Multi-Timeframe Trend Dashboard
Multi-Timeframe Trend Dashboard is a MetaTrader 5 chart indicator. It reads a simple EMA trend on several timeframes and shows the result in a corner panel. The EMA of the chart timeframe can also be plotted as a line. The indicator does not place, modify or close orders.
What it shows
For each enabled timeframe the panel prints:
The timeframe name (M15, H1, H4, D1, W1, and an optional sixth slot).
The state: UP, DOWN or FLAT.
The distance from the last close to the EMA, in price units of the symbol and in ATR.
How many bars the current state has lasted, up to a scan limit.
A summary line counts how many timeframes are up, down or flat, and marks the picture as “Aligned UP”, “Aligned DOWN” or “Mixed”.
If you attach the indicator on a weekend, the panel uses the last available bar of each timeframe, not a live quote.
How the state is decided
The rule is the same on every timeframe and uses only closed and current bars of that timeframe:
Compute an EMA of the close, with the period given in the inputs (default 50).
Measure the slope of that EMA over a short lookback (default 5 bars).
Measure ATR on the same timeframe (default 14) to judge whether the slope is meaningful.
UP: the close is above the EMA, and the EMA has risen by more than N × ATR (default N = 0.08).
DOWN: the close is below the EMA, and the EMA has fallen by more than N × ATR.
FLAT: any other case, including a close on the opposite side of a sloping EMA, or a slope that is smaller than the threshold.
This is a compact description of the local trend, not a trade signal and not a forecast.
Inputs
