Where it came from

Three answers from Daniel.

The gap

Every pullback raised one question. Is it over, and does the higher trend take over again? Clicking through the timeframes was slow.

The idea

All timeframes in one panel, direction and intensity for each. The snap-back reads in seconds.

What makes it special

It brings its own stop. Trend change signal plus trailing trend line make it almost a trading system for manual traders.

About FX Trend

FX Trend NG reads trend direction across all 21 MT5 timeframes at once and lays them out in a single panel. A trade that looks clean on the M15 often runs against the H4 or the D1, and checking each timeframe by hand is slow and easy to get wrong. FX Trend makes multi-timeframe trend alignment readable in seconds.

Key Features

  • All 21 MT5 timeframes in one panel: the nine standard ones on by default, twelve more (M20, H2, H6, H8 and others) a checkbox away
  • Color-coded trend line: green for an uptrend, red for a downtrend, yellow when the trend is fading or unclear
  • Cross-timeframe projection: draw the trend line of any higher timeframe straight into the chart you are trading. Run an M3 chart with the M20 line on it, or an M5 chart with the H1 line, and keep the bigger structure in front of you while you time the entry
  • Trend intensity percentage: how strong the current reading is, on top of which way it points
  • Click any timeframe in the panel to jump the chart straight to it
  • All-timeframes view and compact view, for different chart layouts and screen sizes
  • Symbols panel for comparing trend alignment across many pairs at once
  • Inline alignment alert: fires when every selected timeframe lines up in the same direction
  • Trend switch alerts when a symbol's trend direction flips
  • Runs on MetaTrader 5 as a self-contained indicator, attach it and it works

How traders use it

Swing traders use FX Trend to filter their watchlist before the session starts. If EURUSD shows green on D1, H4 and H1 but red on H8, the pair is borderline. The trader holds off until the H8 resolves. When D1, H4, H1 and H8 all show green, the pair moves to active monitoring. Doing this by hand, timeframe by timeframe on separate charts, is slow and prone to recency bias. Structured multi-timeframe filtering is exactly what FX Trend is built for.

Intraday traders use the cross-timeframe projection for the opposite direction of travel. They time entries on a fast chart, M3 or M5, while the trend line of the timeframe that actually governs the move, M20, H1 or H4, sits projected on the very same chart. The higher structure stays visible at the moment of the entry, and the projected line doubles as a stop reference along the governing trend. One chart, both horizons.

The symbols panel extends this to portfolio scanning. A trader running eight pairs can pull up the panel and immediately see which pairs have the most timeframe alignment right now. Instead of cycling through charts, the strongest candidates surface in a single view. FX Trend handles the repetitive checking; the trader handles the decision.

Supported markets

All forex pairs, plus metals, indices and crypto: any instrument with clean OHLC data on MT5. All 21 MetaTrader 5 timeframes are supported, the nine standard ones active out of the box and twelve more (M20, H8 and the rest) a checkbox away. MT5 only.

Getting started

Attach FX Trend to a chart of the instrument you want to monitor. Configure your timeframe set and enable trend switch alerts for the timeframes most relevant to your entries. Switch on the cross-timeframe button to project a higher timeframe's trend line into your chart, open the symbols panel to watch several pairs at once, and set the inline alignment alert for the timeframe range you trade.
