Description & Settings
The Expert Advisor tracks the signals of the indicator on three timeframes M1, M5, H1.
ATTENTION: by default it is assumed that the compiled indicator is available in [data folder]MQL5\Indicators\
The values of the indicator from the H1 timeframe determine the type of position (BUY or SELL) to be opened. In addition, two lower timeframes, M1 and M5, are analyzed:
To open a BUY position, the price must break the lower indicator line on M1 and M5.
To open a SELL position, the price must break the upper indicator line on M1 and M5.
