One of the most famous phrases in the trading world is “The Trend Is Your Friend”.
Trading following the current trend is one of the most successful ways in terms of probability. The hard part of it is to recognize when the market is trending or not.
We don’t recommend to use it as a triggering indicator because it has lag. Its inner workings are based purely on Price Action/Candle Analysis and it is so easy to use that it has only one parameter setting: the timeframe of the analysis, so you can add several instances of it into your chart to monitor and see what is the trend in higher timeframes!
If you are a discretionary trader or a robot builder, this minion is a must-have in your toolbox. Give it a try and see for yourself.
HOW TO “READ” THIS INDICATOR
- GREEN color: UPTREND.
- RED color: DOWNTREND.
- GRAY color: SIDEWAYS.
- Does this indicator repaint? No, when used in real-time mode, i.e. Live Trading. When the indicator is applied to past bars (i.e., reopening MT5) the bars are repainted to show the last status of each bar based on their last OHLC data, which could be slightly different from the Live market data but really it doesn’t matter so much since our recommendation is to NOT use this indicator as a Trigger and instead, use it as a Confirmation tool.
- Obviously that are thousands of assets around the globe to trade, so if it fits, you can use it as a Trigger indicator if your backtests confirm this ability. Example given: Scalping in intraday trading.
SETTINGS
- Timeframe to analyze
- Size of the indicator window (in pixels)

Why the Price of USD 45.00?
The minimum Price of anything in the marketplace is USD 30.00. When a minion give us a hard time to develop we think that it is fair to charge a little bit more for this effort.
We at Minions Labs believe in very low prices… So, the THING we can DO about it is giving this product for you FOREVER! How? We will give you *1,000 ACTIVATIONS* instead of the traditional 5 activations you find in the MQL5 store. This way, this Minion will be yours as a LIFETIME license! Is that fair enough? We hope it is…
