Create an MT5 indicator (code).

Perfect ✅ — let’s create a non-repainting Three Bands Forex Trading Indicator for MT5.
It will:

• Draw Upper, Middle, and Lower bands
• Generate Buy/Sell signals when price touches or crosses the bands
• Work on all timeframes and all pairs
• Include alerts (visual + sound)
• Use ATR-based smoothing to reduce noise

🧭 How It Works

• Middle Band: Exponential Moving Average (trend baseline)
• Upper/Lower Bands: EMA ± (ATR × Multiplier)
• Buy Signal: Price bounces from lower band
• Sell Signal: Price bounces from upper band
• No repainting because it only uses closed bar data

⚙️ Customization Tips

Parameter	Description	Suggestion
BandPeriod	Smoothing period	14–50
Multiplier	Band width	1.5–2.5
MaMethod	Moving average method	EMA or SMA
PriceType	Applied price	Close
EnableAlerts	Alerts toggle	true / false

Would you like me to add arrows and on-chart “BUY” / “SELL” labels as well (for visual signals)?
I can update the code to include that next.
