This expert advisor uses a moving average to generate directional entries. Four consecutive declining moving-average values establish a downward trend condition, with a price rebound above the latest average triggering a sell; four rising values establish an…
This indicator presents the standard Relative Strength Index as a histogram after rounding its readings to configurable increments. The described settings range from no rounding to progressively coarser groupings, including a three-level display at zero, the…
This programming note explains how an object-oriented trading advisor can manage its configurable inputs as a structured set. It contrasts manually declaring fields and writing string conversion methods with a macro-based library that generates parameter…
The method treats signals from an indicator as candidate highs or lows rather than immediate trade entries. It uses zigzag-style logic to connect candidate pivots and checks whether each candidate can form a geometrically plausible leg. A candidate that…
This manual trading script places market or pending orders from a chart. Pending entries can be set at an absolute price or at a point distance from the current price, and can have an optional expiration. Stop loss can likewise be specified by price or…
This indicator displays Bollinger bands with a colored cloud. It has two configurable inputs: the calculation period and the deviation. The document describes the cloud’s color as a visual cue for price crossing a band: blue for an upper-band crossing and…
This document describes a MetaTrader 5 utility for reviewing terminal global variables, which Expert Advisors often use to preserve state such as trade timestamps, balance references, and lock flags. Users can list or export variables, delete filtered…
The document explains the Generalized DEMA (GD) moving average, which combines a price’s exponential moving average with a second exponential smoothing of that average. A volume factor controls the secondary smoothing contribution, while the period and…
This document introduces an extended version of an asymmetric bands oscillator. The stated addition is an estimate of how much weight price has within the current trend, along with an attempt to estimate the effect of that weight on trend formation. It…
XvaMA is described as a moving-average indicator whose averaging algorithm can be changed. The document identifies it as an MQL5 implementation and says it relies on classes from a separate smoothing-algorithms library. It points to prior documentation of…
This note describes a candlestick presentation of the JSatl indicator. Rather than showing the algorithm’s output in its usual form, the indicator processes the relevant price time series through JSatl and displays the resulting values as a sequence of…
This document describes a higher-timeframe version of the KWAN_CCC indicator for MetaTrader 5. A timeframe input lets the user choose the period from which the indicator displays its readings, with a four-hour period shown as the default example. The note…
The document introduces a trading indicator built from crosses between two deviation-scaled moving averages (DSMAs). It attributes the underlying DSMA concept and the paired-cross idea to an article by John Ehlers published in TASC in July 2018. The…
This document describes an Expert Advisor that runs two SilverTrend-based trading systems, one for long positions and one for short positions. Each side has separate settings, including its own identifier, trade sizing mode, and controls for permitting…
This indicator summarizes the direction of a ColorZerolagJCCX oscillator across ten timeframes. It displays a set of colored squares: pink represents a falling oscillator, light blue a rising oscillator, and gray indicates neither direction. Its readings use…
This note describes an indicator based on a formula by Welles Wilder. It combines a fluctuation indicator with a cumulative fluctuation index and presents price movement as a colored histogram. The document identifies the indicator’s origin and says it was…
This brief indicator description explains a signal built from two Commodity Channel Index calculations applied to open and close price series. It generates a semaphore-style marker when the difference between the two CCI values changes sign, matching a…
This strategy combines volatility bands, a long moving average, a short-period RSI, and a trading-hours filter to take both breakout and reversal trades. It calculates bands from an exponentially weighted mean and variance of log prices. Signals use price…
The document describes a trading expert advisor that uses fractals across two timeframes to identify support and resistance, with entries based on the open candle. It lists configurable controls for trade sizing, moving averages, stop loss and take profit,…
The Chande Momentum Oscillator measures momentum by comparing the total gains and losses over a recent period with the total price movement. This variation replaces fixed threshold levels, commonly set at plus and minus fifty, with Discontinued Signal Lines…
This document describes a library for monitoring an Expert Advisor’s memory consumption during strategy tester optimization. Its purpose is to help identify parameter configurations that use unusually large amounts of memory and may cause optimization passes…
BrainTrend2 is presented as a trend-following chart indicator that colors candlesticks according to whether they align with its trend signal: aligned candles appear brighter and opposing candles darker. The description says the indicator can alert users when…
This MetaTrader 5 expert advisor places a buy stop above the previous daily bar’s high and a sell stop below its low, with an optional price offset. It removes its existing pending orders when it begins a new trading day, then submits the new pair if trading…
The document describes a Polarized Fractal Efficiency overlay designed to identify price trends. It plots a main indicator line over price along with upper and lower deviation bands. The indicator combines fast and slow rates of change, a sensitivity…
