Channel Pattern Hunter is a non-repainting MetaTrader 5 indicator that automatically detects equidistant price channels and confirmed trendline bounce setups, then plots entry signals, stop loss, and two take profit levels directly on your chart.
Two signal engines work together in one indicator. The channel bounce engine identifies parallel price channels anchored on confirmed swing highs and lows, then waits for price to return to the channel boundary with a confirmed rejection candle before marking a signal. The trendline bounce engine draws support and resistance trendlines from swing pivots, applies an ATR-based touch zone, and requires both a rejection bar and a confirming candle close before a signal appears. Both engines are fully non-repainting: all detection runs exclusively on closed bars, and signals are never placed on the current forming candle.
A live performance panel keeps track of every signal on the active chart, showing win rate, net pips, average R:R ratio, and a TP2 / TP1 / SL breakdown separately for channel bounces and trendline bounces, with combined totals below.
Alerts fire once per newly closed bar on any new signal and support pop-up, push notification, and email.
Who is this for
This indicator suits price action traders who already trade channels and trendlines manually and want a structured, rule-based tool to help identify and track those setups more consistently. It works on any symbol and any timeframe in MetaTrader 5.
It is not an automated trading system and does not place orders. All trading decisions remain with the user.
