10 Non Repaint Indicator MT4 + MT5

The 10 Non Repaint Indicator is a Donchian channel breakout tool for MT4 and MT5. Also, it plots the highest high and lowest low of the prior 20 bars as two blue channel lines around price, then prints a green BUY or red SELL arrow the moment a candle closes outside that channel. Because the channel is computed from PRIOR bars only, every arrow stays put once the bar closes – that is what non-repaint actually means.

What the 10 Non Repaint Indicator does on the chart

Also, the 10 Non Repaint Indicator plots a classic Donchian channel on the chart. Also, still, the upper line tracks the highest high of the prior 20 bars and the lower line tracks the lowest low. Both lines are computed from PRIOR bars only – they never recalculate on the live tick – so a signal that prints on a closed bar stays where it printed. Thus, that is what non-repaint means.

When the current bar’s high pierces the upper channel a green BUY arrow prints below the bar. Also, still, hence, when the low pierces the lower channel a red SELL arrow prints above. The two blue channel lines act as visible support/resistance you can see at a glance.

Key features and settings

• Plots upper + lower channel lines (highest-high / lowest-low over the chosen lookback)
• Green BUY arrow when current bar breaks the upper channel
• Red SELL arrow when current bar breaks the lower channel
• Lookback period is fully configurable (default 20 bars)
• Arrow offset in points lets you push the markers off the wick
• Full alert system: popup, push notification to mobile MetaTrader, email, and sound — all four channels can be toggled independently from the inputs panel. Alerts fire once per closed bar so you never get spammed mid-tick.
• Built for both MT4 and MT5; works on every timeframe and every symbol your broker offers.
• Lightweight code that does not slow down the chart.

How to read signals from the 10 Non Repaint Indicator

The two blue channel lines wrap recent price action. Next, a breakout arrow fires the moment a candle’s high closes above the upper channel (BUY) or low closes below the lower channel (SELL).

Entry idea (long). Wait for a green BUY arrow on a closed bar. In practice, use the recent swing low as stop reference and target the next horizontal level.

Entry idea (short). Wait for a red SELL arrow on a closed bar. Then, use the recent swing high as stop reference.

Exit idea. Some traders trail with the opposite channel line. Thus, yet, others exit on the first arrow in the opposite direction.

Tuning the 10 Non Repaint Indicator inputs

Also, still, hence, truly, every alert channel — pop-up, sound, email and mobile push — toggles independently in the same inputs panel, and alerts fire once per closed bar.
