PAIN Oscillator: OHL3C Price Ratio with Period and Averaging Method

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document introduces PAIN, a price-action oscillator that displays an OHL3C candlestick price ratio over a chosen period. Its two controls are the calculation period and the moving-average method. The description identifies the moving average used in the calculation but does not provide a complete verbal definition of the ratio or explain how to interpret its values.

No trading rules, parameter settings, example signals, or performance results are included. As a result, the text establishes the indicator’s broad inputs and purpose but offers little guidance on using it in a strategy or evaluating its behavior. Traders would need the underlying formula or further documentation to reproduce the calculation and assess its limitations.

  • Its calculation has a period setting and a moving-average method setting.
