What Is the Olympia Indicator?

Olympia Indicator is an Indicator designed for MetaTrader 4 / MetaTrader 5 that automates the signals generated by the Olympia indicator. Instead of waiting in front of charts for a manual alert, the EA reads the indicator values in real time, places orders, and can manage stops and targets on your behalf.

Key points:

• Runs 24/5 on a VPS or local computer.
• Uses the same blend of moving averages, RSI, and stochastic values that forms the base indicator.
• Filters trades according to user-defined trend and pullback rules.
• Can close trades automatically when opposite conditions appear.

What Is the Olympia Indicator?

If you are new to the concept, the Olympia indicator is a custom technical analysis tool that overlays a single colored line on the price chart. Behind the scenes it mixes:

• Moving Averages – show the general trend.
• Relative Strength Index (RSI) – measures momentum.
• Stochastic Oscillator – highlights overbought and oversold conditions.

The result is a smoothed line that tends to sit above price in an up-trend and below price in a down-trend. Because it blends three traditional studies, it attempts to remove noise and give a clear directional bias.

How the EA Builds on the Core Indicator

Key Inputs and Settings

When you load the Olympia Indicator, the Inputs tab may include:

Tip: Always start with the default values on a demo account and tweak slowly.

Olympia Indicator Strategy Explained

The strategy has three simple parts: trend, pullback, confirmation.

1. Identify the trend
   • If the Olympia line plots above price candles, trend = up.
   • If the line plots below price candles, trend = down.
2. Wait for a pullback
   • A pullback is a move in the opposite direction of the trend that often gives better entry prices.
   • Traders typically wait until price touches an internal moving average such as the 20-EMA.
3. Confirm with Olympia line
   • For a long trade, the line should dip into an oversold area (often the lower 20 zone of RSI) and turn upward.
   • For a short trade, the line should spike into an overbought area (upper 80 zone) and roll downward.

Because the indicator repaints, confirmation needs a bar-close rule: only accept the signal after the candle closes.

Buy Signal Checklist

5. At candle close, Olympia line turns green or slopes up.
6. EA opens a buy with:
   • Stop Loss: 1 ATR below recent swing low.
   • Take Profit: 2 × risk or next resistance zone.

Example pair: EUR/USD, timeframe H1.

Sell Signal Checklist

1. Market structure shows lower highs & lower lows on H1 or H4.
2. Olympia line sits below the chart for at least three consecutive candles.
3. Price retraces 30–50 pips upward toward the line.

5. At candle close, Olympia line turns red or slopes down.
6. EA opens a sell with:
   • Stop Loss: 1 ATR above recent swing high.
   • Take Profit: 2 × risk or next support zone.

Risk and Money Management

Even the best Expert Advisor has draw-downs. Follow these points:

• Risk per trade: Keep it at or below 2 % of account equity.
• Max open trades: Limit to 3 to avoid correlation risk.
• Weekly loss cap: Pause this if equity drops by 5 %.
• VPS / Stable internet: Prevent missed exits due to connection drops.
• Diversification: Test on no more than two pairs until consistent.

Back-Testing the Olympia Indicator

Before going live, run a historical test:

1. Open MetaTrader Strategy Tester (Ctrl+R).
2. Select Olympia Indicator and a currency pair.
3. Use Every Tick model for best accuracy.
4. Test at least 2 years of data.
5. Review metrics:
   • Profit Factor > 1.5
   • Max Draw-Down < 20 %
   • Sharpe Ratio > 0.2

If the EA passes, move to a demo account for four weeks. Only then consider a small live allocation.

Common Questions

Is the Olympia Indicator free?Some versions are free; others require a license. Check the developer’s page or the MQL5 market for details.

Does this work on crypto or indices?While built for forex, you can test on other CFD symbols. Adjust stop settings, as volatility differs.

Why did this skip a signal?Possible reasons:

• Spread larger than the EA’s maximum.
• Pullback size did not meet your Pullback_Pips.
• Indicator repainted, invalidating the signal at candle close.

Final Thoughts

The Olympia Indicator offers a hands-off way to trade the blended Olympia indicator rules. Keep your expectations realistic: repainting indicators can give mixed signals, and no algorithm wins 100 % of the time. Combine this with solid risk control, periodic performance reviews, and a clear understanding of trend and pullback logic.
