Belt Hold Trading System for MetaTrader 5
Belt Hold Trading System is a price action indicator for MT5 designed to detect Opening Marubozu-style reversal patterns and display structured trading levels on the chart.
A detailed user guide is available on the author’s MQL5 Blog.
Additional updates are available through the author’s MQL5 Channel.
Depending on the current support policy, buyers may receive additional access to selected companion tools developed by the author.
Overview
Belt Hold Trading System detects single-candle reversal structures in which the candle opens near the extreme of its range and closes strongly in the opposite direction.
This pattern can be used to identify possible reversal conditions when one side of the market takes control early in the session and maintains that control into the close.
All calculations are based on completed bars only.
Detection is non-repainting. Signal values do not change after the bar is closed.
The indicator can draw Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit levels directly on the chart and track signal progress after detection.
Detection Logic
The detection model evaluates each completed candle through several structural conditions.
These conditions can include:
-
Open-side shadow restriction
-
Minimum body ratio
-
Body size relative to ATR
-
Close-side shadow limitation
-
Short-term trend context before the signal
The indicator can classify both bullish and bearish Belt Hold structures, depending on candle direction and recent price behavior.
Signals that do not meet the selected structural requirements are ignored.
Quality Evaluation
Each valid pattern can be evaluated through a multi-factor quality model.
The scoring process can include measurements such as:
-
Open-side shadow ratio
-
Candle body relative to ATR
-
Body ratio
-
Close-side shadow ratio
-
Close relative to the previous candle range
-
Relative body strength
Signals below the selected minimum threshold can be filtered out automatically.
Multiple detection modes are available, including Standard Mode, Strict Mode, and Custom Mode.
Entry and trade planning
For confirmed setups, the indicator can calculate trading levels directly from the detected candle.
For each valid setup, the indicator can display:
-
Entry level
-
Stop Loss level
-
Up to four Take Profit levels
-
Risk and reward zones on the chart
Take Profit levels can be displayed as 0.5R, 1.0R, 1.5R, and 2.0R.
Stop Loss can be calculated using a pattern-based method, ATR-based logic, or Donchian Channel reference.
An optional trailing stop based on Donchian logic is also available for users who want dynamic trade management after entry.
Filters and tools
Optional filters are available to reduce unnecessary signals:
-
Quality Filter
-
Extreme Zone Filter
-
Direction Filter
-
Stoploss Hunt Filter
-
Signal Zone Filter
-
Spacing Filter
-

The built-in scanner can monitor multiple symbols and timeframes from a single chart.
The indicator also includes BOS and CHOCH labels, a signal dashboard, alert options, chart themes, statistics tracking, and output buffers for Expert Advisor integration through iCustom().
Recommended use
Recommended timeframes are H1 and H4 for clearer structure, while lower timeframes can be used with stricter filtering settings.

Loading sufficient chart history is recommended for more stable structure analysis.
