This brief entry describes a MetaTrader 5 indicator called ATR 3XMA HTF, with an input that lets the user select the chart period used by the indicator. The example default is a four-hour period. The page also notes that the indicator depends on a separate…
This strategy trades CHF/USD once a week, on Monday, using the opening price of the 9:00 Belarus-time hourly candle and the previous hour's typical price, calculated from its high, low, and close. It buys when the new candle opens above that reference and…
Aroon is presented as a trend-strength indicator developed by Tushar Chande in 1995. It uses two lines: Aroon Up tracks the timing of the highest price within a selected period, while Aroon Down tracks the timing of the lowest price. Each line expresses that…
This indicator presents the Chande Momentum Oscillator as a sequence of candlesticks. It applies the oscillator algorithm to a relevant price time series and renders the processed values in candle form, offering a different visual format for examining…
This indicator combines five-candle fractal detection with a Commodity Channel Index filter. It displays a signal only when CCI meets a configurable threshold on the candle associated with the fractal, aiming to screen out some signals during sideways…
The document introduces a basic MetaTrader 5 version of a trend direction and force indicator, adapted from an older MetaStock indicator. It says the tool aims to show both which way a trend is moving and how intense it is. The suggested signal is the first…
This Expert Advisor uses a price-extreme channel to generate trades. By default, a close above the upper channel boundary opens a long position, while a close below the lower boundary opens a short position. It checks signals on each new bar, closes opposing…
This document describes an automated trading system that uses a Trend Intensity Index oscillator. A signal is generated at the close of a bar when the indicator moves into an overbought or oversold zone, shown by a change in its color. The system is…
The document describes a third-generation moving average indicator for MetaTrader 4 and identifies the applied-price setting, which defaults to typical price. It compares the indicator visually with a conventional exponential moving average, claiming that…
The document describes an expert advisor that uses Bollinger Bands and RSI thresholds to generate trades. Its listed settings include an eight-period RSI, a high threshold of 90 for selling near the upper band, and a low threshold of 10 for buying near the…
The indicator identifies flag and pennant formations, which are commonly interpreted as pauses after a strong price move before the earlier trend resumes. It uses linear regression to detect the trend and a channel to identify the intervening consolidation.…
This Expert Advisor uses the Parabolic SAR to determine a candidate trade direction, but only when ADX is below a chosen threshold. It then adjusts direction according to the previous trade: after a winning trade, it may enter in that trade’s direction;…
This note proposes a simple ratio as a way to track changes in market volatility. It describes comparing a sum of price differences with an average based on summed price differences. The formula is stated informally, without defining the sampling window, the…
This note describes a weighted moving average whose price weights follow a parabolic curve. A power parameter controls the weighting pattern, extending the basic idea of a linear weighted moving average. The document explains two special settings: power zero…
This indicator adds a trend-strength display to a smoothed Derivative indicator. It measures the indicator’s standard deviation and marks the moving average with colored dots that reflect the current trend direction. Two thresholds divide the display into…
The document describes an Expert Advisor that trades a trend signal from the AML moving average. A trade signal is generated at the close of a bar when the indicator changes direction while retaining its color. The example applies the method to XAUUSD on a…
The document describes an automated strategy built around a head and shoulders pattern. It defines confirmation as a decline from the third peak below the lowest intervening valley. The EA draws trend lines using fractals and combines the pattern with two…
This document describes a MetaTrader workflow that records historical real ticks once, then replays them in mathematical mode for strategy testing. Sharing a tick file among optimizer agents is intended to avoid repeated data writes and reduce the time spent…
This document describes an Expert Advisor that trades when a Kalman Filter indicator changes color. It generates a signal at a bar close, so the strategy responds to a change in the indicator’s direction rather than acting during the bar. The advisor…
This Expert Advisor uses four user-positioned chart lines to trigger buy, sell, and close actions. A trade action occurs when the quoted market crosses the corresponding line, with the description specifying the ask moving above it while the bid is below.…
This document describes adding notifications to a semaphore-style indicator based on Williams Percent Range signals as the oscillator leaves overbought or oversold territory. The additions let a user choose the bar used for signal checks, enable sound,…
FitFul 13 is described as an expert advisor that calculates its main levels on the weekly timeframe, with level settings specified using two additional timeframe inputs. It limits the number of simultaneously open positions to three. The advisor obtains…
The Nadaraya–Watson estimator, attributed here to Nadaraya and Watson in 1964, estimates values with a locally weighted average. A kernel function assigns the weights, producing a smoothed series that can help a reader visually assess a possible trend. The…
The document describes a proposed dashboard indicator for monitoring active symbols and pairs in spread or equity trading. Its interface is meant to track changes in the selected symbols, retain settings during terminal changes, and let users set each pair's…
