Nice to meet you. Thank you for viewing my profile. I am Shinryu, founder of "ShenLong Lab (Shenlong Lab)". I learned programming to become a trader. Before learning how to win in the market, I decided first to acquire the ability to build my own tools for winning. I started by paying 2 million yen for a programming school. Currently, as an active trader who continues to generate monthly profits with my own indicators, I have developed over 1,000 financial indicators and automation tools. What is truly needed to keep winning in the market is not complex logic. It is "visualization that eliminates hesitation" and "thorough efficiency of verification work." ShenLong Lab's indicators are all tools I created to solve things I personally found to be hard to see or time-consuming in trading. They make work easier, reduce stress, and allow you to focus on analysis and trading itself. We have crafted them into tools you can feel the difference of on your daily charts. All parameters are labeled in Japanese, and you can select them with ON/OFF rather than true/false, so even those without specialized knowledge can set them without hesitation. The logic that can be verbalized resides in code. I will continue to develop tools that translate trading intuition and stress into words, reduce manual waste, and maximize the results of thinking and trading. I hope ShenLong Lab's indicators will be helpful in making your trading more comfortable for everyone.

Episode 15: I created SL_TFD to prominently display the current timeframe on both the main and the sub charts

It is the Shenlong of ShenLong Lab (シェンロン ラボ).

For first-time visitors, please allow me to introduce myself briefly.

As a current trader who continues to generate monthly profits with self-made indicators, I have developed over 1,000 indicators and automation tools to date.

ShenLong Lab’s 15th item
“SL_TFD (TimeFrame Display)”
has been released.

This time, I will talk about why I created this item and tips for confirming the current timeframe in MT4/MT5.

What time frame is that chart?

To verify which time frame it is, check using the small text.

After switching the time frame, you may lose track of which time frame you are on.

A trick you can do with standard features
  • Confirm from the chart’s upper-left title (e.g., “EURJPY,M15”)
  • Check which button is pressed on the toolbar’s time-frame buttons

Both are small text or buttons, so you have to lean in when charts are laid out side by side.

Time frames should be shown large on the chart.

I myself trade with 15-minute, 5-minute, and 1-minute charts lined up. SL_TFD was created to eliminate that hassle.

From here on, I will introduce how to use SL_TFD in a video.
