What is this
Pinbar Detector is an MT4/MT5 price-action indicator: it scans your chart and flags candles matching the pin bar definition (long-tailed reversal candles), drawing arrows or labels with optional alerts. Supply/demand and S/R reversal traders use it to skip the manual candle-hunting.
How it works
- Identifies pin bars from nose-length and wick-proportion rules
- Draws arrows/labels on the pattern candle; show only the latest or the full history
- Pop-up, e-mail, and push alerts supported, with a time-window filter
Installation (3-step summary)
Full install guide →- 1. Download
Grab the zip via the buttons above
- 2. Unpack & copy
Put .ex4/.ex5 and .mq4/.mq5 into the matching MQL4/MQL5 folders
- 3. Enable
Restart or refresh the Navigator, drag it onto a chart, allow automated trading
Usage notes
- Sources are flat .mq4/.mq5 files — drop into MQL4/Indicators or MQL5/Indicators and compile
- Tune the pattern-ratio inputs per instrument volatility; defaults run conservative
⚠ Risk notes
- A pin bar is a pattern signal, not a win-rate promise — counter-trend pins fail often in strong trends

Download FreeFrequently asked questions
▸ Does it trade automatically?
No, it is a read-only pattern indicator; automating it means writing an EA that reads its buffers.
▸ Does it repaint?
Patterns confirm at candle close and historical marks stay put; a forming candle's pattern can vanish with price.
▸ Are alerts supported?
Yes — pop-up, e-mail, and push alerts, each toggleable in the inputs.
