The document briefly describes an indicator built from two Double Exponential Moving Averages applied to averaged high and low price series. Together, these averages form a channel. Candles that move beyond the channel receive a color associated with the…
The document explains how to create synthetic currency strength instruments in MetaTrader 5. For each currency, it combines readings from several currency pairs, where each reading represents the close price’s position within the recent high-low range. The…

This document describes an Expert Advisor that combines an indicator signal from three timeframes: M1, M5, and H1. The H1 indicator value selects the permitted position direction, either buying or selling. The two shorter timeframes then provide entry…
The document describes two ways to construct a Lagrange polynomial in an indicator tool. One option detects local maxima and minima automatically and uses those points as the basis for the polynomial. The other builds the polynomial from points chosen by the…
This short description introduces an indicator that uses the X2MA moving average as the price series for an iSAR, or parabolic SAR, calculation. The stated aim is to smooth the parabolic indicator through the moving average, with the intention of making its…
This brief technical note discusses implementing an exponential moving average (EMA) in a trading indicator. It focuses on execution speed and code reuse, noting that the calculation is relatively simple and that an implementation without nested loops should…
This indicator description presents large and small trigger lines as a visual aid for reading market direction alongside an existing trading strategy. It frames the large lines as a proxy for the broader or higher-timeframe trend and the small lines as a…
This Expert Advisor description explains how to configure separate long and short trading systems around changes in the color of the XDidi Index Cloud indicator. Each side has its own magic number, position sizing settings, and entry and exit switches,…
This document explains a chart utility that derives standard timeframe charts from one-minute data and can optionally recreate the one-minute volume series before conversion. A configurable parameter controls the treatment: negative values below a threshold…
The document describes a chart indicator built around a TimeZonePivots channel. It marks candlesticks that extend beyond the channel’s upper or lower limits, using candle colors to distinguish whether the move agrees with the prevailing trend. Trend-aligned…
The document describes a MetaTrader indicator that marks five price-action concepts: breaks and changes in market structure, order blocks, fair value gaps, equal highs and lows, and buy or sell signals. Swing pivots use a configurable lookback; a break…
This MetaTrader Expert Advisor uses a custom Breakout Bars Trend indicator to trade trend reversals. It opens a position when the indicator changes direction, or can wait until the current reversal follows a configured number of false signals. A signal is…
The document describes a support and resistance indicator based on the prior candle’s high, low, and close. For daily levels, it uses the previous day’s candle and applies the resulting levels to charts below the daily timeframe; levels are recalculated each…
This note describes a utility that trails an open position’s stop loss using Parabolic SAR on a selected timeframe. For a buy position, it considers moving the stop when the prior bar’s SAR is above the entry price and below that bar’s low. For a sell…
The document introduces John Ehlers’ Center of Gravity indicator as a finite impulse response filter applied to price, with a configurable calculation period. It presents the indicator as a low-lag tool for spotting potential turning points. The basic signal…
The document describes a lightweight reporting setup for MetaTrader accounts. An expert advisor writes account balance and position change information to text files, while a separate ICQ bot responds to user commands by sending the contents of selected…
The document outlines an expert advisor for EURUSD that trades around the European and American sessions. It identifies session start and end times as configurable inputs and describes a minimum European-session range, stop loss, take profit, and a lot-size…
This description outlines an Expert Advisor based on the MALR indicator. It opens short positions when price crosses the indicator’s upper line downward and opens long positions when price crosses its lower line upward. Optional controls include adding a…
This brief description introduces a linear regression indicator for estimating prices from historical observations. It says the indicator fits a straight line to price points using the least-squares method, with the number of bars as an input parameter. A…
