OscSAR_Histogram displays the difference between the closing price and the iSAR indicator as a colored histogram, with the difference expressed in points. This provides a visual measure of how far the close is from the Parabolic SAR value; the document does…
This indicator adapts Williams Percent Range by calculating separate values for the open, close, high, and low, then combining them into a candle-style display. Its calculation differs from the standard WPR formula so that each of the four price inputs can…
The document describes a MetaTrader 5 testing issue in real-tick mode: limit and take-profit orders may receive unrealistically favorable positive slippage, inflating simulated results. It presents a utility that reports slippage in account currency and…
The document describes adding withdrawal tracking to an existing Expert Advisor so position sizing can respond when account funds are removed. It identifies a limitation in recovery-style sizing systems: an EA may increase lot size after losses and retain…
The M1MA indicator estimates an effective price for each chart bar by averaging price data from the corresponding one-minute bars. It is intended for timeframes of five minutes or higher, with intraday charts recommended. The result is presented as an…
The indicator displays the direction or trade signal produced by a separate METRO stochastic signal indicator, calculated on a selected timeframe. A round symbol denotes continuation of the current trend at the chosen bar, while a directional arrow marks a…
This brief indicator description explains a chart overlay that plots straight price channels from three timeframes on a single chart. It also draws each channel’s upper and lower boundaries, using line widths to distinguish the timeframes. A related version…
This indicator adapts the RSI calculation by first comparing the close with a configurable moving average of a selected price series. Positive and negative differences are separated into gain and loss inputs, then each side is smoothed with a configurable…
This document describes an expert advisor that trades signals from the MAOscillatorHist indicator. It enters a trade when the indicator histogram changes direction, with the signal evaluated at the close of a bar. The advisor depends on a compiled indicator…
This indicator marks a candle’s midpoint and colors the marker according to whether the candle is bullish or bearish. It offers two midpoint definitions: the center of the full candle range, calculated from the high and low, or the center of the candle body,…
Corrected JMA is described as a variation on the Jurik Moving Average. It uses the JMA as a reference for measuring price deviations, then flattens the indicator’s value when those deviations are judged insignificant. This is intended to make directional…
EMAPredictive3 is described as a moving-average indicator built from the exponential moving average algorithm. Its defining construction is a linear interpolation between two EMAs calculated over different periods. The document attributes the indicator to…
The Inverse Distance Weighted Moving Average (IDWMA) is presented as a price-smoothing indicator. Its calculation is described qualitatively: the line initially moves away from the average price, then approaches the price. The document says it is somewhat…
The document explains Supertrend as an ATR-based trend-following indicator that plots a changing support or resistance band. It describes how volatility sets the band width and how the line changes sides when price movement signals a trend reversal. An…
This brief description outlines an automated trading strategy built around the Average Directional Movement Index and Bollinger Bands. The EA evaluates signals only when a new bar appears and keeps at most one open position, allowing it to operate on either…
The document gives a brief description of a semaphore-style indicator built from crossovers between the Di Plus and Di Minus lines of a smoothed ADX indicator. It identifies the line relationship used to produce the signal, but does not explain the signal’s…
The document describes a forex chart indicator that assigns a degree value to price position on the active timeframe and alerts when the trend state changes. It divides readings into bearish, bullish, and stronger versions of each state, with degree ranges…
The Didi Index is described as a moving-average indicator developed by Brazilian analyst Odir Aguiar. It uses three moving averages, including periods of 8 and 20, arranged around a zero center line. Its “needles” form when the averages converge near that…
This indicator description adds a three-level trend-strength display to the i-CAi indicator. It calculates standard deviation and compares it with two user-set thresholds. When the value falls between the thresholds, a small colored dot appears on the moving…
This brief description introduces a two moving average crossover strategy. A trader chooses a shorter and a longer averaging period, then uses their intersection to identify a possible position entry. It gives a 50-day and 200-day pair as an example, but…
This document describes an Expert Advisor that trades signals from the custom BullsBearsEyes indicator. It opens a buy when the indicator value on the prior bar is 0.0 and a sell when that value is 1.0. The EA includes configurable stop-loss, take-profit,…
The document outlines a simple technical signal concept that combines a detector for consecutive candles with relative strength index levels. The user-configurable settings are the number of consecutive candles required to qualify as a signal, an RSI…
The document explains an adaptive lookback method for moving averages. It estimates a variable period by counting how many price bars are needed for a chosen number of swing highs or lows to form, then dividing the bar count by the swing count and rounding.…
This expert-advisor description explains an order trigger based on price crossing a moving average rather than on candle values. It says a hedge order can follow when a later candle produces another crossover relative to prior orders. The supplied logic…
