Displaying Momentum Indicator Values as Candlesticks

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This indicator presents the output of a Momentum calculation as a sequence of candlesticks. Rather than showing momentum only in its usual indicator form, it processes the relevant price time series through the Momentum algorithm and renders the resulting values as candle-like bars. The stated purpose is to offer a potentially more informative visual format for analysis.

The description does not explain the calculation period, candle construction details, signal interpretation, or how the display might be used to enter or exit trades. It supplies no chart examples, backtest results, or evidence that this presentation improves decisions. Traders would need to inspect the implementation and test any interpretation against their own instruments and timeframes; the document establishes a visualization approach, not a standalone strategy.

Key ideas

  • The indicator applies the Momentum algorithm to a price time series.
  • It displays the processed values as a sequence of candlesticks.
  • The alternative format is proposed as a potentially more informative way to analyze momentum.
  • The description gives no parameter details, trading rules, or performance evidence.
