🚀 “The Road to Success” — Follow the Trend, Not the Noise! 🚀
A Smart Trend-Reversal Indicator with Alerts and Multi-Timeframe Support for MetaTrader 4
🔍 Overview
"The Road to Success" is a sophisticated custom indicator for MetaTrader 4 (MT4), developed by R.KH, designed to identify potential trend reversals using high/low buffer levels and configurable alert systems. It combines volatility-based range analysis with smart visual cues and alert functionalities, making it a great tool for both discretionary and systematic traders.
🛠️ How It Works
The indicator monitors market ranges over a defined lookback period and calculates two important dynamic levels:
Sky High Buffer (Sky_BufferH): An upper threshold based on recent highs
Sky Low Buffer (Sky_BufferL): A lower threshold based on recent lows
It then compares the Close price against these thresholds:
If Close Sky_BufferH: Uptrend signal
If Close Sky_BufferL: Downtrend signal
Transition points are marked with arrows (blue for up, red for down)
Additionally, the indicator supports alerts (sound, message, email, push notification) and multi-timeframe interpolation, making signals smoother and more adaptive.

📈 Visual Display
Blue Arrows (↑) = Bullish Trend Detected
Red Arrows (↓) = Bearish Trend Detected
Green Lines = Upper and Lower Sky Buffers (High & Low)
These elements guide the trader to anticipate possible breakouts or trend shifts.
🧠 Trend Logic
The trend direction is tracked with a simple logic:
If Close[i] Sky_BufferH[i], set trend to 1 (up)
If Close[i] Sky_BufferL[i], set trend to -1 (down)
When the trend changes from previous bar to current:
Arrow is drawn
Alert is triggered (if enabled)
You can customize whether arrows appear on every qualifying bar or just on the first bar of a trend change.
📢 Alerts & Notifications
Alerts are triggered when a trend change is detected. You can customize how you want to be notified:
Popup (alertsMessage)
Sound (alertsSound)
Email (alertsEmail)
Push Notification (alertsPushNotif)
Alerts contain full symbol name, timeframe, and timestamp (e.g., “H1 EURUSD at 12:03:45 Lukas up”).
🧭 Multi-Timeframe Support
You can run this indicator on a chart while analyzing a higher or lower timeframe using the TimeFrame input. It uses iCustom() calls internally and supports interpolation of levels between candles, so you still see fluid levels and signals on your chart even from higher TFs.
