Installation and Usage

Installation

1. Copy the indicator files into the MetaTrader 5 MQL5 directory:
   • Indicators\MarketStateBoard_MTF_PATCH19_NEWS_DYNAMIC_9TF_FINAL_v1.190.mq5 into MQL5\Indicators\ (the published .ex5 can be used without compiling);
   • MarketStateBoard_Fuzzy.mqh, MarketStateBoard_MDM_PATCH19.mqh and MarketStateBoard_Weights.mqh into MQL5\Include\.
2. If you use the source, open it in MetaEditor and compile. Frozen compile gate: 0 errors, 0 warnings.
3. Attach the compiled indicator to a chart. The board is rendered in a separate window as chart objects with the MSB_ prefix.

Usage notes

• The nine-timeframe universe is fixed (M1…MN1); there are no per-timeframe switches. See Timeframes-and-State-Modes.
• The board caption shows the active state mode (CLOSED or CURRENT).
• Oscillator parameters and fixed thresholds in the source are fixed by the specification and are not user inputs.
