Damiani Volatility Meter: Cloud Colors for Trend Strength

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document introduces the Damiani volatility meter, an indicator that represents volatility or trend strength with a colored cloud. Gray marks a weak trend, while orange marks a strong one. It also notes that the indicator was first implemented in MQL4 and published in 2008. The description offers a basic interpretation of the display, but does not explain the calculations behind the signal or provide parameters for reproducing it.

No performance results, comparative tests, or trading rules are given. The indicator’s color should therefore be treated as a visual cue rather than evidence that a trend will persist or that a trade is profitable. The page provides too little detail to assess how the meter behaves across instruments, timeframes, or market conditions, and it does not discuss false signals or risk controls.

Key ideas

  • The indicator uses a colored cloud to display trend strength.
  • Gray indicates a weak trend, while orange indicates a strong trend.
  • The document gives no calculation details, testing evidence, or trading rules.
