The Xpoints indicator predicts possible reversal points in the market. An interesting pattern can be observed on the EURUSD chart, where certain bars exhibit specific features before a reversal. These features include a rate significantly greater than 1, calculated as the difference between the high and low divided by the absolute difference between the close and open. Additionally, the lowest point of these bars may touch the bottom of the channel, indicating possible price growth, or the highest point may touch the top of the channel, indicating possible price fall. These bars are referred to as Xpoints. The indicator identifies Xpoints based on the Xrate parameter, which considers the rate, size, and minimum up or down movement.Also recommended: Quantora ADR Calculator MT5 - Professional Average Daily Range Indicator for MetaTrader 5 - similar indicator with strong performance on MetaTrader 5.
The indicator filters out false signals by analyzing the bar that follows the Xpoint for price movement in the predicted direction, as well as the position of bar midpoints relative to the channel center and each other. The indicator has input parameters that allow for customization. It is essential to note that the indicator may produce false signals, so additional filtering using other indicators or treating the signals as warnings against opening positions that contradict the prediction is necessary.
Time filtering of signals has been added, with night signals ignored by default. Testing has revealed that the Ixndent parameter can be used to accurately calculate the opening moment, allowing for the approximation of the opening to the point of a local extremum. For example, open short positions when the price is above the arrow and vice versa.
The Xpoints indicator was first implemented in MQL4 and published on 07.06.2026.
