Five Bar Trend Dashboard

v10.3
Five Bar Trend Dashboard

This indicator creates a dashboard of dots to show the trend in five time frames.

So for example on a 5 minute time frame it calculates what a 5 minute, 10 minute, 15 minute, 20 minute and 25 minute candle would be and on a daily chart it would calculate what 1 day, 2 day, 3 day, 4 day and 5 day candles would be. It then compares the current price to those candles. It can the compare closing price to the open, median price, typical price, total price and weighted close price. It then draws five dots to show whether the comparison is down or up for each time frame. The upper of the five dots represents the fastest time frame candle comparison (so 5 minutes on a 5 minute chart) and the lowest dot is the slowest comparison (so 25 minutes on a 5 minute chart).

The separate upper row shows a red dot if all the time frame dots below are red and a green dot is all the time frame dots below are green. If they are mixed then an empty blue circle is drawn. If a set of 5 red or 5 green dots is followed by a mixed row of dots then an up arrow or down arrow is shown to highlight a possible market reversal after a strong trend. The number above this arrow highlights how long the previous run of five same colour dots has gone on for. This number can help analyse how strong the run was and can be used for position sizing or just to assist in deciding how likely a reversal is to be.

Change the price that you compare to by changing the ‘customclose’ value in the indicator window. If you select open,close,high or low then the comparison is always open to close. The others are close to typical price or close to median price etc.

By ticking or unticking ‘All’ you can remove the dots representing the five time frames. This allows the indicator to be reduced down in size so as to take up less chart space.

I suggest downloading and importing the ITF file to get full functionality.

    Hello Vonasi Its seem a nice job again thanks

    Dear Vonasi, thanks for a truly great indicator! Forgive me, but I tried to edit your flawless code so I could implement it in Autotrading, but I obviously failed. Anyone care to elaborate what I am doing wrong?

    I tried to use “Add PRT code”, but failed why I paste the code directly.

    soulintact – this is probably not the best place to discuss a strategy version of the indicator. I would suggest starting a topic in the ProOrder forum so that we can all discuss the idea.

  5. soulintact • 08/22/2019 #

    Of course Vonasi. Done! https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/rewriting-an-idicator-to-pro-order/

  6. Alai-n • 08/22/2019 #

    Hello, where can I get a list of possible objects and their formulations to insert in the Dashboard (Square, Circle, Triangle etc …) Thank you

  7. Vonasi • 08/22/2019 #

    I use the Windows10 ‘Character Map’. Type it in your windows search box.

  8. Alai-n • 08/22/2019 #

    @Vonasi Thanks
