Fast2 Indicator: Quadratic Analysis of Recent Bars and Signal-Line Crossovers

Summary

Fast2 analyzes the most recent three price bars using a quadratic function and presents the result as a histogram with two signal lines calculated over different periods. The described entry idea is to enter the market when those signal lines cross. This outlines the indicator’s basic construction and a crossover-based use, but the document does not define whether entries are long, short, or both, nor does it explain exits, parameter selection, or risk controls.

The description gives historical context, stating that the indicator was first implemented in MQL4 and published in 2008. It reports no test results or comparison with other indicators, so it provides no evidence of profitability or reliability. Its MQL5 implementation also depends on a separate smoothing-algorithm library in the terminal’s include folder. The brief note is therefore useful as a conceptual overview, but it is not a complete or validated trading system.

Key ideas

• Fast2 analyzes the latest three bars with a quadratic function.
• It displays the calculated series as a histogram with two signal lines of different periods.
• The stated market-entry signal is an intersection of the two signal lines.
• The document provides no exit rules, risk controls, or performance evidence.
• The MQL5 implementation depends on a separate smoothing-algorithm library.
