This MetaTrader expert advisor trades using two moving averages and lets the user choose between fixed-lot sizing and sizing based on a percentage of free margin. Stop loss, take profit, and trailing stop features can each be enabled or disabled. A…
The Beginner custom indicator marks selected local highs and lows on a chart with colored points. It calculates maxima and minima over a specified period, compares them with the currency pair's trading range, and marks a peak or trough when it is considered…
The indicator applies a Stochastic calculation to the Commodity Channel Index (CCI). The stated rationale is that CCI does not have fixed upper and lower limits, making its level harder to interpret against standardized thresholds. Applying Stochastic to CCI…
The document briefly introduces a version of a double-smoothed exponential moving average indicator that adds floating levels. It says users can choose how the indicator colors are determined: by crossings of the outer levels, by crossings of the middle…
The Know Sure Thing (KST) is presented as a momentum oscillator combining four rate-of-change series measured over different periods. Each series is smoothed with a simple moving average, then weighted and combined; a further moving average forms the signal…
This document explains an Expert Advisor that builds a channel around a moving average and opens a buy when price reaches the lower boundary or a sell at the upper boundary. A qualifying bar must touch the boundary after the preceding bar remained on the…
The document describes an update to a MetaTrader 5 Bollinger Bands indicator that alerts users when price moves beyond either outer band. It can play a WAV sound while price remains outside the bands, optionally send an email alert, and display arrows when…
This document describes an indicator that displays the output of the XKRI algorithm as a sequence of candlesticks. Rather than presenting the processed price time series in another form, the indicator maps it into candle-style bars that may provide a…
This document describes a recursive moving average attributed to Mark Jurik, with two user-adjustable inputs: the calculation period and the applied price. It gives a sequence of equations in which the current smoothed value depends on a prior smoothed value…
This document describes an implementation of John Welles Wilder Jr.’s Average True Range (ATR), a technical indicator for measuring price movement. It distinguishes this version from a common platform implementation by using Wilder’s smoothed moving average…
This document describes a keyboard-driven tool for sending, modifying, and closing or deleting trading orders. Its examples focus on forex orders and show that a command can specify a side, volume, price, stop loss, and take profit. A final execution key…
The document describes an indicator that applies the Relative Strength Index calculation to a price time series and displays the resulting values as candlesticks. Its purpose is to show RSI movement in a candle format, which the author suggests may make some…
The document describes TTM Trend as a visual charting method based on Heikin-Ashi candles. It aims to smooth irregularities in ordinary candlesticks so traders can more easily distinguish trends from consolidations. The explanation focuses on changing bar…
The document explains a volume accumulation oscillator that summarizes where trading volume occurs within each candle’s high-low range. For each bar, it weights volume by the close’s position relative to the high and low, producing a signed contribution:…
This semi-automatic trading assistant lets a user place grids of buy-stop, sell-stop, buy-limit, or sell-limit orders, then close positions by side or all at once. Users set the order count and spacing for each grid type, as well as the initial lot size and…
This educational MQL4 expert advisor uses a moving-average crossover as an example entry signal and demonstrates how orders can be managed across currency pairs. Each order receives a distinct magic number, allowing the program to identify and manage its…
This note proposes calculating the Relative Strength Index from a filtered price series instead of raw prices. It suggests that smoothing can suppress some short-lived price fluctuations before they affect the RSI, while an adaptive lookback average can make…
The document describes a simple chart indicator that plots the highest and lowest price levels for a selected symbol. Traders can use these lines as visual reference points for potential support and resistance, then consider them when planning entries,…
The Random Walk Index is presented as a technical indicator for judging whether observed price movement is consistent with random variation or more suggestive of a statistically significant trend. The description frames it as a way to distinguish…
The ZZ Color Retracement indicator extends a basic ZigZag approach by classifying detected price swings according to their length. It compares the latest ZigZag move with an average of prior moves: sufficiently longer swings are marked as impulses,…
This document describes an RSI indicator that allows the user to choose among four types of smoothing averages for its calculation. It contrasts this flexibility with conventional RSI smoothing and notes that the indicator can use two additional moving…
This brief indicator note describes a higher timeframe variant of a Bear and Bull Power candle indicator. It exposes the chart period as an input parameter, with a four-hour period shown as the default, allowing the user to select the timeframe used by the…
The document introduces Stochastic Momentum as an indicator combining momentum and the stochastic concept. It distinguishes an unsmoothed Stochastic Momentum version from an Average Stochastic Momentum version, which applies smoothing. The description lists…
This document describes a MetaTrader 5 version of the FX Sniper Ergodic CCI indicator that lets the user choose the indicator's calculation timeframe through an input parameter. The example default is a four-hour period. In practical terms, the setting…
