GruchaAverage Trend Line: A Weighted Trend Classification Indicator

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The GruchaAverage is described as a moving average that groups prices into classes and gives greater weight to classes containing extreme prices. The document contrasts this weighting approach with a weighted moving average, but does not explain the calculation or define the classes. Its stated purpose is to indicate whether the market is bought up, sold off, or in a trend state.

The indicator uses three colors to label its reading: green for an uptrend, red for a downtrend, and blue for no trend. These labels offer a simple visual interpretation, but the document provides no chart, market examples, parameter settings, or performance evidence. It does not explain how to turn the color changes into entries or exits, or how the indicator behaves across different assets and timeframes. Treat it as a brief description of a trend classification tool rather than a complete trading method.
