GMMA Long Histogram as a Trend-Following Indicator

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This brief note describes GMMA Long Gistogram, a histogram presentation of the GMMA Long indicator. Its stated purpose is to make the underlying indicator easier to interpret visually, and it classifies the tool as trend-following. The original idea is attributed to Matt Trigwell, while DmMikl86 is credited with implementing the histogram. The indicator was first published in MQL4 Code Base in 2010.

The document offers no formula, parameter settings, chart interpretation rules, trading entry or exit method, or backtest results. It therefore identifies the indicator’s lineage and broad use but does not explain how to translate its readings into a trading strategy or assess its performance. Traders would need the original implementation or additional documentation to understand its signals and test them across markets and time periods.
