I'm a quant-minded trader and developer. I build MetaTrader tools the way a quant builds models — deterministic, rules-based and non-repainting. No black boxes and no hype: every level and signal comes from defined price-structure logic you can see, tune and verify. - Versione: 1.0

NeuronStructure reads market structure the way a desk does and labels every event on the exact closed bar that confirmed it, so what you see now is what you would have seen then. It is an indicator for chart analysis only: it draws on the chart, it does not place, modify or close trades, it does not send orders, and it does not manage positions or accounts.
It is the market-structure companion to NeuronLiquidity, built to sit alongside it: structure tells you the framework and bias, liquidity tells you where the stops rest. Native MQL5, no DLLs, non-repainting closed-bar logic, on forex, gold and metals, indices and crypto across any timeframe.
=== HOW IT WORKS ===
Structure is detected from confirmed fractal swings, not from the live candle and not from a moving average or oscillator. A swing high or low is confirmed only after the required number of bars form on each side of it, and confirmed swings are tagged HH, HL, LH or LL.
- BOS (Break of Structure) marks continuation. In an uptrend a bar closes above the most recent confirmed swing high; in a downtrend a bar closes below the most recent confirmed swing low. The trend is extending in its current direction.
- CHoCH (Change of Character) marks the first close against the active trend, through the protected counter-swing. This is the structural signal that the trend may be turning.
- A working market bias is derived directly from this sequence. It reads BULLISH, BEARISH or RANGE and flips only on a confirmed CHoCH, so the bias stays anchored to real structure rather than to noise.
Every BOS and CHoCH is labelled on the candle whose close broke the level, closed-bar and non-repainting by design. The past is not redrawn after the fact.
=== WHAT IS INCLUDED ===
| Module | What it does |
|---|---|
| BOS and CHoCH structure | Closed-bar and non-repainting. Continuation breaks are drawn quietly and changes of character stand out, so a shift in the trend is easy to spot. |
| Dual-fractal structure | A major SWING structure in bold gives the higher-timeframe skeleton, while a faint optional INTERNAL structure from a smaller fractal shows the moves inside it, each with its own BOS/CHoCH and swing labels, on one chart. |
| Strong / weak swing labels | Confirmed swings tagged HH, HL, LH, LL, and graded STRONG or WEAK in the ICT sense. A strong high or low is a protected, defended level; a weak one has had its liquidity taken, so you can read which side is liquidity and which is structure. |
| Premium / discount | The current dealing range with a 50% equilibrium line and a panel meter. Premium (upper half) favours the short side, discount (lower half) favours the long side, so entries align with the structural bias. |
| Supply / demand zones (order blocks) | The origin order block of each break as a translucent zone extending right: supply above a bearish break, demand below a bullish break. Measured by body or full wick, capped per side, and mitigated on the first tap so an untouched zone looks distinct from a used one. |
| Fair value gaps (FVG) | Optional three-candle imbalance boxes that fill forward, marking inefficiencies left by impulsive moves. |
| Higher-timeframe context | The same structure engine runs on a higher timeframe and reports its bias in the panel, so you keep the broader read while you work the entry chart. |
| Status panel and visuals | A clean panel with the live bias, the last structure event (BOS or CHoCH with price and time), the premium/discount meter and the higher-timeframe read, over a premium neon glow layer (soft halos plus a burst on the latest break). |
| Alerts | On a confirmed BOS or CHoCH and on zone taps: pop-up, push and platform email, with one alert per zone. |
=== HOW TO READ IT ===
- Bias first. The panel reads BULLISH, BEARISH or RANGE and only flips on a confirmed CHoCH, so it stays anchored to real structure.
- BOS continues, CHoCH may turn. A Break of Structure extends the trend; a Change of Character is the first close against it.
- Read strong against weak. A strong high or low is defended structure to hold; a weak one is liquidity that can be swept.
- Use premium and discount. Shorts read better in premium, longs in discount, aligned with the bias.
- Order blocks are the origin zones. An untouched zone is still live; once price taps it, it is mitigated.
- Keep the higher-timeframe read in view. The HTF bias in the panel keeps your entry chart in the bigger context.
=== SUGGESTED SETTINGS (starting points) ===
These are starting points to match your style and the market you trade; they are configuration preferences, not performance recommendations. Adjust and test on your own charts.
| If you want... | Try |
|---|---|
| The classic, balanced read | Defaults: swing structure on, swing tags and strong/weak on, premium/discount on, order blocks on, internal structure and FVG off. |
| The moves inside the swing | Turn internal structure on to see the minor BOS/CHoCH within the major skeleton. |
| Swings only, cleaner chart | Keep internal off, lower the max events shown, turn the glow off. |
| Imbalances marked | Turn fair value gaps on, optionally only near a confirmed break, with a minimum-size filter. |
| To keep tapped zones visible | Turn the zone-fade option on so mitigated zones stay as a faint spent frame. |
| Larger, rarer structure | Raise the swing fractal strength so only bigger swings confirm. |
| More detail | Lower the swing and internal fractal strength for finer structure. |
| A different higher-timeframe bias | Set the higher timeframe to H4 or D1 for the panel read. |
