This short description introduces Whistler's Active Volatility Energy Price Mass indicator, attributed to Mark Whistler's book on volatility. It lists twelve configurable inputs: periods, shifts, and deviations for fast and slow bands; a calculation period…
CMx is described as a technical indicator that combines two moving averages with the Commodity Channel Index, Average Directional Index, and Fibonacci levels. The text credits Alexandr as the author and says the indicator was originally written in MQL4 and…
The document introduces Ian Copsey’s Relative Spread Strength indicator, described as having appeared in Stocks & Commodities in October 2006. It lists seven configurable inputs: fast and slow exponential moving-average periods, an RSI period, a smoothing…
This short note describes a price-smoothing construction attributed to John Ehlers. First, it computes an exponential moving average of price, with a three-pole filter offered as an alternative. It then measures the difference between price and that smoothed…
This document introduces a modified form of the Random Walk Index, referring to the older name “Drunkard’s walk.” It says the calculation is changed while retaining the original concept, with the aim of making the indicator easier for traders to use. The…
This document describes an Expert Advisor that places a grid of pending Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders around the current market price. Users can enable either order type, set the maximum number of pending orders of each type, and choose the distance from the…
This system uses two CG Oscillators for different jobs. A slower oscillator sets the prevailing trend direction from the relationship between its main and signal lines, while a faster oscillator supplies entry timing when its lines cross or touch. A trade…
This document introduces a simple moving-average indicator that calculates an average price for a selected instrument over either an hourly or daily period. Comparing current price with the daily average can help show whether price is trading above or below…
This short note describes a planned next revision of an Awesome Oscillator trading system. The author says the new version will add stop-loss and take-profit levels calculated from Average True Range (ATR). The prior version is described as already including…
This indicator example smooths the Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) time series by filtering higher-order harmonics in its spectrum. The document presents the method as a way to smooth other indicator outputs as well, with the stated advantage of practically…
This MQL5 library provides reusable classes for managing stop losses on open positions. A simple trailing method maintains a fixed offset from price, while indicator-based methods can follow levels from Parabolic SAR, adaptive and exponential moving…
This Expert Advisor trades breaks of a selected prior candle, with the candle timeframe configurable from minute charts through monthly charts. It checks the previous completed bar and allows an offset from its high or low, moving average filters, stop loss,…
This indicator draws bars or candlesticks for a user-selected interval measured in seconds. Its settings include the interval and the number of days to calculate; requesting more historical days can make calculation take longer. The author says the resulting…
Renko charts represent price movement with fixed-size bricks and do not use elapsed time to determine when a new brick appears. This indicator adapts that display for a regular live chart, avoiding the separate offline-chart conversion typically used to…
The document explains how the Supertrend indicator displays trend direction on a price chart. Its line appears green below price during an uptrend and red above price during a downtrend. A basic method buys when the line is green and sells when it turns red.…
The document introduces a stochastic oscillator displayed directly on a price chart. With its default inputs, it is said to calculate in the same way as a standard stochastic based on high and low prices. Its distinguishing feature is the option to use…
This document describes a demonstration MQL5 interface for manual and automated trading across EUR/USD, USD/JPY, and GBP/USD. Each currency pair has a panel block that displays an estimated movement probability as a scale and percentage, accepts a lot size,…
This indicator description outlines a channel built around an average price line, with upper and lower bands calculated using high and low historical volatility. It distinguishes this construction from bands based on a single, regular historical-volatility…
This document presents xoshiro256**, a fast pseudorandom number generator with a 256-bit internal state, as an option for trading software that needs repeated random draws. It outlines an interface for integer and floating-point values, booleans, normally…
The document describes an indicator that estimates historical support and resistance levels from repeated prices and candle behavior. It proposes two bullish-candle rules around candidate levels: a minimum difference between close and low, with an additional…
This trading robot is described as entering trades when it detects an engulfing candlestick pattern. It offers trailing stops and take profits, and the listing says it can be used across timeframes on major forex pairs and NASDAQ stocks. The configurable…
This document describes an Expert Advisor that trades signals from the Fisher_org_v1 oscillator. A signal is considered when a bar closes with the oscillator’s main and signal lines crossing while the indicator cloud also changes color. The strategy…
The document describes a Fan WRSI indicator: a separate-window oscillator based on multiple RSI calculations, accompanied by a smoothed average line. Its values are scaled to oscillate between positive and negative one. The fan is built by varying RSI…
The document describes a code-level optimization for an MQL5 Expert Advisor that runs on every tick. Its main idea is to retrieve indicator and time-series data only when a new bar appears, while retaining variables between calls using static storage. This…
