The Spike Killer is a custom MT4 indicator that identifies and flags abnormal price spikes—those sudden, sharp movements that often reverse just as quickly as they appear. Unlike standard volatility indicators that simply measure price range, this tool examines the relationship between spike magnitude, timeframe, and subsequent price behavior. Here’s what makes it different: the indicator doesn’t just detect spikes. It categorizes them as either “kill signals” (likely to reverse) or “momentum signals” (likely to continue). This classification happens through a proprietary algorithm that compares the current spike’s characteristics against historical patterns within the same trading session. When loaded on…

A non repainting indicator commits to its signals. Once an arrow prints on a closed candle, it stays there—period. The code doesn’t look back and redraw based on future price action. Most repainting indicators use look-ahead functions or recalculate values on current bars. They might show a buy arrow at 1.0850 on EUR/USD, but when the next candle closes at 1.0840, that arrow shifts or disappears entirely. Traders who acted on the original signal find themselves in losing positions based on data that no longer exists in the indicator’s memory. Non repainting versions avoid this trap through strict coding discipline.…
