The document describes a version of the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) indicator that lets the user select the timeframe from its input settings. The example setting uses a four-hour chart period. This supports viewing the indicator on a timeframe that may…
This educational note describes organizing a moving average calculation so it can be reused in larger indicator projects. It emphasizes portability: the calculation is placed in a function call from the indicator’s calculation routine, making the component…
The document describes a MetaTrader indicator for tracking the drawdown of automated or semi-automated strategies. A trader can filter positions by magic number, compare live drawdown with a manually entered historical maximum, and choose whether the…
The document describes utility functions for handling floating-point values in MetaTrader 4. Its central lesson is that decimal values produced through different calculations may differ at tiny binary precision levels, making direct equality and boundary…
The document introduces a lightweight order flow indicator that tracks cumulative buy and sell volume, per-bar net delta, and optionally smooths delta with an exponential moving average. A configurable session reset lets traders align the cumulative measure…
This document describes a MetaTrader 5 indicator intended to reproduce the MACD presentation used by TradingView. Its histogram uses four colors to distinguish whether values above zero are rising or falling and whether negative values are moving toward zero…
This document explains an indicator that combines two XMUV moving averages with Momentum calculations using SMA and EMA smoothing. The momentum values are scaled to a range from -100 to +100, and a cloud displays the direction of the trend. Colored points…
The document describes a five-minute chart script that checks several technical indicators before displaying a buy or sell alert. A bullish condition requires price to be above the Bollinger middle band, two exponential moving averages, and Parabolic SAR,…
This article outlines a screening process for narrowing a large cryptocurrency universe to candidates for intraday trading. It uses asset ranking data to examine trading volume as a liquidity proxy, hourly price change as a measure of recent volatility, and…
This document describes an MT4 expert advisor intended to place and close trades automatically using user-supplied Fibonacci-related price levels. Its five inputs are prices for the 50%, 61%, and 100% levels on a five-minute chart, a second target on an…
The indicator described here plots Relative Strength Index values for four user-selected instruments in a shared indicator window. Users can choose the instruments, set a separate display color and style for each, and configure the RSI period and applied…
This brief description presents a semaphore-style signal indicator for traders who use the Didi Index. It says the indicator applies an algorithm based on crossovers of two moving averages to mark signals. The document offers no parameter settings, entry or…
The document describes a Hilbert Oscillator indicator attributed to John Ehlers and presents it as a tool for spotting major market turning points. Its stated signal logic is based on the relationship between a blue and a red line: a crossover is interpreted…
This brief document identifies an indicator that places a linear regression line in an indicator buffer, making the calculated line available as data for a trading platform. It attributes the indicator to an earlier MQL4 implementation and notes that it was…
The document describes an automated XAUUSD strategy on four-hour bars. It enters long when a completed candle breaks above the prior 20-bar high, provided the close is above a 200-period EMA. Position size is calculated from a one-percent balance risk and a…
This short description identifies Slope Direction Line as a trend indicator used by an automated trading system. It lists configurable inputs for calculating its moving averages: a period of 32, a filter size of 2, a linear-weighted averaging method by…
The indicator defines a liquidity void as a bar whose range substantially exceeds its recent average while tick volume falls below its own recent average. Each detected zone begins with a score of 100. Later bars reduce that score in proportion to how much…
This indicator description explains a support and resistance method based on price fractals. Instead of relying on a built-in fixed fractal period, the described version allows the user to select the period used to identify potential support and resistance…
The document outlines a price-straddle order approach using buy-stop and sell-stop orders placed a chosen number of points above and below current price action. The orders are intended to expire after a specified period, making the setup time-limited. It…
The indicator identifies a price pivot point using candlestick wick alignment. Its underlying observation is that when several candles form a pattern in which a single line can pass across all their wicks, price is expected to reverse. The document describes…
ClusterBox presents tick-volume distribution within each candlestick by dividing its price range into clusters of a configurable point height. Since candle heights vary, the number of clusters varies from candle to candle. Labels show the tick count in each…
This document describes the calculation for John Ehlers' Cyclic Component oscillator. It identifies two inputs: a period that sets the calculation interval and an applied price series. The method first derives a high-pass component from price changes and the…
The document describes a compact artificial neural network with one hidden layer, trained using backpropagation, and a chart indicator that visualizes price movement while projecting future closes. The indicator uses recent open prices as inputs, compares…
This brief note introduces a regularized exponential moving average (REMA) attributed to Cris Satchwell. It identifies two user inputs: the period and the price series to apply the calculation to. The stated calculation uses an alpha based on the period and…
