Power Candles MT5 puts market-strength states into candle colors and includes an optimizer comparing momentum and reversal configurations. Its publisher describes recalculation on closed bars and an Apply Best control that changes the active signal setup. The crucial distinction is between a historical optimization score and results from decisions taken forward in time.
The optimizer compares many combinations of thresholds, stops and targets. The best reported combination has been selected using the available history, so its profit factor is not automatically an out-of-sample estimate. Record the configuration when Apply Best is used and observe subsequent signals without retroactively replacing it with a later winner. That separates selection performance from actual forward behavior.
The product supports momentum and reversal interpretations. The author says that after Apply Best, green and red arrows indicate buy and sell direction even when the selected strategy trades against momentum. Candle strength and entry direction therefore need to be read as separate elements. Keep the chosen mode with chart screenshots so a reversed interpretation is not mistaken for a display error.
Entry, stop and target rays show a proposed plan and remain until the specified exit condition is reached. They do not establish that a broker accepted an order at those prices. If the plan is traded manually or through another tool, record delays, spreads and the actual volume. The separate Strategy Scanner and other companion products add workflows but are not required for the core candle calculations according to the description.

MQL5 provides tester-only demonstrations for Market EAs and indicators. Open the original listing to check its demo option. An EA demo runs its trading logic in the Strategy Tester; an indicator demo is viewed in visual testing mode. This is different from receiving a free licence to run the full product on an online chart.
