The EXP XOSignal Reopen trading system utilizes signals from a trend-following indicator. A signal is generated upon the closing of a bar if a colored indicator arrow appears. The system then scales the volume of the opened position if the profit points of the last trade within the position exceed a threshold defined in the EA's input parameters.Also recommended: EXP BykovTrend Reopen: Trend-Following System with Scalable Positions - similar expert with strong performance on MetaTrader 5.

To properly compile the Expert Advisor, save the compiled xosignal.ex5 file to the <terminal_data_folder>\mql5\indicators folder.
After compilation, the exp_xosignal_reopen.ex5 expert file incorporates the xosignal.ex5 indicator as a resource. Therefore, the indicator does not need to be present in the terminal folder for the compiled EA to function. This is achieved by including the relevant code within the EA itself to embed the indicator.
The indicator executable file has been added as a resource at the global scope. The string paths to the indicators used as resources have been modified within the oninit() function block. Consequently, the compiled executable file of the expert can be used independently on other trade terminals without requiring separate indicator files.
The default Expert Advisor input parameters were used for the tests presented below. Stop loss and take profit were not utilized during these tests.
