Blahtech Market Profile
+ Reproduces genuine Market Profile mechanics (TPO-only mode, volume profile, Value Area) rather than a simplified imitation
+ A completed session profile is a deterministic tally of finished periods, so closed history cannot change on reload
+ Includes a built-in backtest mode so traders can step through historical sessions directly on the chart
+ Rentable monthly for around $25 as an alternative to the roughly $119 outright purchase
- Market Profile has a real learning curve; the indicator plots the data but does not teach the reading framework itself
- MetaTrader tick volume is a proxy for real traded volume, so volume-profile mode on forex is less faithful than the same method on a centralised futures market
- Value is concentrated on session-based instruments; it has little to offer on markets without a clear defined trading session
Waddah Attar Explosion
+ Free to download, with the original version published in the public MQL5 Code Base since 2007
+ Calculation is public, so repaint behaviour can be settled by inspecting the formula rather than trusting a vendor claim
+ Combines two well-understood tools, MACD and Bollinger Bands, into one visual momentum-and-volatility read
+ Fully adjustable sensitivity, dead zone, and trend power inputs for tuning signal frequency
- Being MACD-derived, it inherits the lag of any moving-average-based calculation and will not call a move before it starts
- The dead zone is an absolute pip threshold, so a setting tuned on one instrument behaves completely differently on another
- Widely copied and re-hosted across download sites, so the build you download may differ from the original published code
