Introducing the PTB.mq5 Indicator


  • Overview:
The PTB.mq5 indicator is a powerful tool for traders using the MetaTrader 5 platform. This nifty indicator calculates and displays both short-term and long-term high and low levels, along with key Fibonacci retracement levels derived from these extremes.

  • Features:
- Short-Term High and Low: This feature computes the highest and lowest prices over a user-defined short length, helping you pinpoint immediate support and resistance levels.
- Long-Term High and Low: This functionality calculates the highest and lowest prices over a longer timeframe, giving you insights into broader market trends.
- Fibonacci Levels: The indicator also plots essential Fibonacci retracement levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6%) based on the long-term high and low. These levels are widely cherished by traders for identifying potential reversal points in the market.

  • Input Parameters:
- shortLength: Specify the number of candles to consider for calculating short-term high and low.
- longLength: Define the number of candles to consider for calculating long-term high and low.

  • Visual Representation:
- The indicator employs distinct colors and widths for the plotted lines:
  - Short High: Red (width: 3)
  - Short Low: Blue (width: 3)
  - Long High: Green (width: 3)
  - Long Low: Orange (width: 3)

  • Calculation Logic:

- It then calculates the Fibonacci levels based on the difference between the long-term high and low.
