This indicator variation aims to reduce false or excessive signals from a stochastic oscillator. It applies a step chart filter to the calculated stochastic: a user-set step size determines the minimum change treated as significant, and changes in the step…
This MetaTrader expert advisor applies a simple perceptron to three forex symbols: EURUSD, GBPJPY, and AUDNZD. At a synchronized new bar, it evaluates selected values from the Acceleration/Deceleration oscillator and combines them with four parameter-derived…
This document describes an Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 that uses signals from a BuySell semaphore indicator. It opens a trade when a bar closes and the indicator reverses direction, indicated by a color change and a large colored square. The document…
MinPriceChange is an indicator for identifying a possible transition from a flat market into a breakout or reversal. It sums bar-to-bar close changes over a configurable period, then compares the current sum with sums from an earlier lookback. A new signal…
The document presents a swing-point detector based on pullbacks rather than fixed candle patterns such as three-bar fractals. While searching for a high, it tracks the highest high and the low of the candle that set it; the high is confirmed when price…
This expert advisor demonstrates using Wilder’s Parabolic Stop and Reverse as a trailing stop for existing positions. On each new bar, it updates the stop level toward the position’s favorable price extreme. The acceleration factor rises in fixed increments…
This charting script marks the Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York forex sessions with colored rectangles. Users set each session’s opening hour and duration, allowing past session windows to be overlaid on price data. The colored regions can help traders…
This brief description presents a candle-based indicator that tracks runs of candles moving in the same direction. When several consecutive candles share a direction, it colors the current candle to match that direction, making the sequence easier to see on…
The document describes a chart indicator that applies the XRSX algorithm to a relevant price time series and displays the processed values as a sequence of candlesticks. The stated purpose is to make the indicator’s information more useful for visual…
This brief description presents an example of plotting a function’s spectrum using a Fast Fourier Transform library. The input can be either a test signal formed by summing three sinusoids with differing parameters or market closing prices. This outlines a…
The Fibo ZigZag indicator identifies successive price highs and lows, measures the distance between them, and plots retracement percentages from the swing extremes. The listed levels are 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%. It is described as a revised version of…
This indicator uses a smoothed Average Directional Movement Index to mark trend direction and apparent strength on the price chart. It compares the positive and negative directional lines: when the positive line is higher, the chart displays a lime dot; when…

This document describes a version of the XCCX standard deviation indicator that lets the user select the timeframe used for its calculations. The example input sets the indicator to a four-hour period, while leaving the chart timeframe as a separate choice.…
The document explains a position-sizing function that estimates lot volume from a chosen percentage of account balance and the distance to a stop loss. Its stated calculation first converts the risk percentage into an account-currency risk amount, then…
The document briefly describes an indicator that combines the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) with Tilson’s ratio. It also notes that the implementation limits its calculations to a maximum of 100,000 bars and mentions an expert advisor that implements the…
The document introduces a simple chart indicator that displays support and resistance lines. It recommends considering the lines in range-bound markets and says the indicator can be applied on any timeframe. No calculation method, parameter settings, chart…
The document describes an oscillator that plots the width of a Donchian channel in a separate window. It defines width as the highest high minus the lowest low over a selected lookback period, providing a simple measure of the price range covered by that…
The document describes a MetaTrader 4 testing workflow for expert advisors that trade multiple symbols and evaluate results by total pips rather than account currency. It says this helps compare symbols with different pip values and avoids relying on swap…
This indicator description presents a Money Flow Index display that combines three configurable timeframes and offers an average. Its adjustable inputs include the MFI calculation period and volume basis, overbought, median, and oversold levels, each…
This brief indicator description combines a standard Relative Strength Index display with support and resistance levels drawn on the chart. It says the RSI can be used in the usual way and that changes in the indicator's color may also be treated as signals.…
This MQL5 example shows how to extract MACD values over a chosen date range, identify zero-line crossings, and save each signal with its timestamp in a CSV file. A crossing from below zero to zero or above is labeled as a buy signal; a crossing from above…
This document describes a read-only MetaTrader 5 diagnostic for sizing a hypothetical trade to a cash-risk budget. It estimates the loss on one lot between an entry and stop with the terminal’s profit calculator, subtracts a user-entered reserve for costs,…
Woodies CCI is described as a technical indicator that combines two Commodity Channel Index calculations using different lookback periods. The document identifies its author and notes that the indicator was originally written in MQL4 and published in a…
