This note describes a Swami-style stochastic indicator associated with John Ehlers’s discussion in a March 2012 issue of TASC. The indicator displays colored zones derived from stochastic calculations and adds a generic stochastic value, described as an…
This automated strategy combines MACD crossovers with a 200-period moving average filter and support or resistance conditions. A buy setup requires the MACD main line to cross above its signal line below zero, price to be above the moving average, and price…
This indicator compares the direction of the USDX line with the direction of the Slope Direction Line and displays a colored pointer in a separate chart window. It marks agreement when both lines point upward or both point downward, using distinct colors for…
This indicator gathers values from up to ten combinations of symbols, timeframes, and signal variants, synchronizing them to the symbol on which the indicator is installed. Its original purpose is to provide normalized inputs to a neural network, though the…
This indicator applies the Relative Strength Index to values from Parabolic SAR rather than to market prices. The author presents it as another variation in the RSI family and says it can be used in the same general way as a conventional RSI. In this…
This brief note introduces standard named pipes as a way for developers to communicate with the MetaTrader 4 terminal environment without relying on potentially unsafe DLLs. It describes pipe access as operating through familiar file-style reads and writes,…
This framework outlines pre-trade checks for a robot sending a market buy order. It obtains the current ask and bid, computes optional stop-loss and take-profit levels, and adjusts those levels when they fall inside the broker’s minimum stop distance. It…
SwingCyborg is an expert advisor for automating medium- and long-term trades whose trend start and end are chosen by a human. The user provides those turning points, and the software manages the trading continuously. It includes three money-management…
This document describes an educational MetaTrader 5 panel for manually entering trades on hedging accounts. A trader chooses BUY or SELL; the panel sizes positions by a configured percentage risk and submits a broker-side stop loss with an optional…
This indicator description focuses on supply and demand zones and their behavior over time. It reports the number of times zones are retested and identifies levels that switch roles, such as support becoming resistance or resistance becoming support. Users…
The document describes an implementation of William Blau’s stochastic oscillator from his work on momentum, direction, and divergence. It presents the oscillator as a colored histogram with a signal line displayed as a colored cloud, offering a visual way to…
This coding example describes a simple Forex robot that places a sell pending order at the upper Bollinger Band and a buy pending order at the lower band. It uses the bands’ central simple moving average as a position-closing level. The shown setup is tied…
This extended Fibonacci channel indicator lets users choose how to define the reference distance that represents the full channel width on each bar. The available methods are the maximum, mean, or median price displacement from a moving average, or the…
This indicator displays two Bollinger Band channels built around one moving average and adds labels showing the latest values. The document identifies the visual components and notes that the implementation depends on a smoothing-algorithm library for…
This brief note compares a normalized version of MACD with the standard indicator. It says the two may look similar in ordinary conditions but can diverge substantially during periods of elevated volatility. The differences may affect not only the indicator…
The strategy defines a range using the high and low of the first four-hour candle of the New York day. Once that candle has formed, it waits for a five-minute close outside the range, followed by a close back inside. A move above the high and then back into…
This indicator description explains a visual way to compare the Skyscraper_Fix trend signal across ten timeframes. It plots ten indicator lines, with line and dot colors derived from the original indicator's middle-line color scheme. A star appears on a line…
This expert advisor combines RSI reversal signals with moving average direction. It buys when RSI leaves oversold territory and turns upward while the moving average is rising; the sell setup reverses those conditions. A higher timeframe moving average can…
Ozymandias is presented as a price indicator intended to filter short-term fluctuations. It plots a colored line around the price range and a band that signals overbought or oversold conditions. The line color represents an average price value, while the…
This MetaTrader expert advisor generates buy and sell signals by comparing the current bar’s open price with moving average values from the current and preceding bars. It evaluates the conditions on every tick. When a signal appears in a direction that…
XWAMI is a momentum indicator that displays a colored cloud to show trend direction. Its smoothing algorithm can be changed, allowing users to view the indicator with different smoothing methods. The document notes that the implementation relies on a library…
This document explains a custom Hull Moving Average indicator calculated from closing prices. For each bar, it computes weighted moving averages over the full period and half period, doubles the half-period average and subtracts the full-period average, then…
This document describes an MQL5 expert advisor intended to manage already-open positions by closing them when profit or loss reaches a user-set threshold expressed as a percentage of account balance. It does not generate entries or determine when to trade,…
JSATL combines two smoothing methods in sequence: it first applies the Slow Adaptive Trend Line (SATL) digital filter to a price series, then applies JMA adaptive smoothing to the filtered output. The additional smoothing is intended to reduce reactions to…
