Adding a Timeframe Input to a Volume-Weighted Moving Average Cloud

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This brief description covers a higher-timeframe version of a volume-weighted moving average cloud indicator. Its main feature is a user-selectable chart period, with four-hour data shown as the default example. The description implies that the indicator can be applied while viewing a chart on a different timeframe, allowing the cloud to reflect a selected higher timeframe.

The document provides no formula, chart interpretation rules, entry or exit signals, or trading results. It also says the higher-timeframe indicator depends on a separate base indicator file installed in the platform's indicator directory. This makes the note useful mainly as a description of indicator configuration and dependency, rather than as a complete trading method. The source is a translated code listing, and the supplied text does not establish how the indicator performs or how traders should use its signals.

Key ideas

  • The indicator lets users select the timeframe used for the volume-weighted moving average cloud.
  • The example selects a four-hour period.
  • The higher-timeframe indicator requires a separate base indicator file.
  • The description provides no signal rules or performance evidence.
