MomCross: A Colored Cloud for Two-Momentum Crossovers

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

MomCross is a technical indicator that compares two momentum measures calculated over different periods. It displays their crossover as a colored cloud, providing a visual way to identify changes in the relationship between short- and longer-period momentum. The description names the indicator’s author and notes that it was originally written in MQL4 before being published in a trading-platform code library.

The document offers only a high-level description. It does not specify the momentum formulas, period choices, crossover interpretation, entry or exit rules, or any trading results. It also notes a dependency on a smoothing-algorithm library that must be available to the platform. As presented, MomCross is an indicator concept rather than a complete strategy; users would need to define signals and test them against suitable data before drawing conclusions about performance.

Key ideas

  • MomCross compares momentum measurements using two different periods.
  • It visualizes crossovers as a colored cloud.
  • The description does not provide parameter settings, trading rules, or performance evidence.
  • The indicator depends on a separate smoothing-algorithm library.
