This brief note describes NRTR_Gator, a chart indicator derived from the NRTR indicator. Its stated addition is a new candlestick coloring scheme intended to make the indicator easier to read visually. The note identifies the author and says the indicator…
The MACD Histogram is defined as the difference between the MACD line and its signal line. Its bars therefore show how far apart those two indicator lines are. The document presents changes in bar length and position relative to the zero line as a way to…
The document discusses replacing MQL4’s iBarShift function in MQL5. It says MQL5 provides lower-level functions for implementing the same operation and reviews four community versions written as alternatives. According to the author, those versions return…
This MetaTrader indicator displays upper and lower candle wick lengths directly on a chart, measured in pips or percentage points. Traders can set thresholds to show longer or shorter wicks, choose separate colors for bullish and bearish candles, and…
The document describes a synthetic RSI-style indicator that substitutes RSX for RSI. It says the RSX calculation produces a smoother signal, avoids adding lag, and removes some false signals compared with the RSI version. The suggested use is to treat a…
This book section surveys advanced MQL5 capabilities for building MetaTrader 5 software. Topics include custom financial symbols, economic calendar events, networking, databases, cryptography, libraries, software packages, and organizing related programs…
The document describes an MQL5 indicator variant that lets the user choose the timeframe from an input parameter. The illustrated default is a four-hour chart period. The central idea is to make the SSL_NRTR indicator available for a timeframe selected…
Fast3 is described as a semaphore-style indicator that places trade signals on a chart as arrows. Its signal calculations are said to follow the approach of a related indicator called Fast2; the stated distinction is the arrow presentation. The document does…
The document describes a way to display the Relative Strength Index on the main price chart rather than in a separate indicator pane. It says this version uses a highest-high and lowest-low channel to map the oscillator onto the chart, allowing RSI and price…
This brief description concerns a trading robot that acts on market sentiment and recommends using it with volatile instruments, giving Brent and Sberbank as examples. Its update describes two conditions for closing a position: trading volume falls below a…
The Balance of Power indicator is presented as an oscillator for gauging relative buying and selling pressure and spotting possible trend reversals. Its calculation compares the close with an earlier open, then scales that difference by the high-low range…
This Expert Advisor uses the Money Flow Index (MFI) as a threshold-crossing signal. It sells when the oscillator crosses downward through an overbought level and buys when it crosses upward through an oversold level. Signals are evaluated at bar close, so…
The document describes a MetaTrader-style utility that closes matching open orders when calculated losses reach a user-set percentage of account balance. A caller supplies a drawdown threshold and a magic number to select orders; using zero is described as…
This document describes a trade-management utility for open positions rather than a signal generator or strategy. It can add missing stop-loss and take-profit levels, move stops to break even as trades become profitable, and apply trailing stops to help…
Internal Strength is an oscillator intended to show where the close sits within the day’s high-low range. In its HLC mode, it calculates the close’s position as a fraction of the range, using the high, low, and close. In its RSI mode, it applies RSI to that…
This indicator guide explains how to build a synthetic spread from two price series and use its deviations to identify possible pair-trading entries. Users choose the instruments, combine their series with an arithmetic operation, and can reverse,…
The document introduces a volatility ratio as a way to distinguish quieter market conditions from more volatile ones. It contrasts this approach with standard deviation, arguing that a ratio with a reference level can make relative volatility states easier…
This document outlines a simple automated trading rule based on comparing the opens and closes of the two most recent completed candles. When no position is open, it enters a buy if the newer candle opens above the older candle but closes below the older…
This brief indicator note describes a higher-timeframe variant of Float_Pivot_Digit. It highlights an input parameter that lets the user select the chart period used by the indicator, with a four-hour period shown as the default. The practical concept is to…
The document describes a price-derived oscillator that displays the difference between price and a Delta measure as a histogram. It specifies no user-adjustable input parameters. The calculation begins with the average of the open, high, low, and close…
This indicator uses an RSI-adaptive exponential moving average ribbon to help assess market conditions. Its author says the underlying adaptive EMA can also be translated into a MACD calculation, while displaying the ribbon components directly may make…
The Percentage Volume Oscillator (PVO) compares a fast and a slow moving average of tick volume to describe changes in volume momentum. The indicator can display its main line, a signal line, and a histogram, with configurable periods and moving-average…
The document introduces Markov chain Monte Carlo as a numerical approach for approximating Bayesian posterior distributions when analytical integration is impractical, especially in models with many parameters. It explains the Metropolis algorithm as a basic…
This document describes a chart utility for viewing groups of long and short symbols together. Users can configure each basket with up to 50 symbols, select a symbol to display on the chart, and review per-symbol and total statistics. These include weekly…
