This indicator extends an RSI adaptive EMA by adding floating levels to help decide when the trend state has changed. The added thresholds are intended to reduce false changes caused by frequent shifts in the indicator’s slope during range-bound markets.…
This indicator classifies Average True Range readings relative to lower and upper thresholds. It displays a histogram with one color for ATR values below the lower level, another for values above the upper level, and a third for readings between the…
This document describes an expert advisor that trades using signals from the T3MA-ALARM indicator. It explains that the advisor was rewritten from an earlier MQL4 version and identifies the indicator as its signal source. No entry rules, signal calculations,…
This document describes an automated MetaTrader 5 strategy that uses an EMA envelope to trigger entries when price reaches configured boundaries. If price moves against an open position, the system can add trades at configured grid intervals, increase…
This expert advisor uses an unconventional MACD approach: it calculates the area of the indicator above and below its zero line over a user-selected number of bars. A reverse-signal option determines whether the resulting signal opens a buy or sell position.…
This document describes a trading expert advisor that uses the iVIDyA indicator to generate signals. It checks for a signal only when a new bar begins, then opens a position with specified stop-loss and take-profit levels. It does not use a trailing stop and…
The document explains the USDX as a measure of the U.S. dollar against a six-currency basket: the euro, yen, pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona, and Swiss franc. It describes the index as a weighted geometric calculation and gives the basket…
The Prevailing Trend oscillator represents bullish and bearish market components with separate lines labeled Up and Down. It estimates the Up line as a moving average of bullish candlesticks over a selected period, and the Down line as a moving average of…
The document explains an extended Moving Slope Rate of Change indicator. The basic MSROC estimates price slope from a least-squares line rather than using the direct price change of conventional rate of change. The text says this smoothing reduces false…
The document describes an indicator intended to estimate a slower-changing reference value for the market than the observed price or a moving average. Its direction is linked to the relationship between price and the indicator: it rises when price is above…
VolatilityMA is a moving average intended to help identify trade direction. It calculates an average of a chosen price series while adapting the averaging length to changes in normalized price variability. The description says the lookback resets to its…
The document explains how to measure Expert Advisor runtime in MetaTrader 5 while excluding delays that can distort the tester’s reported duration. It distinguishes total run time, which can include history synchronization and tick preprocessing, from net…
This document describes a MetaTrader indicator that displays how much time remains before the current candle closes. Users can adjust its display color, size, and chart corner, and can optionally show server time. The third version adds an audible alert when…
This short description presents Ultra Trend as a standalone indicator for MetaTrader 5 that can operate across supported chart timeframes. It highlights three special timeframe choices: the second higher timeframe, the third higher timeframe, and an…
This guide explains Bollinger Bands as a volatility measure and a possible source of overbought or oversold signals. It describes a middle line based on a moving average, commonly using 20 periods, with upper and lower bands set two standard deviations away.…
This indicator description presents GRFLeadingEdge as an alternative to Bollinger Bands intended to reduce delays associated with averaging. It says the method resembles a standard-deviation channel built by smoothing a straight line over a fixed number of…
This short description explains an automated method for calculating price levels from the Average True Range (ATR). It sets a maximum level by adding ATR multiplied by a target parameter to the opening price, and a minimum level by subtracting the same…
This brief description concerns a version of Kaufman’s Adaptive Moving Average (AMA), an adaptive smoothing indicator used to follow price trends. It says the implementation modifies the smoothing ratio by raising it to a power, controlled by an external…
The document describes SuperTrend as a price-chart overlay that uses Average True Range (ATR) to adjust a trend line to market volatility. It presents crossings of price and the line as potential buy or sell signals, with changes in line color marking trend…
The Donchian Oscillator described here measures how far the closing price sits beyond a Donchian channel boundary. The channel is formed from the highest high and lowest low across a chosen lookback period. A close above the upper boundary produces a…
The document describes a higher-timeframe signal display for the AFL_WinnerSign indicator. It shows whether the selected bar continues the current trend or marks a change in direction: continuation uses a horizontal arrow, while a changed trend uses a…
This technical note explains how to add alert delivery to a MetaTrader indicator that already stores buy and sell signals in indicator buffers. It describes configurable inputs for selecting the signal bar, enabling sound, setting an alert count, and turning…
This document outlines operational rules for an automated strategy associated with Bollinger Bands, although it does not specify the precise band conditions that trigger a buy or sell. The system evaluates signals on a new bar and allows the number of open…
This indicator combines a Stochastic Oscillator with Bollinger Band width to flag flat market conditions. It treats a narrowing Bollinger range as evidence of a flat state, with the band’s half-width compared against a configurable threshold. During the…
