Gold Stuff
+ Cheap for a paid MQL5 Market indicator: 30 USD on MT4 and 50 USD on MT5, both one-off
+ A free demo of each build runs in the MT4 and MT5 strategy tester, so the behaviour can be checked before paying
+ Almost nothing to configure, which removes the temptation to tune settings until the history looks good
+ Long public feedback trail on the marketplace: roughly 600 reviews and 1,200 comments across the two builds
- The calculation is closed, so the no-redraw claim cannot be settled by reading it and has to be tested on your own charts
- No period, sensitivity or threshold inputs at all, so it cannot be adapted to an instrument it was not tuned for
- Both builds last shipped a version in March 2023, so the listing is stable rather than actively developed
TPSpro Trend Pro
+ Signal is evaluated at candle close, and close-evaluated trend logic is causal, so a printed signal cannot be rewritten by later bars
+ Built-in stop loss and take profit zone markers ship alongside the trend signal, not just a directional arrow
+ Multi-timeframe trend scanner shows higher-timeframe bias without switching charts
+ Developed and maintained by a single MQL5 author with over a decade of active listings on the marketplace
- At roughly $135, it costs meaningfully more than most single-purpose trend indicators on MQL5 Market
- Closed-source compiled indicator, so the underlying trend logic can't be inspected or adjusted
- Scanner columns for higher timeframes are provisional until those candles close, and can flip mid-formation
