Ichimoku Cloud Fill with Cross Alerts MT4 brings a TV-compatible Ichimoku Cloud to MetaTrader 4. If you also chart on TradingView, you know its built-in "Ichimoku Cloud": five lines and a soft green or red cloud. This MT4 indicator reproduces that calculation, the same defaults and the same placement of the spans, and fills the cloud with solid color bars instead of hatching.

What it is for: seeing where price stands against the middle of recent ranges and how the cloud ahead is shaped. What it is not: a buy or sell signal or a forecast. A cross or a cloud break says nothing certain about what price will do next.

THE CALCULATION IN SHORT

Line | Formula (default length) | Same as TradingView?

Conversion Line | (highest high + lowest low) / 2 (9) | yes

Base Line | (highest high + lowest low) / 2 (26) | yes

Leading Span A | (Conversion + Base) / 2 | yes

Leading Span B | (highest high + lowest low) / 2 (52) | yes

Lagging Span | close | yes

Shift: with "Lagging Span" = 26, the leading spans are drawn 25 bars ahead and the Lagging Span 25 bars back, as on TradingView (offset = displacement - 1). MT4's built-in Ichimoku uses 26, so its cloud is one bar to the right of this one. Cloud color: green when Span A > Span B, red otherwise.

DOES IT REPAINT?

Closed bars: no. Their values are final.

The forming bar: yes, in the same way as on TradingView. Its lines, the newest cloud point 25 bars ahead and the newest Lagging Span point 25 bars back move with every tick until the bar closes. Alerts therefore look only at closed bars. Drawing spans ahead and behind is the normal Ichimoku layout, not a redraw of history.

MT4 SETUP NOTES - PLEASE READ

1. Colors come from the inputs. Set the line and cloud colors in the Inputs tab; the Colors tab is overridden by these inputs. Set a line color to None to hide that line.

2. MT4 has no area fill, so the cloud is drawn with histogram bars whose width follows the chart zoom. At large zoom levels you may see thin vertical gaps in the cloud. The cloud color is mixed with the chart background (Cloud opacity %, 1-100) and follows background changes.

3. Candles on top: with the fill on, the indicator switches on "Chart on foreground" so the candles stay visible above the cloud. This also puts the candles above the Ichimoku lines and any other indicator on the chart. The change may appear with the next price tick.

4. Removing the last copy restores your original setting (if another tool by the same author that uses this setting is still on the chart, it is restored when the last of them is removed). About once per second the indicator checks that the setting is still on. If you delete all chart objects while it is attached, the original setting may not come back; then switch off "Chart on foreground" in the chart properties (F8).

5. Right after loading, the name in the indicator list can briefly read "probe#..." while it checks that it is attached to a chart. This is normal.

6. MT4 shows the inputs without group headings, in the order listed below.

ALERTS

Off by default. Two independent switches:

- "Alert: Conversion Line crosses Base Line": one alert when a bar closes with the Conversion Line crossed above or below the Base Line;

- "Alert: close breaks above / below the cloud": one alert when a bar closes above the top or below the bottom of the cloud drawn under that bar (the cloud you see);

- never for bars that closed before the indicator was loaded, so a restart does not repeat old alerts;

- text example: "Ichimoku TV GBPUSD H4: Conversion Line crossed below Base Line (1.26985)";

- pop-up, sound and push (MetaQuotes ID required) can be combined; English or Japanese text (Language input).

- No alerts in the Strategy Tester.

COMPARED WITH TRADINGVIEW

We fed TradingView's own price bars into MetaTrader and compared the result with TradingView's built-in Ichimoku Cloud: the five lines, the cloud color and the shift agreed, with differences only at floating-point rounding level (around 1e-12). Your MT4 chart uses your broker's prices, which differ slightly from TradingView's feed, so expect small differences in the values.

iCUSTOM BUFFERS

0/1: cloud (Span A / Span B) on bars where Span A > Span B. 2/3: cloud (Span A / Span B) on the other bars. 4: Conversion Line. 5: Base Line. 6: Lagging Span (= close). 7: Leading Span A. 8: Leading Span B.

MT4's iCustom returns the value at the bar where it is drawn: for the cloud and the leading spans, the value calculated 25 bars earlier; for the Lagging Span, the close of the bar 25 bars newer. Outside the drawn range, MT4 returns 0.0 instead of EMPTY_VALUE.

Called through iCustom, the indicator does not change chart settings and sends no alerts. The inputs have no group headings, so pass the inputs in the order below.

INPUTS (MT4 ORDER)

Conversion Line Length = 9 (1-1000); Base Line Length = 26 (1-1000); Leading Span B Length = 52 (1-1000); Lagging Span (displacement) = 26 (1-1000); Conversion Line color = #2962FF; Base Line color = #B71C1C; Lagging Span color = #43A047; Leading Span A color = #A5D6A7; Leading Span B color = #EF9A9A; Line width = 1 (1-5); Show cloud fill = true; Cloud color when Span A > Span B = #43A047; Cloud color when Span A < Span B = #F44336; Cloud opacity % = 10 (1-100); Draw price bars above the cloud = true; Alert: Conversion Line crosses Base Line = false; Alert: close breaks above / below the cloud = false; Alert by pop-up = true; Alert by sound = false; Alert by push notification = false; Language = Auto (terminal language), English or Japanese.

Out-of-range values stop the indicator from loading, with the reason in the Experts log.

GOOD TO KNOW

- No DLLs, no files, no internet access.

- This is an analysis tool. It does not open or close trades, and no trading result is promised.

Elliott Wave Auto Count for MetaTrader 4 labels Elliott waves automatically on four degrees at the same time: the base degree and the three degrees above it. It follows the rules and guidelines of "Elliott Wave Principle" (Frost & Prechter), and for the current wave it shows a price x time target zone and an invalidation level. It is meant for MT4 traders who use Elliott wave analysis and want a rule-based starting count, with the alternate count and the invalidation level always visible. It is

Fibo Price Time Zones combines Fibonacci price levels with Fibonacci time targets and draws them on the chart as boxes (price x time zones). Where boxes from several waves and from up to two higher timeframes overlap, the area is emphasized in three levels. It is meant for traders who already use Fibonacci retracements and extensions and also want to see roughly when a level is worth watching, without drawing every tool by hand. It is a display tool only: it gives no buy or sell signals and doe

Supply & Demand Zones marks supply and demand zones on a MetaTrader 5 chart with one fixed, fully published rule: a strong bar (body at least X times ATR) that leaves a short "base" of small-body bars behind it. The base becomes a demand zone when the strong bar is bullish and closes above it, or a supply zone when the strong bar is bearish and closes below it. Each zone shows its state: fresh, touched with a count, or broken. It is meant for traders who draw these zones by hand and want them d

RSI AutoScale is a clean, lightweight RSI for traders who use both TradingView and MetaTrader 5 and want the two charts to look the same. WHAT IT SHOWS - RSI (Wilder smoothing): the same values as the standard RSI, with any applied price. - Signal line on the RSI: SMA, EMA, SMMA or LWMA, with its own period. - Levels: upper, middle and lower lines (70 / 50 / 30 by default). They use MT5's native levels, so they reach the right edge and their values appear on the scale. - Zone fills: the middle

Stoch RSI Band Fill is a Stochastic RSI indicator for MetaTrader 5. MT5 does not include a built-in Stoch RSI, so this indicator adds one. It follows the same calculation steps as the built-in Stoch RSI on TradingView and uses the same layout: K and D lines, 80 / 50 / 20 levels and a shaded band between the upper and lower levels. CALCULATION, STEP BY STEP 1. RSI of the selected price (default: close, length 14), smoothed with Wilder's method (RMA). The first average is the simple average of the

Pivot Points Six Types with Level Alerts is a TV-compatible pivot point indicator for MetaTrader 5. It uses the same formulas and the same period boundaries as the "Pivot Points Standard" indicator that comes with TradingView, and it draws the levels the same way: short horizontal lines that start at the first bar of each period, with "R1 (price)" style labels in orange (#FB8C00). SIX CALCULATION TYPES The levels are calculated from the high, low and close of the previous period. - Traditional

Supertrend Trend Fill with Change Alerts is a TV-compatible Supertrend for MetaTrader 5. It uses the same calculation as the "Supertrend" indicator built into TradingView and draws it the same way: a green line below price in an up trend, a red line above price in a down trend, and a light fill between the line and the middle of each candle body. Supertrend shows the direction of the trend. It is a charting aid, not a buy or sell signal, and it does not predict where price will go. HOW IT IS C

MACD Four Color Histogram is a MACD for MetaTrader 5 that uses the same formula and the same look as the built-in MACD on TradingView. It is made for traders who use both platforms and want the MACD on each chart to read the same way. HOW IT DIFFERS FROM THE MT5 STANDARD MACD - MT5 standard MACD: the histogram is the MACD line itself, and the signal line is an SMA. - This indicator: three parts, as on TradingView. MACD line, signal line, and histogram = MACD - signal. The histogram has 4 colors.

VWAP Band Fills with Anchored VWAP is a TV-compatible VWAP for MetaTrader 5. It uses the same formula as the built-in "VWAP" indicator of TradingView (Pine ta.vwap), offers the same inputs - anchor period, source, offset, standard deviation or percentage bands #1 to #3 - and draws it the same way: a blue VWAP line, green / olive / teal bands and light fills between them. An optional anchored VWAP starts from a vertical line that you drag to any bar. HOW IT IS CALCULATED For every bar of the cu

Prior Day Week Month Levels with Touch Alerts draws the previous day, week and month high and low on your MetaTrader 5 chart as clean horizontal lines with labels at the right edge, in the style of TradingView. It can also show the previous day's close and today's open. LEVELS - PDH / PDL: previous day high and low (blue #2962FF, solid) - PWH / PWL: previous week high and low (orange #FF9800, dashed) - PMH / PML: previous month high and low (purple #9C27B0, dash-dot) - PDC: previous day close (

Candle Countdown Tag with Spread shows how long the current candle has left, in a small colored tag right next to the last candle - the way TradingView shows its bar countdown. The same tag can also show the current spread, the time left of up to two more timeframes and the open time of the next candle. It is a display tool for MetaTrader 5: no alerts, no signals, no trading. WHAT IT SHOWS - Time left of the chart timeframe: mm:ss under one hour, hh:mm:ss under one day, "2d 04:15:30" for longe

Do you mark supply and demand zones by hand and get a slightly different result every time? This free MetaTrader 4 indicator draws them with one fixed rule that is written out in full below, so you can check every zone yourself. The idea: a strong candle (body at least X times ATR) leaves a "base" of 1 to 10 small candles right before it. A bullish strong candle that closes above the base turns it into a demand zone; a bearish one that closes below it turns it into a supply zone. The indicator

This is the MetaTrader 4 edition of RSI AutoScale. It draws the standard Wilder RSI with a signal line, a shaded band between the levels, colored areas where the RSI leaves that band, and a choice of three scales. It is meant for traders who use TradingView and MetaTrader 4 side by side and want the RSI pane to look much the same on both. HOW IT LOOKS ON MT4 - RSI line: the same values as MT4's built-in RSI for the same period and applied price. - Signal line: a moving average of the RSI (SMA, E

Supertrend Trend Fill with Change Alerts MT4 brings a TV-compatible Supertrend to MetaTrader 4. If you also use TradingView, you know its built-in "Supertrend": a green line under price while the trend is up, a red line over price while it is down, and a soft colored band between the line and the candles. This MT4 indicator reproduces that calculation and that look. What it is for: seeing the current trend direction and where it would flip. What it is not: a buy or sell signal or a forecast. A

A MetaTrader 4 MACD built to read like the MACD you see on TradingView: a MACD line, a signal line, and a histogram of the gap between them, colored in four shades. If you switch between the two platforms during the day, the MACD pane on your MT4 chart will look and behave the way you are used to. WHY NOT THE MT4 BUILT-IN MACD? MT4's own MACD draws the MACD line as gray bars and smooths the signal line with an SMA. There is no separate histogram and no color change. This indicator calculates the

MetaTrader 4 ships with a Stochastic and an RSI, but not with a Stochastic RSI. This indicator fills that gap for MT4 users and is built to be TV-compatible: it follows the calculation of the Stoch RSI that comes with TradingView, and the pane looks the way TradingView users expect - a blue K line, an orange D line, dashed 80 and 20 levels, a dotted 50 line and a light band between 80 and 20. WHAT APPEARS IN THE SUBWINDOW - K and D lines. The Data Window lists only K and D. - Upper band (80) a

Pivot Points Six Types with Level Alerts MT4 brings TV-compatible pivot points to MetaTrader 4. If you also chart on TradingView, you know its built-in "Pivot Points Standard". This MT4 indicator reproduces it: the same six calculation methods, the same period choices from one day to ten years, and the same look - an orange (#FB8C00) line for each level, starting at the beginning of each period, labelled like "S2 (1.08345)". WHICH LEVELS EACH METHOD GIVES Method | Levels drawn | Note Tradition

Prior Day Week Month Levels with Touch Alerts MT4 puts yesterday's, last week's and last month's high and low on your MetaTrader 4 chart, drawn the way TradingView users are used to seeing them: thin horizontal lines with a short label and price at the right edge. Optional extras: previous day close and today's open, and an alert when price touches a line. WHAT YOU SEE Line | Meaning | Default look PDH | previous day high | blue #2962FF, solid PDL | previous day low | blue #2962FF, solid PWH |

VWAP Band Fills with Anchored VWAP MT4 brings the VWAP of TradingView to MetaTrader 4. If you use TradingView's built-in "VWAP", you will find the same inputs here (Anchor Period, Source, Offset, Bands Calculation Mode, Bands Multiplier #1 to #3, Hide VWAP on 1D or Above), the same formula (Pine ta.vwap) and the same colors - plus an anchored VWAP that starts wherever you drag a vertical line. THE FORMULA Within each anchor period, bar by bar: VWAP = sum(source x tick volume) / sum(tick volume

Candle Countdown Tag with Spread MT4 puts a TradingView-style countdown on your MT4 chart: a small tag beside the last candle that tells you when the bar closes, together with the current spread. Optional extra lines show the time left of two more timeframes and when the next candle opens. Nothing else - it does not trade, alert or give signals. ONE TAG, UP TO FIVE LINES Line | Example | Setting Chart timeframe | 12:41 | on by default Extra timeframe 1 | H4 02:12:41 | off (choose a timeframe t

Dow Structure MTF shows the Dow theory trend of five timeframes at once in MetaTrader 4, using the pullback low / rally high method that is common among Japanese traders. For each timeframe it shows whether the trend is up, down or range, which price would change it, and how far the current price is from that price. Only closed bars are used, so a confirmed result does not change afterwards (no repaint). It is meant for traders who check the trend structure of several timeframes by hand and wan

Time Average Lines draws four averages measured by time, not by the number of bars, so each line keeps the same length of time when you switch timeframes: a time moving average, a TWAP, a same-time-of-day average and a time-based EMA. For the same-time average, the rest of today is shown as a dotted path that joins the past averages; the path is a summary of the past, not a forecast. It is meant for intraday traders who want averages that mean the same thing on M1 and on M15, and who want to co

Auto Trendline Channel MTF draws trendlines, parallel channels and horizontal support / resistance automatically from confirmed swing highs and lows in MetaTrader 4, and records for each line the touch count, close breaks, wick breaks and retests. A table shows, for the chart timeframe and two higher timeframes, the nearest line above and below the price, the distance to it and the Dow theory direction. It is meant for traders who draw trendlines and levels by hand and want them drawn by fixed,

Currency Strength Meter for MetaTrader 4 combines the 28 pairs of the 8 major currencies (USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, AUD, NZD, CAD, CHF) into one strength line per currency, with a ranking table for the chart timeframe, M15, H1, H4 and D1. The full formula is published below. It is meant for MT4 traders who compare currencies before choosing which pair to look at, and who want to know exactly how the numbers are made. It is an analysis aid: it does not tell you when to buy or sell and does not show fu

Trade History Stats Panel for MetaTrader 4 reads the closed trades in your own account history and sums them up in a panel on the chart: number of trades, win rate, profit factor, average P/L per trade, drawdown of the closed-trade curve, holding time, buy / sell, and tables by month, symbol, weekday and hour. It is meant for traders who want to look back at their own past trades, like a trading journal that fills itself in, and to check the numbers by period, symbol or magic number. It never p

Prop Challenge Loss Tracker for MetaTrader 4 shows, in a panel on the chart, how much room is left before the daily loss limit and the maximum loss limit of a funded-account (prop) challenge are reached, and sends staged alerts as the limits are used up. It is meant for traders taking a prop challenge who want to see their remaining loss room at a glance, set to the rules of their own program. It is a display and alert tool only: it never opens, modifies or closes any order. Whether a limit is

Market Structure Liquidity Map for MetaTrader 4 draws smart money concepts (SMC) style market structure on the chart: swing labels, break of structure (BOS), change of character (CHoCH), equal highs and lows, previous day and week levels, liquidity sweeps and unfilled fair value gaps (FVG), with a small table for the chart timeframe and two higher timeframes. It is meant for MT4 traders who read structure and liquidity by hand and want the same levels drawn the same way every time. It is a disp

Divergence Detector for MetaTrader 4 finds regular and hidden divergences between price swings and one oscillator of your choice (RSI, MACD histogram, Stochastic %K, OBV, CCI or Momentum) and draws them on the price chart and in the indicator window, with a small table for four other timeframes. It is meant for MT4 traders who look for divergences by eye and want them found by fixed, visible rules on closed bars. It is a display tool only: it gives no buy or sell signals and does not place orde
