This indicator displays MACD histogram information calculated on a timeframe selected in its inputs. Its bar colors encode the histogram’s direction relative to the signal line: blue and pink distinguish rising from falling movement when the histogram is…
This indicator combines the Ichimoku Kijun Sen line with an Envelope and three price labels. The document presents envelopes as a way to frame a trading range, identify potentially overbought or oversold prices, and set possible profit-taking or stop levels.…
The document describes an Expert Advisor that trades signals from a Hans indicator cloud system. A signal is generated when a bar closes after breaking through a channel, so the stated entry trigger depends on a completed bar rather than an intrabar move.…
This indicator displays the high and low price levels for a selected day while viewed on any chart timeframe. A day-shift input selects which day’s range to show, and a separate bar-shift input moves the plotted indicator horizontally. When the day shift is…
The document introduces an indicator that displays two fractal Keltner channels as a cloud. This gives traders a combined visual representation of channel-based price structure, potentially useful for inspecting how the two channel boundaries relate over…
This MetaTrader expert advisor places buy limit and sell limit orders when its conditions are checked at the start of a new bar. If one order triggers, it removes the remaining pending orders. The description also says position trailing is checked on every…
This short simulator page demonstrates how a regular expression can locate a function signature in MQL5. It explains that the pattern looks for the text “int,” then matches a non-greedy sequence of characters on the same line, followed by literal…
The indicator reports statistical characteristics of price bars: mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis. These measures summarize a bar series through its average level, dispersion, asymmetry, and tail behavior. The page notes that several instances can be…
This Expert Advisor uses Stochastic Oscillator signals to open trades and includes averaging, a configurable cap on open positions, and optional trailing stops. Its inputs cover trade size, take-profit and stop-loss distances, trailing distance, maximum…
This brief description identifies StochasticDiffSign as a semaphore-style signal indicator built on the StochasticDiff indicator. It also notes that the implementation uses classes from a separate smoothing-algorithm library, which must be available to the…
This expert-advisor description outlines a trading system that acts on several candlestick patterns. It allows separate stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing-stop settings for long and short positions, plus a shared trailing increment. The system is designed…
The document describes a modified fractal indicator that lets users choose the lookback period and the price inputs used to identify highs and lows. This extends the standard built-in version, which uses a fixed period, and may help adapt the calculation to…
The document describes MACD_Xtr, a MACD variant that marks adaptive overbought and oversold zones with colored bands and changes histogram bar colors when MACD enters those zones. Its central design problem is adapting the zone levels without waiting for the…
This forex strategy uses two Bollinger Band envelopes calculated from a 20-period simple moving average: one at two standard deviations and another at three. A long setup begins when the ask price crosses above the upper three-deviation band; a short setup…
The document explains why MetaTrader’s TimeGMT function can give misleading results in the strategy tester: there, it matches simulated trade-server time. It describes a library that estimates the broker’s GMT offset from historical hourly bars and subtracts…
This brief description explains an indicator that plots a price channel and Fibonacci levels using the latest peaks identified by the Zigzag2_R_Color indicator. It is a charting tool for mapping recent swing structure and potential retracement or channel…
Equity Guard is described as an account-level risk tool that tracks losses from a daily reference point and reacts when a configured trigger is reached. The reference can be the account’s balance or equity at the daily reset, and the limit can be expressed…
The indicator reports the current day’s price change as a percentage, measured from the daily candle’s opening price to the current price. It displays the value in the main chart window near the price information, giving traders a quick view of how far price…
This expert advisor uses the Color Schaff Trend Cycle indicator to form trades when its histogram breaks through configured overbought or oversold levels. Signals are taken after the bar closes, so the method waits for confirmation rather than acting on an…
This expert advisor uses the Stochastic oscillator to close existing positions according to one of three rules: %K crossing %D in an extreme zone, %D entering an overbought or oversold zone, or %D leaving one. The rules are directional: for example, an…
The document describes the Camarilla indicator as a way to display daily reversal, support, and resistance levels for currency pairs. Its basic idea is to watch price behavior near pivot and surrounding levels, using them to frame potential reversals and…
The document describes an Expert Advisor built around the T3_TRIX indicator. It can trigger trades when the indicator histogram changes direction, crosses the zero line, or when the signal-line cloud changes color; an input selects the entry mode. The EA…
The document outlines an expert advisor that places grid orders using average true range values. Its inputs include a profit target tied to invested capital, a moving-average period intended to assess trend, a multiplier that scales each new order from the…
This short description outlines an automated strategy built around the Average Directional Index (ADX). It says the expert can trade any supported symbol and uses a fixed position size, stop loss, and take profit. The listed settings let a user choose the…
