A Rounded Price Grid for the Envelopes Indicator

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This document describes a customized Envelopes indicator that displays the channel as a filled cloud, labels its latest values, and adds a price grid based on rounded channel levels. A user input controls the number of digits used for rounding, allowing the displayed levels to be adjusted to the desired precision.

The note explains the indicator’s features and mentions that it relies on classes from a smoothing-algorithm library. It points readers to a separate article for background on those classes, but supplies no trading rules, performance evidence, or parameter-selection guidance. The indicator is therefore a charting aid rather than a tested strategy; the document does not explain how to interpret the rounded levels or account for the effects of rounding in trading decisions.

Key ideas

  • The Envelopes channel can be rendered as a filled cloud on a price chart.
  • Labels show the latest channel values, and a grid marks their rounded levels.
  • A configurable digit setting controls the rounding precision.
  • The indicator depends on an external smoothing-algorithm library.
