XDPO Histogram Strategy

Overview

The XDPO Histogram strategy adapts the original MQL5 expert Exp_XDPO_Histogram. It builds a double smoothed detrended price oscillator (XDPO) from closing prices. The oscillator is obtained by subtracting a moving average from price and smoothing this difference with a second moving average. Histogram dynamics provide signals for opening and closing trades.

Trading Logic

  • When the oscillator turns upward, all short positions are closed. If the current oscillator value exceeds the previous one, a new long position is opened.
  • When the oscillator turns downward, all long positions are closed. If the current oscillator value is below the previous one, a new short position is opened.
  • Calculations are performed only on completed candles.

Parameters

  • FirstMaLength – length of the first moving average applied to the price.
  • SecondMaLength – length of the moving average applied to the difference between price and the first MA.
  • CandleType – candle type used for all computations.

Notes

  • Moving averages are implemented with SimpleMovingAverage indicators.
  • The strategy uses market orders (BuyMarket and SellMarket) and closes opposite positions before opening new ones.
