What is RecentHighLowAlert Indicator?
The RecentHighLowAlert indicator for MT4 highlights the most recent high and low within a defined number of candles and notifies traders when price touches either level. It’s a minimal yet effective tool for identifying potential breakout or reversal points.
The indicator draws a horizontal line for the highest high and lowest low over the past N candles, and issues an alert when the current price reaches one of these levels.
