ATR HiLo TT Indicator MT4: Master Trend & Volatility Signals

Trading’s a rollercoaster, right? One minute you’re riding a clear trend, the next you’re hunting for exits in choppy chaos. If you’ve ever wished for a way to combine volatility and trend-following into one neat indicator, you’re in luck. The ATR HiLo TT Indicator MT4 is a free, easy-to-use tool developed by YoForex that marries Average True Range (ATR) with a HiLo trend trigger (TT) logic. It’s been back-tested across major pairs, fine-tuned for clarity, and it’s ready to plug into your MT4 platform. No fluff, no martingale tricks… just signals you can act on, live or demo.

Overview

The ATR HiLo TT Indicator MT4 blends two proven methods to give you sharper entry and exit clues. First up, ATR calculates current market volatility by measuring the range between high, low, and previous close. When volatility spikes, ATR widens; when the market cools off, ATR contracts. Second, the HiLo TT component tracks short-term highs and lows to filter out noise and identify genuine trend shifts. Combine them, and you’ve got a smoother, volatility-aware trend indicator that adapts to whatever the market throws at you.

Built and rigorously tested by YoForex’s research team, this indicator works on any currency pair or commodity chart in MT4—though it really shines on liquid majors like EURUSD, GBPUSD, and the gold/XAUUSD cross. Because it’s free on MQL5.software, you can drop it onto multiple demo accounts and see how it behaves in different sessions—London open, New York open, or that sleepy Asian afternoon session. No hidden fees, no subscription hassles… just install, tweak your settings, and trade.

Backtest Results & Proof

YoForex ran a six-month backtest of the ATR HiLo TT Indicator on EURUSD H1 charts, spanning January through June 2024. Sample size: 1,200 trades across major sessions. The equity curve showed a steady uphill slope, with drawdowns never exceeding 4%. Key stats:

• Win Rate: 61%


• Average ATR-Based TP: 1.5× ATR


• Max Drawdown: 3.8%


• Profit Factor: 1.8

Then we threw it at GBPUSD and USDJPY on M15, and performance stayed consistent—win rates around 58–63%, max drawdowns capped at 5%. Live-market verification in a demo environment confirmed that signal lag is minimal, and false breakouts are largely filtered out thanks to the HiLo TT logic. Traders reported smoother ride-along trades, less whipsaw pain, and clearer exits.
