Golden Wolf GameChanger — User Guide
Indicator version: 1.07
Platform: MetaTrader 5

1. Purpose of the indicator

Golden Wolf GameChanger is a signal indicator for MetaTrader 5 designed to help identify trend direction and potential BUY or SELL entry points.

The indicator uses ATR-based trend logic and additionally filters signals with RSI, ADX, MA and EMA. It displays a trend line, entry arrows, MA/EMA lines, a chart dashboard and filter badges.

Important: this indicator is not an Expert Advisor and does not open trades automatically. The trader is responsible for entry decisions, position size, stop loss, take profit and risk management.

2) Click File -> Open Data Folder.
3) Go to MQL5 -> Indicators.
4) Copy Golden_Wolf_GameChanger.mq5 or Golden_Wolf_GameChanger.ex5 into this folder.
5) If you use the .mq5 source file, open MetaEditor and compile it.
6) Restart MetaTrader 5 or refresh the indicator list in the Navigator window.
7) Find Golden Wolf GameChanger in the indicator list and attach it to a chart.

3. Main chart elements

Trend Line
The main trend line of the indicator. By default, gold color indicates a bullish trend and tomato/red color indicates a bearish trend.

Buy Signal
A green BUY arrow appears below the candle when the trend changes upward and all enabled filters confirm the signal.

Sell Signal
A red SELL arrow appears above the candle when the trend changes downward and all enabled filters confirm the signal.

MA Filter
The Moving Average filter line. By default, it uses period 50 and the SMA method.

EMA Filter
The EMA filter line. By default, it uses period 200.

Dashboard
An information panel on the chart. It shows the symbol, timeframe, current signal status and filter status.

Filter Badges
Text labels for RSI, ADX, MA and EMA near the current signal candle. They show whether each filter passed or blocked the signal.

4. How to read signals

BUY
A BUY signal means that the indicator detected an upward trend change. A buy trade should be considered only if the signal is confirmed by the enabled filters.

SELL
A SELL signal means that the indicator detected a downward trend change. A sell trade should be considered only if the signal is confirmed by the enabled filters.

BUY BLOCKED / SELL BLOCKED / BLOCK
This status means that a trend reversal was detected, but one or more enabled filters did not confirm the entry. These signals are usually better to ignore.

BUY TREND / SELL TREND
This status shows the current trend direction. It does not necessarily mean a new entry. A new entry appears only when the trend changes and a signal arrow is printed.

WAIT
The indicator does not detect a new confirmed signal on the selected signal candle.

5. Filter logic

RSI Filter
For BUY, RSI must be equal to or higher than RSIBuyLevel. Default: 50.0.
For SELL, RSI must be equal to or lower than RSISellLevel. Default: 50.0.

ADX Filter
ADX must be equal to or higher than ADXMinLevel. Default: 20.0.
For BUY, +DI must be higher than or equal to -DI.
For SELL, -DI must be higher than or equal to +DI.

MA Filter
For BUY, the close price must be above or equal to MA.
For SELL, the close price must be below or equal to MA.

EMA Filter
For BUY, the close price must be above or equal to EMA.
For SELL, the close price must be below or equal to EMA.

If a filter is disabled, it is not used in signal confirmation.

6. Recommended workflow

1) Attach the indicator to the selected chart.
2) Start with the default settings.
3) Wait for the candle to close and for a BUY or SELL arrow to appear.
4) Check the Dashboard and filter badges.
5) Consider an entry only if the signal is not blocked.
6) Use your own stop loss, take profit and risk management rules.
7) Do not enter a trade only because an arrow appears if the broader market context contradicts your trading plan.

8. Notification setup

For push notifications:
1) In MetaTrader 5, open Tools -> Options -> Notifications.
2) Enable Push Notifications.
3) Enter the MetaQuotes ID from your mobile MetaTrader app.
4) In the indicator settings, enable EnablePushNotifications.

For email notifications:
1) Open Tools -> Options -> Email.
2) Configure SMTP server, login, password, sender and recipient.
3) Send a test email.
4) In the indicator settings, enable EnableEmailNotifications.

9. Practical recommendations

Use SignalShift = 1 to work with closed candles. This reduces the risk of reacting to signals on an unfinished candle.

Do not disable all filters without testing. Without filters, the indicator may produce more signals, but entry quality may decrease.

For stricter filtering, you can increase ADXMinLevel or use longer MA/EMA periods.

For more frequent signals, you can reduce ATRMultiplier, but this may increase the number of false entries.

Before using the indicator on a real account, test it on historical data and on a demo account.

10. Risk warning

Trading financial markets involves high risk. Golden Wolf GameChanger does not guarantee profit and cannot eliminate losses. Use risk management, avoid excessive position size and make trading decisions independently.
