The document describes an implementation of William Blau’s Ergodic MDI Oscillator, an indicator associated with momentum, direction, and divergence analysis. Its output is presented as a colored histogram, with the signal line represented by a colored cloud.…
This indicator combines the Relative Strength Index with STARC-style channels. A moving average smooths the RSI to form the center line, while upper and lower bands are offset by multiples of an average true range. The band multipliers can differ above and…
This automated strategy places three buy stops and three sell stops when the current close is inside the Bollinger Bands and there are no pending orders. The orders are arranged in steps, with separate take-profit settings for each buy and sell pair. A stop…
This document describes an indicator that combines XPeriodCandle with Bollinger Bands. It highlights candles in a bright color when they move beyond the bands, making those excursions easier to spot on a chart. The stated concept is visual: candle color…
The document describes a double weighted moving average as an indicator that applies the calculation loop for a linear weighted moving average twice. It says this produces smoother values than a standard linear weighted moving average, though it does not…
MACD-2 presents the MACD indicator with two visual elements: a colored cloud and a histogram showing the difference between the MACD line and its signal line. This describes a display format for viewing MACD relationships; it does not specify trading rules…
This document explains an implementation approach for a ZigZag indicator that identifies swing peaks using a channel. The channel width can be set in points or as a percentage. For peak lookup, it replaces repeated bar searches with a binary search over…
This indicator modifies the stochastic oscillator by displaying the difference between its smoothed %K and %D lines as a histogram. The calculation first derives fast %K from the applied price's position within the recent high–low range, then applies a…
The document introduces the Trend Continuation Factor (TCF), an indicator based on an article by M. H. Pee. Its stated purpose is to identify whether a trend is present and determine its direction, helping traders avoid holding positions against the…
This document explains a MetaTrader 5 function for retrieving the highest price recorded for a symbol during a chosen daily time interval. The function accepts start and end hours and minutes, uses the current date to construct the interval’s timestamps,…
This trading system enters when a bar closes after a channel breakout, using signals from an external indicator. It can also close an open position after a preset holding period, with time-based exits enabled by default and the holding limit specified in…
This document describes a MetaTrader 5 expert advisor that monitors the combined profit or loss of open positions and closes them when user-set thresholds are reached. Traders can enable profit-triggered closing, loss-triggered closing, or both, and choose…
WPRslow is described as a semaphore-style signal indicator built from Williams’ Percent Range oscillator. Its stated purpose is to identify slower-moving trends, distinguishing it from an approach aimed only at short-term price fluctuations. The document…
This document describes a smoothed Simple Trend Detector displayed as a histogram. It outlines two coloring modes: one marks breaks beyond overbought or oversold levels, while the other marks changes in the indicator’s direction. The display is centered…
The document describes a utility for saving the historical OHLCV data available on a MetaTrader 5 chart to a CSV file in the platform’s common data directory. It is presented as an alternative when the standard Symbols request tool fails to return all…
This indicator description outlines an enhanced Heikin Ashi tool for chart analysis. It offers five configurable smoothing approaches: simple, exponential, double-smoothed exponential, smoothed, and weighted moving averages. A multi-timeframe option maps…
The document describes a short-term news trading setup for a four-digit forex broker. Before a high-impact release, such as a central bank decision or employment report, the script places both a buy-stop and a sell-stop order. The proposed logic aims to…
The described Expert Advisor applies Bill Williams-style indicators in three stages. It first seeks bullish or bearish divergence as a possible trend reversal signal. It may add to a winning position when the Awesome Oscillator prints a specified sequence of…
This document describes a charting tool that constructs Renko charts using a custom symbol created automatically by an expert advisor. The chart is built from tick history and can include tick volume and real volume when those data are available. Users can…
This note outlines a nonlinear Kalman-style filtering method attributed to John Ehlers. It first smooths price with an exponential moving average or a three-pole filter, calculates the difference between price and that smoothed baseline, and smooths the…
This document describes a moving-average indicator that applies five rounds of exponential moving-average smoothing. It displays the latest indicator value as a price label and lets the user round indicator levels to a chosen number of digits. The digit…
This Expert Advisor generates signals from the Derivative indicator crossing its zero level. It evaluates the signal when a bar closes, triggering on a move through zero in either direction. The description also notes that the advisor depends on a compiled…
This document outlines a simple entry logic combining two moving averages with a recent price range break. A buy signal requires the first moving average to be above the second on the prior bar while the current bid reaches or falls below the lowest low…
The ZigZag Moving Average (ZMA) uses ZigZag reference points to define where its averaging window begins. From a reference point, it calculates the mean of closing prices from that point through the current bar, so the averaging window expands as bars…
