The Turtle Trading Rules Indicator for MetaTrader 5 brings the legendary Turtle Trading strategy of the 1980s directly to your charts. Designed to automate breakout detection, this indicator removes the need to manually draw entry and exit levels, allowing traders to focus on trend-following opportunities with precision.
Ideal for medium to higher timeframes, it works well on pairs like GBP/AUD or other trending markets, particularly on H4 and Daily charts.
How the Turtle Trading Rules Indicator Works
The indicator follows classic breakout logic:
- Buy signals: Generated when price breaks above the highest high of the defined entry period, indicating bullish momentum.
- Sell signals: Triggered when price breaks below the lowest low of the entry period, signaling bearish momentum.
- Exit signals: Based on a shorter period to capture profits before potential reversals. For example, a long trade closes if price falls below the exit channel, and short trades close if price rises above it.
By automating these breakout rules, the indicator allows traders to follow a mechanical, rule-based system without second-guessing.
