This document describes a simple volatility display that measures candlestick size and shows the result as a histogram in a separate chart window. A user-set threshold, expressed in points, determines the color: bars above it appear purple, while bars at or…
ADXVMA is described as a moving average whose calculation adapts using a modified version of the Average Directional Index (ADX). The stated aim of this adaptation is to filter market noise and produce smoother values over longer periods than a less adaptive…
The Itrend indicator combines two lines to describe trend direction and strength. Its red line is calculated from Bollinger Bands, while its blue line draws on Alexander Elder’s Bears Power and Bulls Power indicators. The document gives directional…
This document explains the William Blau Stochastic Oscillator and its inputs. The indicator uses a lookback period, three successive smoothing periods, a signal-line period, and a selected applied price. It first measures the current price’s distance above…
This document describes a modification to a standard moving average indicator that adds a selectable applied-price input. The author wanted to test how the indicator relates to bar formation, but found that the standard version did not allow choosing a price…
The document describes an indicator that scans price swings for harmonic chart patterns. These formations use five extrema connected by proportionality and range constraints; the software automates measurement that may be difficult to do consistently by eye.…
This short note describes a Jurik moving average transformed into an oscillator using sigmoid-style normalization. With the stated softmax approach, the output is bounded between zero and one; an alternative hyperbolic normalization produces values from…
This document explains a calendar function for finding a specified occurrence of a weekday within a month, such as the third Monday in January or the last Thursday in December. Its inputs are a year, month, weekday number, and occurrence number. Weekdays are…
The document briefly describes a step-channel indicator whose underlying volatility measure is a 70-period moving average of a 10-period standard deviation. An update note says a hybrid mode was added. It recommends using two step channels and includes…
This note describes an indicator that displays candles from a larger timeframe as filled rectangles on a chart. It uses PPO Cloud values to color the candle body and wicks according to the indicated trend direction: green shades for one direction and purple…
The described expert advisor combines two moving averages with a standard deviation indicator. Its stated sell setup requires the fast moving average to be below the slow one, the preceding candle to be bearish and close below the fast average, and standard…
This MT5 indicator displays the gain or loss for candles whose price change exceeds user-set thresholds. It expresses changes in both points and percentage, making it possible to filter out smaller moves and focus attention on candles with larger changes.…
This indicator combines two RSI calculations using separate configurable periods. It inverts the second RSI around the midpoint of 50 by subtracting its value from 100, then calculates the difference between that inverted series and the first RSI. It also…
This document describes a technical indicator that forms price corridors from a four-hour period and expands them across a sixteen-hour span. It uses configurable inputs for the starting local time, a horizontal shift, and three progressively wider boundary…
This expert-advisor concept uses RSI thresholds to qualify long and short entries. A buy setup requires the RSI on the most recently completed bar to be below 45, followed by confirmation that RSI remains below that level across a configurable run of earlier…
This indicator displays standard RSI information directly on a price chart. It includes overbought and oversold levels, alongside a moving average line used as a reference for placing those levels. An ATR coefficient controls the RSI's relative size in the…
This indicator calculates MACD with NEMA, a configurable family of moving averages whose depth determines the calculation. Depth one corresponds to EMA, while depths two and three correspond to DEMA and TEMA; the document says the series continues to a…
This Expert Advisor uses a ZigZag custom indicator to identify a channel, then places Buy Stop and Sell Stop pending orders near its upper and lower boundaries. The listed controls include the ZigZag depth, deviation, and backstep, along with an entry offset…
This document describes an Expert Advisor that trades signals from the ColorHMA_StDev indicator. It enters when a new color point appears at a bar’s close and exits when the indicator changes direction against the open position. The approach therefore uses…
This indicator calculates the rate of change of a selected stochastic line rather than directly applying ROC to closing prices. Users can choose the stochastic %K or %D line, set its periods, slowing, calculation method, and price field, then select a ROC…
This Expert Advisor uses a fast and a slow line from the LaguerreFilter indicator to generate entries. A signal occurs at bar close when the oscillator crosses its signal line, making the method a two-line crossover approach. The document describes entry…
This Expert Advisor generates signals when the XDerivative oscillator changes direction at a bar close. It translates that change into trade entries; the document does not specify additional filters, exit logic, or position sizing rules. The page cites test…
The document describes a MetaTrader indicator that displays smoothed Heiken Ashi data using a timeframe selected through an input setting. The example setting uses a four-hour chart period, indicating that the indicator can reference a timeframe different…
This MetaTrader indicator uses a custom moving-average formula with a noise filter to plot a dotted line over price. The line’s dot colors indicate the inferred trend: blue for an uptrend and pink for a downtrend. A change from pink to blue is presented as a…
