Shadow Zone Detector MT5: Visualize HTF Premium and Discount Trading Zones

This Shadow Zone Detector MT5 review for 2025 presents a focused performance analysis and examines how the indicator behaves across different market regimes. The first impression is a clean visual system that highlights premium and discount wick zones from higher timeframes, enabling traders to see where institutions are likely to have placed liquidity. In this review we compare results on 1M to daily charts and report results and trade examples to quantify edge. What makes Shadow Zone Detector MT5 unique is its HTF shadow-based approach. Instead of drawing static support and resistance, the tool captures the wick ranges of chosen higher candles and projects those zones forward, giving traders clear rectangles to watch. The underlying algorithm calculates wick extremes per timeframe, applies expiry rules, and includes optional confirmation filters to reduce false signals. In practice the indicator produces fewer signals but higher probability setups and best performance in trending or range-structured markets with clear wick rejections. Risk management is built into recommended workflows rather than enforced by the indicator; users must place stop loss beyond wick extremes and size positions according to volatility. Expected performance characteristics include a moderate win rate with favorable risk-to-reward on confirmed entries, lower trade frequency on higher timeframes, and improved consistency when combined with trend filters. Shadow Zone Detector MT5 responds well to clean price action and can be less effective in highly erratic, news-driven sessions, so testers should prioritize backtesting on MT5 demo and live-sim accounts before scaling.
