Above the Stomach Trading System for MetaTrader 5
Above the Stomach Trading System is a price action indicator for MT5 designed to detect 2-bar reversal patterns where the second candle confirms a momentum shift through midpoint penetration and close strength.
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
Above the Stomach Trading System detects two-candle reversal structures where the signal candle opens within the upper or lower half of the prior candle body and closes beyond the prior open.
This pattern can be used to identify a clear change in directional pressure without requiring an additional confirmation candle.
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 two-bar pattern through several structural conditions.
These conditions can include:
Setup candle direction and body structure
Signal candle opening relative to the setup body midpoint
Close confirmation beyond the setup candle open
Minimum body-to-range requirements
Minimum range relative to ATR
The indicator can detect both Above the Stomach and Below the Stomach structures.
Patterns 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:
Setup candle body ratio
Signal candle body ratio
Midpoint penetration depth
Close penetration strength
Range size relative to ATR
Signals below the selected minimum threshold can be filtered out automatically.
Entry and trade planning
For confirmed setups, the indicator can project entry levels at the signal candle high for buy setups or low for sell setups.
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
Stop Loss can be calculated using pattern-based placement, Donchian Channel logic, or ATR-based logic.
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.
These include Direction Filter, Extreme Zone Filter, Stop Hunt Filter, Signal Zone Filter, and Opposite Signal Filter.
The built-in scanner can monitor up to 150 symbols across 8 timeframes from a single chart.
The indicator also includes BOS and CHOCH labels, a signal dashboard, alert options, chart themes, and output buffers for Expert Advisor integration.
Recommended use
Recommended timeframes are H4 and D1, while H1 and H4 can also be suitable on active markets.
The indicator can be applied to Forex pairs, XAUUSD, indices, crypto pairs, and stocks, depending on broker data quality and symbol characteristics.
Loading sufficient chart history is recommended for more stable structure analysis.
