Summary

This indicator combines the MACD histogram with bar colors based on the Elder Impulse System. It presents a way to display momentum information alongside a trend-oriented visual signal, helping readers interpret histogram behavior in the context of the impulse system.

The document says the indicator was first implemented in MQL4 and published in 2012, and notes that its MQL5 version depends on a separate smoothing library. It offers no rules for entering or exiting trades, parameter guidance, performance results, or validation. The described content is therefore limited to the indicator’s construction and implementation background; it does not establish whether the coloring improves signal quality or trading outcomes.

Key ideas

  • The indicator displays MACD histogram values with bars colored according to the Elder Impulse System.
  • It was first implemented in MQL4 and later made available in MQL5.
  • The MQL5 implementation relies on an external smoothing library.
  • The document gives no trading rules or evidence of performance.
