ATR and Standard Deviation as Inputs to a Trend Indicator

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

SFX_TOR is described as a trend indicator built around Average True Range and standard deviation. Its chart displays ATR, standard deviation, and an averaged standard-deviation series, giving traders a view of these measures alongside the indicator's trend presentation.

The description identifies Brian Dee as the original author and notes that the indicator was first written in MQL4 and published in 2011. It does not explain how ATR and standard deviation are combined into trend signals, specify settings, or provide trading rules or performance evidence. As a result, the text identifies the indicator's components and provenance but offers too little detail to assess its signal construction or reliability.
