The indicator draws horizontal support and resistance levels from the minimum and maximum over a selected set of recent bars. Users can choose the chart timeframe, the first bar included in the analysis, and how many bars to examine. Separate controls set…
The Volatility Quality Index is described as a trend-oriented indicator that marks upward and downward direction with green and red signals. Its calculation uses smoothed open, high, low, and close values, compares the current close with a lagged smoothed…
This document describes a MACD variation that uses a nonlag moving average in place of the conventional exponential moving average for the MACD calculation. It also applies the nonlag average to the signal line, presenting the indicator as a faster-reacting…
This document describes an MDAC indicator that colors chart bars to communicate trend state. Green denotes an uptrend, red denotes a downtrend, and blue bars appearing after either of those colors indicate a possible trend change. The color scheme offers a…
The Fractal Graph Dimension Indicator is presented as a way to distinguish trending conditions from unstable, volatile conditions. It has three inputs: the calculation period, the applied price, and a threshold. Readings below the threshold are classified as…
This indicator is designed to alert when market price crosses a moving average. Users set the moving-average length, with 200 periods given as the default, and choose a point-distance threshold that determines when movement across the average counts as a…
This brief note describes CHO_HTF, a version of the CHO indicator that lets the user select a calculation timeframe independently through an input parameter. The example default is a four-hour period, allowing the indicator to be applied while viewing a…
This indicator is presented as a generalized adaptive moving average related to Kaufman’s adaptive moving average. The described adaptation accounts for where the close falls within the high-low range. The generalized implementation changes the calculation…
This indicator displays the current candle’s price change as a percentage of its opening price. Users can select the candle timeframe and display up to eight pairs on a chart, making it possible to compare this measure across several instruments at once. The…
The document describes a chart indicator that scans for thirty popular candlestick patterns and marks detected patterns on the price chart. Users can configure the display by pattern group—one-bar, two-bar, or three-bar formations—and individually enable or…
This indicator displays arithmetic and geometric moving averages in one chart window. Both are calculated from the average of each bar’s open, high, low, and close prices, rather than from closing prices alone. Users can set a separate lookback period for…
The script described in the document scans bars on a one-hour chart to calculate average volume per hour. It is restricted to that chart timeframe and uses the absolute value of volume in its calculation. The result is displayed in a message box, giving the…
The described MT5 indicator gathers several measures of current market activity into a chart-side dashboard. It displays spread, volatility, volume activity, and daily range, with simple labels intended to distinguish normal, quiet, and highly volatile…
ATRR is described as an indicator that compares two Average True Range values calculated over different lookback periods. Its two inputs set the periods for the first and second ATR calculations. The intended use is to view the relative behavior of…
The indicator marks bullish gaps with upward arrows and bearish gaps with downward arrows. Traders can set a minimum gap size in points so smaller gaps are ignored. An optional history check can identify gaps that later close, displaying a cross for closed…
This Expert Advisor monitors price movement and spreads using two observation windows. Over a user-defined number of ticks, it calculates average pip movement and average spread; it also computes those averages across a specified number of seconds. The EA…
The document describes a semaphore-style trading indicator based on Average True Range. A signal appears when ATR begins to rise after having fallen, so the indicator is designed to mark a change in volatility rather than a stated directional forecast. Its…
This document describes a MetaTrader 5 SuperTrend indicator that adapts its volatility bands and selected trade parameters using prior signal outcomes. It offers reversal and failed-breakout signal modes, with optional confirmation from RSI, tick-volume…
This product description outlines an automated trading system that uses an “Accelerator” indicator and trades from the open price of a candle. It says the EA is intended for major forex pairs and NASDAQ stocks, across timeframes, and recommends trying it on…
This indicator modification takes a standard volume measure and divides it by the spread. The author removed the original color-changing behavior because it was considered unhelpful after the transformation, then added an option to turn spread adjustment on…
This brief indicator note describes a higher-timeframe version of CronexRSI. Users can select the indicator calculation period through an input parameter, with a four-hour period shown as the default example. The main idea is to view the RSI-based indicator…
This document describes an MQL5 class for calculating the Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) with a ring buffer. The class accepts high, low, and close price data and supports calculation across full arrays or one value at a time. Its initialization…
This indicator applies Ehlers’ inverse Fisher transform to several RSI variants, including regular RSI, Cutler’s RSI, Haris’ RSI, Rapid RSI, RSX, and Slow RSI. The stated aim is to emphasize oscillator extremes, making overbought and oversold conditions more…
This document describes a chart-based trading assistant that manages two opposing limit orders. A trader places one order on each side of the current price, then starts the assistant. When either order activates, the assistant automatically deletes the other…
