatever symbol name your broker uses.
- Ten inputs, all display or notification. There is no set file to ask for.
- English interface.
TECHNICAL NOTE FOR CALLING IT FROM YOUR OWN EA
Buffer 0 is the Long setup price, buffer 1 is the Short setup price, EMPTY_VALUE on bars without a signal. This indicator uses no input group, so the ten inputs are simply arguments 1 to 10 in the order listed above.
