The document presents a position-sizing method that converts a chosen percentage of account equity into a trade volume. It estimates the loss for one lot from the entry-to-stop distance, tick size, and tick value, then divides the allowed monetary risk by…
This document describes an Expert Advisor built around a momentum entry signal. For a buy, it scans a series of MACD readings for a transition from negative to positive, then checks that the close of a selected bar is above its moving average by a…
The document describes a MetaTrader 5 variant of the ColorMaRsi-Trigger indicator that adds a selectable chart timeframe through an input parameter. Its example default is a four-hour period. The indicator depends on the base ColorMaRsi-Trigger file, which…
This expert-advisor example describes a reversal rule: when a position closes at its take-profit or stop-loss, the program opens a position in the opposite direction. A buy closure is followed by a sell, and a sell closure by a buy. The explanation focuses…
The document describes a moving average built with four-fold exponential moving average averaging. The indicator displays its latest value as a price label and allows the displayed indicator levels to be rounded to a selected number of digits. The rounding…
This document describes a chart-based tool for viewing current, minimum, and maximum spreads across instruments available in a broker’s market watch. It is intended to help traders check account-specific spread conditions and identify periods of unusually…
Gaus_MA is a moving-average indicator that modifies a linearly weighted moving-average approach. Instead of using ordinary linear smoothing coefficients, it calculates the weights with a radial basis function, specifically a Gaussian function. The document…
This tool description covers a chart indicator that identifies upward, or bullish, and downward, or bearish, pinbars. Users can adjust parameters that define pinbar structure and detection logic, then display detected patterns as colored arrows. It also…
This reference explains Stochastic RSI as a stochastic calculation applied to RSI values rather than directly to price. It identifies six adjustable settings: the lookback periods for the stochastic %K and %D lines, a slowing period, the RSI period, and…
This short description presents ColorBullsCandle, a candlestick-style visualization of the ColorBulls indicator. It says the candles are generated by applying the indicator algorithm to a relevant price time series and suggests that this display may offer a…
The document outlines an expert-advisor strategy that looks for a new low during a downtrend alongside an oversold RSI reading to buy, and a new high with corresponding overbought conditions to sell. Users can set the lookback period for trend conditions, a…
The document describes a colorized Schaff Trend Cycle indicator calculated from the difference between two TriX oscillators with different periods. It identifies the underlying components and presents the indicator as a charting tool, but gives no parameter…
The described Expert Advisor looks for directional alignment among five moving averages with periods of 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200. It opens a buy when the shorter averages are ordered above the longer ones, and a sell when their order is reversed. An ADX…
The document describes an oscillator adaptation of the Gann High-Low Activator, an indicator attributed to Robert Krausz and described in a 1998 issue of a technical analysis magazine. It characterizes the underlying calculation as a simple moving average of…
The document describes an on-chart presentation of the stochastic oscillator. Because the oscillator has bounded values, it can be mapped onto the price panel using a channel formed from the highest high and lowest low. This places the indicator alongside…
This MetaTrader 5 demonstration describes constructing a three-dimensional surface from a series of moving average indicators. The surface is shown in a coordinate system that can be rotated by changing the slopes of the horizontal axes. Shifting the…
SSL_NRTR is described as a trend indicator that forms a channel by smoothing the price series' highs and lows. It signals rising or falling conditions when price exits that channel, and includes a separate flat state alongside its uptrend and downtrend…
The document defines the Historical Volatility Ratio (HVR) as the ratio of two standard deviations calculated over configurable periods. Each standard deviation is applied to the log price change, defined as the logarithm of the current applied price divided…
This document describes a custom indicator that plots the Commodity Channel Index in a separate pane and marks detected divergences both there and on the price chart. Bullish and bearish divergence marks use configurable colors, allowing the two signal…
TangoLine is a technical indicator designed to mark rapid changes in market direction and support early entries after a reversal. It plots a central line at the midpoint of the range formed by a reversal bar, together with upper and lower lines marking that…
This document introduces a chart indicator that displays a moving average together with a colored background cloud. The moving average acts as the boundary between color regions, giving a visual way to distinguish price conditions around the average. The…
This short description introduces a higher-timeframe version of the Color Standard Deviation indicator. Its main configurable feature is a timeframe input, with the example default set to a four-hour chart period. The document also states that the base Color…
This document explains an indicator that displays trend direction across selected chart timeframes in one panel. For each timeframe, it independently compares a fast moving average with a slow moving average: the fast average above the slow one is bullish,…
The Absolute Strength indicator measures the relative strength of buyers and sellers in points, presenting it as an alternative to RSI, Stochastic, and DMI. The description says point-based values can show finer-grained changes in strength than…
