TrendGuard Pro MT5
Supertrend core · 11 confirmation guards · ATR-calculated SL/TP · 5,000-bar performance simulation · P&L pip labels · Symbol watermark · Draggable stats panel
How It Works
At its core, TrendGuard Pro uses the classic Supertrend algorithm (ATR-based dynamic support/resistance) to detect trend direction and reversals. Each potential signal is then evaluated against a stack of up to 11 independent filters — all of which must agree before a BUY or SELL arrow is drawn. Entry price, Stop Loss, and Take Profit levels are automatically calculated using the Average True Range (ATR). SL/TP zone display is optional and off by default.
Signal Flow
- Supertrend flip — a bearish→bullish or bullish→bearish direction change generates a candidate signal.
- Filter stack evaluation — the candidate is checked against each enabled filter in turn; any single failing filter discards the signal.
- Arrow — if all active filters pass, a BUY ↑ or SELL ↓ arrow is painted. ATR-derived SL/TP rectangle zones are optional (off by default, enable via Show SL/TP levels on chart).
- Alert dispatch — popup, email, and/or push notifications are sent with full trade details.
The 11 Confirmation Guards
| Filter | What It Checks |
|---|---|
| Fast EMA | Fast exponential moving average alignment with signal direction |
| Slow EMA | Slow EMA cross vs Fast EMA — confirms trend stack |
| Three Trend EMAs | 50 / 100 / 200 EMA stacking: price and EMAs must be in order |
| EMA Slope | Minimum slope of Fast EMA over N bars — filters flat/sideways markets |
| RSI | RSI must be above/below configurable threshold; optional OB/OS exclusion |
| ADX | Minimum ADX level confirms trending market; +DI/−DI directional check |
| Volume | Current bar volume must exceed a moving average × multiplier |
| VWAP | Price must be above (buy) / below (sell) the daily VWAP |
| Bollinger Bands | Price in upper/lower half of BB, or breakout outside the band |
| MACD | MACD histogram direction; optional strict divergence detection mode |
| Smart Candle | Minimum body-to-range ratio; candle must close in signal direction |
Every filter is individually enabled or disabled via its own toggle input. You can run from pure Supertrend-only signals up to the full 11-filter stack.
Signal Modes
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Supertrend Only | Signals fire on any Supertrend direction flip — maximum frequency |
| Supertrend + EMA (default) | Adds Fast/Slow EMA alignment — balanced frequency vs quality |
| Full Stack | All enabled filters must confirm — maximum signal quality |
ATR-Based Money Management
Every signal uses the signal bar's close price as the entry reference and automatically computes:
- Stop Loss = Entry ± SL Multiplier × ATR(n)
- Take Profit = Entry ± TP Multiplier × ATR(n) (default R:R ≈ 1:1.33)
Breakeven Stop
Once price moves Breakeven Trigger × ATR in your favour, the stop loss is automatically moved to entry, eliminating downside risk and converting potential losses into breakeven exits.
Trailing Stop
After price exceeds Trailing Distance × ATR from entry, the stop begins following the best price, always staying Trailing Distance × ATR away. This locks in profits progressively and lets winning trades run in trending markets.
SL/TP rectangle zones (red = stop loss, green = take profit) and the entry line are optional overlays, disabled by default. The entry line can be enabled independently via Show Entry level on chart without requiring SL/TP zones.
Built-In Performance Simulation
TrendGuard Pro scans back over the last up to 5,000 bars and simulates every historical signal using the same breakeven + trailing stop logic to determine the exit outcome. Results are shown in an on-chart stats panel that can be dragged to any position with the mouse:
- Win rate (%, highlighted in sky blue)
- Total trades
- Winning trades (green)
- Losing trades (red)
- Average profit per trade (in pips)
- Total profit (highlighted in gold, in pips)
- Active SL/TP ATR multipliers (to confirm loaded parameters)
- Symbol and timeframe
Optional connector lines (OBJ_TREND) link each signal bar to its exit point — green for wins, red for losses — making it easy to review historical performance visually. Each connector also displays a P&L pip label at the exit point (e.g. "+775.6" or "-123.4"), so you can see the result of every trade at a glance.
Visual Elements
- Supertrend line — green when bullish, red when bearish
- Fast EMA line (default: blue)
- Slow EMA line (default: orange)
- Primary Trend EMA line (default: gold, EMA 200)
- BUY ↑ arrows below signal bar (lime)
- SELL ↓ arrows above signal bar (red)
- SL / TP / Entry rectangle zones — optional, off by default (red=SL, green=TP, white=Entry). Entry line can be enabled independently of SL/TP zones.
- Entry-to-exit connector lines with P&L pip labels at exit points
- Symbol/timeframe watermark — red box in the top-right corner showing current symbol and period (e.g. XAUUSD-M5), auto-sized to fit
- Dark stats panel (9 data rows) — draggable with mouse (position and offset configurable)
All visual elements can be shown or hidden independently via input parameters.
Alert System
Three alert channels operate simultaneously:
- Popup alert — on-screen window with full trade details
- Email alert — sent to your MetaTrader-configured email address
- Push notification — real-time mobile push via MetaTrader mobile app
Every alert message includes: direction, symbol, timeframe, entry price, stop loss, and take profit.
Optional "alert on bar open only" mode prevents duplicate alerts on every tick.
