Signals are generated upon bar close.

The Expert Advisor employs one of two methods for trend determination, based on the input value:

1. Upon the intersection of the signal and main indicator lines, accompanied by a change in the signal cloud color.
2. When the histogram color transitions from neutral gray to pink or lime, indicating the RVI oscillator has entered the overbought or oversold zone.

The Expert Advisor requires the compiled indicator file `stochastic_histogram.ex5`. Please save this file to the `\mql5\indicators` directory.

The `tradealgorithms.mqh` library file enables the use of Expert Advisors with brokers offering non-zero spreads and the option to set stop loss and take profit during position opening.

Default Expert Advisor input parameters were used during the tests shown below. Stop loss and take profit were not utilized during these tests.
