High-Low Moving Average Band for Visualizing Price Ranges

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This document describes a chart indicator that fills the area between two moving averages calculated from high and low prices. The resulting band appears as a colored histogram on the price chart, providing a visual envelope around price based on the selected averaging period and calculation method.

The indicator has two settings: the moving-average period and the moving-average method. The document does not specify how the two averages are applied beyond their high/low price inputs, nor does it define entry or exit signals, parameter defaults, or a trading rule. It provides no performance tests or evidence that the band predicts price movement. Traders can use it as a display of smoothed price range, but would need to define and validate any systematic interpretation separately.

Key ideas

  • The indicator displays a filled band between moving averages derived from high and low prices.
  • Its configurable inputs are the averaging period and calculation method.
  • The description presents a chart visualization and does not provide trading signals or performance evidence.
