M1 Sniper Arrow Indicator MT5

M1 Sniper Arrow

M1 Sniper Arrow is a non-repaint arrow indicator built for M1 scalping. It does not mark every small move on the chart. It waits for a specific setup and marks only the candles where that setup is complete, so arrows are selective even on the fastest timeframe.

Every arrow is placed only after the signal candle has fully closed. Once an arrow or an EXIT label appears, it stays on that candle and is never moved, redrawn or removed. What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen live.

How the signal is built

An arrow needs three things to agree at the same time.

Trend filter. A trend reading on the working chart must point in the direction of the trade.

Oscillator agreement. Two oscillator readings must confirm the same direction. One of them is taken from a higher timeframe, read only from a bar that has already closed.

Pullback candle inside the trend. Price must make a short pullback against the trend and then close back in the trend direction. For a buy arrow, a bearish candle is followed by a bullish candle whose low dipped into the trend zone. For a sell arrow, the mirror image.

When all three agree, a lime up arrow is placed below the candle for a buy, or a red down arrow above the candle for a sell.

EXIT label

After an arrow, the indicator keeps checking every closed candle. As soon as the trend filter or the oscillators stop agreeing with the trade direction, or an opposite arrow forms, a silver EXIT label is placed on that candle and an alert is sent.

The EXIT label shows where the conditions behind the arrow no longer hold. It gives you a clear, rule-based point to close or review the trade, instead of waiting for a fixed target. The signals are designed around tight stop placement; the natural protective stop for a buy arrow sits below the signal candle low, and for a sell arrow above the signal candle high. Measure the distances yourself in the Strategy Tester on your own symbol and broker.

Designed for M1

As the name says, the logic is designed and tuned for the M1 chart. It also runs on M2. On M3 and higher the indicator will not attach, because the settings are not meant for slower charts.

Arrow and label distances are calculated from market volatility, not from fixed points, so they look right on forex pairs, JPY pairs, gold, indices and crypto alike.

Alerts

An alert is sent once, when a candle closes with a new arrow or an EXIT label. Popup, sound, push notification and email are available. The message shows symbol, timeframe, the event (BUY ARROW, SELL ARROW, EXIT BUY, EXIT SELL) and the candle time.

The indicator exposes readable buffers: buffer 3 arrow signal (+1 buy, -1 sell), buffer 4 exit signal (+1 exit after buy, -1 exit after sell), buffer 5 state (+1 in buy, -1 in sell, 0 flat). Read at shift 1.

Automated version

The same signals are also available as a fully automated Expert Advisor with four trade modes, stop loss, take profit, break even, trailing stop and time filters. The signal logic is built into the EA, so the indicator is not needed to run it.
