Profit Navigator — from confirmed signals to targets and setup tracking on one chart.
A LONG or SHORT signal appears. What happens next? Which targets have been reached? Where is the active stop? Are the conditions for reentry in place after an exit?
Profit Navigator brings signals, three targets, a dynamic stop and statistics into one clear workflow. You can follow both the signal and the setup’s subsequent development — directly on your MetaTrader 5 chart.
Less manual drawing. Less searching for information. The key reference points are in front of you.
How Profit Navigator Works
Consider a typical sequence:
- A confirmed LONG signal appears. The indicator establishes a modeled entry and three volatility-based targets.
- Price moves higher. Labels mark touches of TP1, TP2 and TP3.
- The stop follows the movement. The protective level can only move upward, while the work area shows the distance between the current price and the stop.
- The stop is touched. The setup is completed and included in the statistics.
- The movement resumes. A reentry signal may appear when the required conditions are met.
SHORT setups follow the same logic in reverse.
You follow a sequence of events rather than a collection of disconnected arrows and lines.
Confirmed Signals with Adjustable Sensitivity
A new signal requires price to close beyond a smoothed boundary with an additional ATR buffer. This provides a specific condition for a change in direction.
You can adapt the indicator’s response to your instrument and timeframe:
- A more measured response — increase the smoothing period or signal buffer.
- A more sensitive response — reduce these values.
- A choice of smoothing methods — select EMA, HMA, JMA or McGinley.
Profit Navigator tracks one active setup at a time.
Three Fixed Targets Without Manual Chart Marking
TP1, TP2 and TP3 are calculated using ATR at entry and remain fixed throughout the setup. The indicator marks each target as it is reached.
This helps you quickly assess how far price has moved after the signal.
The default distances are 1 ATR, 2 ATR and 3.5 ATR. Each multiplier is adjustable. Reaching a target does not end the setup — tracking continues until the modeled stop is touched.
Keep the Active Stop in View
The dynamic stop follows the opposite engine band:
- For LONG, it can only move upward.
- For SHORT, it can only move downward.
Trailing operates from the start of the setup. An optional ATR offset increases the distance between the engine band and the stop.
The highlighted work area on the right shows the distance between the current price and the protective level. Labels identify the SL, setup direction and current price change, helping you assess the situation without additional drawings.
Reentry Requires Fresh Confirmation
After a stop, price sometimes continues in the original direction. Enable Reentry After SL allows Profit Navigator to track this situation using defined conditions.
A reentry signal requires the trend direction to remain valid, the waiting period to pass and a confirmed close beyond the extreme established since the exit, plus an additional ATR buffer.
You can disable this feature if reentries do not fit your approach.
A Dashboard for the Current Setup and Its History
The panel displays:
- TREND — the engine’s direction.
- Status — an active LONG, SHORT or WAIT state.
- Signal Buffer — the selected confirmation buffer.
- Profit % — current price change from entry, measured in the active setup’s direction.
- To Stop — the distance between the current price and the stop, expressed as a percentage.
- TP1, TP2 and TP3 — target-touch rates within a sample of completed signals.
You can assess your chosen settings on a specific chart using the history of completed setups. The default sample contains 50 signals; the active setup is excluded.
Target-touch rates are not winning-trade percentages or account returns.
Why Choose Profit Navigator
The indicator’s main value is a consistent process from a confirmed signal to setup completion.
Signals, targets, the stop, reentries and statistics are connected. You do not need to manually combine readings from several separate tools to understand the setup’s state.
The display remains customizable: keep the complete layout or show only the signals, lines and panel you need.

How the Indicator Operates
Profit Navigator is an analytical indicator. It calculates and displays setups but does not place trading orders.
An updated stop takes effect from the next candle. Setup completion and statistics are recorded after candle close. Under the model’s rules, target touches on the stop candle are also counted.
Profit % measures price movement. Target statistics do not include commissions, position size or partial closures. Readings depend on the settings, price data and available history. Use standard candlestick charts.
