Gain/Loss Info MetaTrader Forex indicator — displays the gains and losses for all candles where the given threshold is surpassed. The values are calculated in points and percentages. The forex indicator can calculate gain/loss in two modes: plain chart candlestick Close and Open difference, and the difference between current Close and previous Close. You can set min change limits (for pips and percentage), change modes, and control the output numbers’ font color. The Forex indicator is available for both MT4 and MT5.

Gain/loss Indicator info example
The mt4 chart above shows the example usage of the Gain/Loss Info indicator on GBP/USD @ W1. The percentage limit was set to 1.0%, and the pips limit was set to 1,500. The calculation mode was set to “Close vs. the previous Close.” The points count for the period is displayed below the candles. Percentage change — above candles.
It is nearly impossible to use this forex indicator to generate trading signals. Its primary purpose is to simplify the market situation analysis and make finding some bullish and chart bearish patterns easier. Of course, you can still use the data about abnormally significant changes as some entry or exit forex signals.
