Moving Average Envelopes Percentage Indicator

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The Moving Average Envelopes Percentage indicator expresses an applied price as its relative position within a moving average envelope channel. The upper and lower boundaries are formed by shifting a moving average up and down by a user-selected percentage deviation. The indicator then scales the price's distance from the lower boundary by the channel width, yielding a percentage-style reading.

The described inputs include the moving-average period, deviation, applied price, and overbought and oversold levels. The document sets the default reference levels at the upper and lower edges of the channel, respectively. It defines the calculation but provides no trading rules, historical tests, or performance evidence, so the indicator alone does not establish when to enter or exit a position. Its usefulness depends on how a trader interprets readings and validates them for a chosen market and timeframe.

Key ideas

  • The indicator measures an applied price's position relative to a moving average envelope.
  • The envelope width depends on the moving average period and percentage deviation.
  • The default overbought and oversold references correspond to the channel's upper and lower edges.
  • The document gives no evidence that the indicator generates profitable signals.
