Metatrader 5 Libraries | Channel Proximity Engine | Source Code Included

RobotFX curates the best open-source MetaTrader code to inspire your trading automation.

This is a library which enables you to generate signals when the market price reaches the channel lines. Some people assume that when the price "comes close" to a channel line, that this is the entry signal, but in reality this is just a guess and not an informed trading decision.

This engine is more sophisticated as it first examines when the price came close (in percentage proximity) to a channel line, and then started to reverse (in percentage amount) from the extreme channel line. It is using a state machine to instruct these rules consistently.

The signal does not predict market direction; it simply alerts you that price has reached a channel boundary. This event serves as a critical inflection point. The price will either respect the boundary which would confirm the channel as a structural support or resistance level...or else it will aggressively break through it.

Protect profits effectively with the smart Trailing Stop Expert Advisor. Advanced trailing options for MT4/MT5. See it in action.

This could be used with any channel. In this case, I use it with the Donchian channel.
