2MoHLC Channel Averages from High and Low Prices

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document describes 2MoHLC as a chart indicator that plots two channel averages derived from high and low prices over different periods. The two plotted lines are displayed as cloud areas, and the indicator uses separate buffers and lines to render the visual output. This offers a compact description of how the indicator represents price ranges across selected lookback periods.

The text does not specify the averaging formula, the periods, parameter settings, or how traders might use the clouds to generate signals. It also provides no examples, performance evidence, or discussion of limitations such as lag or sensitivity to parameter choice. The note identifies the original author and states that an earlier implementation appeared in MQL4, but those publication details do not establish the indicator’s effectiveness. It is best understood as a brief description of a charting tool rather than a complete trading method.

Key ideas

  • 2MoHLC displays channel averages calculated from high and low prices over different periods.
  • The two lines are rendered as cloud areas using separate indicator buffers and plotted lines.
  • The document does not explain the averaging formula, period choices, or any trading signals.
  • It provides no performance evidence or evaluation of the indicator’s limitations.
