The document discusses a bar-style presentation of John Ehlers's Detrended Synthetic Price indicator, described as a basic oscillator displayed as colored bars on the main price chart. It contrasts this version with an approach that relies on fixed threshold…
This document outlines a long-only breakout strategy attributed to an earlier system by Chuck LeBe and David Lucas. It uses a rising long-period moving average as a directional filter. A buy signal occurs when the closing price crosses upward through the…
The document describes an indicator that presents trend information from the CronexChaikin indicator on a fixed timeframe. It derives its signal from the relative positions of the indicator’s main and signal lines, and displays the source indicator’s cloud…
This document describes a one-minute EUR/USD scalping example built around virtual pending orders. A library simulates buy-stop and sell-stop orders, including stop-limit variants, by checking whether price or an indicator crosses specified thresholds.…
This Expert Advisor uses a fixed alternating direction: it starts with a buy and switches between buys and sells on successive trades. It opens trades at candle starts and applies stop loss and take profit settings. After a losing trade, the next position…
This MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor is a position-management utility for traders who enter trades manually. It does not create entry signals or open positions. For buys, it places an initial stop beyond a recent swing low; for sells, beyond a recent swing high.…
This document describes an Expert Advisor that uses the TrendContinuation indicator to generate trade signals. It checks for a change in the indicator’s direction, identified by a color change, when a bar closes. The document also gives a setup note for…
This document describes a MetaTrader indicator that annotates candles with price gains or losses when a configured threshold is exceeded. It reports changes both in points and percentage, with two calculation modes: current close versus open, or current…
The Gann High Low Activator is described as a channel built from moving averages of prior-period highs and lows. The close determines which of the two curves is plotted, producing a line that can be used to track the boundary a price move would need to cross…
This indicator description explains how to plot a moving average calculated on one timeframe over a chart using another timeframe. It lists inputs for the calculation period and method, the applied price, the calculation timeframe, and the drawing mode. The…
Moving Average Bands Width (MABW) is described as a volatility indicator based on the percentage distance between moving average bands. Wider bands correspond to rising volatility, while narrower bands correspond to declining volatility. Changes in width may…
This indicator combines smoothed Heiken-Ashi candles with two color-filled channels. The channels are based on mean-square deviations calculated from the indicator candles’ highs and lows. Its configurable parameters include the smoothing method and depth, a…
This note describes a modified MACD that smooths a normalized version of the indicator and adds bounds based on minimum and maximum values. It briefly reviews conventional MACD, formed from the difference between fast and slow exponential moving averages,…
Aegis Quantum Lite is described as an educational MetaTrader 5 expert advisor using completed-candle signals. It opens a buy when the fast exponential moving average is above the slow average and RSI exceeds its configured buy threshold; a sell uses the…
The document describes a variation on the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) intended to reduce its rapid, jagged movements. Instead of smoothing the finished CCI series, it filters the input prices first and then calculates CCI from those filtered prices. The…
This document explains a chart indicator that displays the direction of a trend or a potential deal signal generated by a separate trend-arrow indicator. It distinguishes continuation from a change in trend: continuation appears as a horizontal…
This Expert Advisor seeks possible trend changes by tracking the difference between two moving averages. It applies a cubic nonlinear transformation to that difference, amplifying larger departures from zero relative to smaller ones, then uses upper and…
This Expert Advisor trades signals from the F2a_AO semaphore indicator after filtering them by the direction of a closed candle on a higher timeframe. The timeframe and candle index are configurable, with daily timeframe and the most recently closed bar as…
The document explains an expert advisor approach for managing stop loss, take profit, and trailing exits locally on a trader’s computer. Because the stop orders are virtual, they are not sent to the broker. The article also says the system ignores broker…
The document describes an enhancement to the EMAVFS indicator that marks trend strength with colored dots on its moving average. The dot color indicates the current trend direction, while the standard deviation of the indicator determines whether a dot…
KWAN_NRP combines values from the stochastic, relative strength index, and momentum indicators into a two-color histogram. Its stated interpretation is directional: rising indicator values and green bars accompany asset growth, while falling values and pink…
The indicator evaluates a family of AbsolutelyNoLagLwma smoothed price series across periods generated by an arithmetic progression. At each update, it determines the direction of each smoothed series, counts positive and negative directions, and smooths…
This MQL5 library controls when an Expert Advisor processes incoming ticks. At startup it reads or constructs trading-session schedules for each day of the week, supporting up to ten sessions per day. The example creates a session-control object for the…
The Ehlers Filter is presented as an indicator for following the common price trend and trading in its direction. It exposes three settings: the period used for smoothing, the momentum lookback, and the applied price series. Its calculation takes moving…
