The Gann HiLo Activator is described as a trend indicator that plots a colored line based on a configurable period. It calculates simple moving averages of high and low prices. When the close rises above the average high, the direction switches upward; when…
Polarized Fractal Efficiency (PFE) is presented as an oscillator for identifying trend direction. Its configurable inputs are fast and slow rate-of-change periods, a moving-average period, and a scale factor. The calculation derives short- and long-horizon…
This document explains insertion sort, a method that builds an ordered list one item at a time by inserting each new element into its proper position among those already processed. It highlights the algorithm’s stability, constant extra-memory use, and…
Weekly VWAP is described as the cumulative sum of price multiplied by volume divided by cumulative volume, reset at the start of each trading week. It is plotted as a single chart line and serves as a reference for the week’s volume-weighted average trading…
Velocity_v2 is described as a momentum oscillator that applies triple averaging and includes a signal line. The averaging is used to filter the indicator’s direction, giving traders a smoothed view of momentum. The note identifies the indicator’s original…
This chart indicator marks recurring intraday time points with vertical lines, using separate configurable colors, line styles, widths, and optional background shading. Its inputs define daily lines and three named time references, identified in the document…
The indicator combines several moving averages by comparing the fastest selected average with the others and using the resulting differences to represent trend. The user can choose periods and arrange them in any order; the indicator handles their ordering.…
This short description covers an expert advisor that tracks how long market orders have existed and generates an alert once for each order. It can retain its state across a terminal restart, write messages to a log, and use a configurable sound file stored…
This document describes an exponential moving average that can incorporate a smoothed trend component. Its settings are the EMA coefficient, the trend coefficient, a switch for enabling trend adjustment, and the price series to apply. The input price is…
This indicator adapts the Hull moving average by using a fast exponential moving average in its calculation. The standard Hull method combines weighted moving averages over different periods and applies a smoothing step based on the square root of the…
This document explains an MT5 indicator that tracks runs of consecutive rising and falling bars. Separate plots show upward and downward runs, and each count resets when a bar prints in the opposite direction. A trader can set a threshold around commonly…
This document describes an expert advisor that trades changes in the direction color of a PercentageCrossover indicator. It generates a signal when a bar closes and the indicator changes direction, then allows trades to be restricted to a configurable daily…
The document presents an experimental stochastic oscillator that changes the averaging method used in its calculation while leaving the price inputs unchanged. It offers four variants based on simple, exponential, smoothed, and linearly weighted averages.…
This document describes an automated trading system that seeks trades when price diverges from either the Relative Strength Index or Commodity Channel Index. It lists configurable indicator thresholds and a bar-count setting for waiting for a divergence,…
This brief description explains a simple position-sizing calculator for MetaTrader 5. The user supplies a desired risk as a percentage and a stop distance in pips, and the indicator returns a lot size intended to fit those inputs. The document therefore…
The document describes an adaptive moving average based on Perry Kaufman’s KAMA and an approach attributed to Vitali Apirine. The adaptation uses the close’s position within the high–low range, and the indicator is presented as a faster alternative to KAMA…
This Expert Advisor follows the BlauTVI trend indicator. It generates a signal when a bar closes and the indicator histogram changes direction. Users can enable a trading window and specify its start and end times. The default schedule covers the day from…
This strategy uses the highest and lowest prices over a configurable number of recent bars to choose a trade direction. If the current bar sets the lookback high, it opens a buy; otherwise, it opens a sell. The premise is that prices often revisit recent…
This Expert Advisor trades when the ColorZeroLagTriX indicator cloud changes color. It forms a signal at bar close when the oscillator crosses its signal line, making the method dependent on a confirmed closing-bar crossover rather than an intrabar move. The…
The indicator compares three moving averages whose configured periods must increase from the first average to the second and then the third. It colors the display green when all three averages are ordered from highest to lowest, and red when they are ordered…
The Aroon Up and Down indicator tracks how recently a chart has made local highs and lows, using a configurable lookback period. Its lines can be used to identify when prices rise from a recent low or decline from a recent high, with line crossings presented…
This chart indicator adapts the stochastic volatility concept to highlight periods when volatility is unusually low. It marks candidate bars with red lines in a separate indicator window and red candles on the price chart. The author suggests these periods…
The Trend Risk indicator estimates a smoothed price and a smoothed high-low range, then uses a deviation multiplier to form upper and lower channel boundaries. A close above the upper boundary or below the lower boundary places the boundary value in a signal…
This document describes an Expert Advisor that combines two independent trading systems based on the Skyscraper_Fix and ColorAML indicators. It generates a signal when a bar closes and either indicator changes color, which the document treats as a change in…
