Daily range – EA MetaTrader 5

Idea by: Scriptor

mq5 code by: barabashkakvn

The EA searches for a daily range. It uses objects OBJ_HLINE and OBJ_VLINE.

A daily range within Sliding window size days (current bar #0 is not involved in calculations) can be calculated as Highest – Lowest or as a mean value by module Close #i – Close #i+1. Calculation mode is set in Daily range. 

The daily range is then used in the calculations of levels Stop Loss and Take Profit:

SL = daily_range * Stop Loss Coefficient

TP = daily_range * Take Profit Coefficient

The daily range is calculated once a day (time Start hour::Start minute) and at the first launch of the EA.

BUY signal:

Price Ask >= Highest of the daily range + daily_range * Offset Coefficient

SELL signal:

Price Bid <= Lowest of the daily range – daily_range * Offset Coefficient

Alternative:  ZigZag Color for Line Chart - indicator MetaTrader 5

Number of positions opened within the current day shall be limited by parameter Max Positions.


Search for a daily range is visualized using two vertical lines (the limit the search range) and two horizontal lines (that show the lines of position opening signals) :
