A Faster Implementation of an Andrew Abraham Trend Indicator

Summary

This brief note presents a faster implementation of an indicator based on Andrew Abraham’s “Trading the Trend” article in TASC. Its focus is computational performance in MetaTrader environments, particularly when the indicator is repeatedly invoked through custom indicator calls. The description says that critical parts associated with slowdown have been optimized.

The excerpt does not explain the indicator’s calculation rules, entry or exit signals, parameter choices, or any trading results. It mentions that the display type is set through parameters rather than adjusted automatically, but gives no further details. The source reference provides context for the indicator’s lineage, while the note itself offers too little methodological or empirical information to assess the trend logic or whether the speed changes affect trading use.

Key ideas

• The indicator implementation is based on Andrew Abraham’s trend trading article in TASC.
• The stated contribution is reducing computational slowdowns in MetaTrader.
• The performance concern is especially relevant when the indicator is called repeatedly through custom indicator functions.
• Display type is controlled through parameters rather than adjusted automatically.
• The excerpt provides no signal rules, benchmark timings, or evidence about trading performance.
