KagiChart for MetaTrader 5
Introduction
KagiChart is a time-independent charting indicator designed for MetaTrader 5.
It renders Kagi lines directly on the chart window, focusing on price movement and reversal structure rather than time-based candles.
What is a Kagi Chart
Kagi is a charting method that represents price movement without using fixed time intervals.
Instead of plotting candles at regular time steps, the chart changes direction only when price reverses by a defined amount.
The chart consists of continuous lines that reflect market structure:
- Yang lines represent upward movement after price exceeds a previous high
- Yin lines represent downward movement after price falls below a previous low
This approach helps visualize trend structure and price movement without time-based noise.
Indicator Logic
The indicator builds Kagi lines using reversal thresholds.
A new segment is created only when price moves beyond the defined reversal level.
- Upward movement continues until a downward reversal condition is met
- Downward movement continues until an upward reversal condition is met
- Trend state changes when previous structural levels are broken
Rendering Features
- Vertical segments connected by horizontal lines
- Even column spacing based on bar index
