Invertible Charts, 5H Timeframe, and MFE/MAE Analytics in Analyze

Feature Request

I’d like to request a few features that would significantly improve usability and trade analysis:

  1. Invert Chart / Inverted Price Scale

    Please add an option to invert a chart (flip the price scale vertically), so the same instrument can be viewed in an “inverted” manner for analysis and pattern recognition.

  • Ideally as a per-chart toggle (button/menu option), not only a global setting.

  • The inversion should affect the visual chart only (candles/scale), while keeping price values and trade execution logic consistent and correct.

  1. Add a 5H Timeframe

    Please add a 5-hour (5H) timeframe option. This is a common custom timeframe for many workflows and would help align analysis between 4H and 6H/8H style blocks without manual workarounds.

  2. MFE / MAE Analytics (Single Trade + Overall) in Analyze

    Please add MFE (Maximum Favorable Excursion) and MAE (Maximum Adverse Excursion) metrics:

  • Per-trade: visible in the trade details (e.g., when clicking a trade)

  • Overall / Aggregate: included in the Analyze window as summary statistics (average, median, max, distribution if possible)

This would allow much deeper evaluation of trade quality (entry efficiency, stop placement, exit performance) both for individual trades and for the whole dataset.

Thanks for considering these improvements, they would make Forex Tester Online substantially more powerful for systematic review and performance analysis.

How does this impact your experience?
