PPO Sign: A Semaphore Indicator from Smoothed Price Change
Summary
PPO_Sign is described as a semaphore indicator based on the relative, smoothed rate of price change. Its stated purpose is to present price movement as an indicator signal; the document does not explain the signal rules, parameters, or how a trader should interpret individual values.
The indicator uses classes from the SmoothAlgorithms library, which must be available in the MQL5 include directory for the implementation. The page says it was first written in MQL4 and published in 2008. It provides no performance evidence, charts with interpretable results, or testing details, so it supports only a basic understanding of the indicator’s premise, not an assessment of its predictive value or suitability for a trading strategy.
Key ideas
- The indicator represents relative price change after smoothing it.
- It presents the resulting signal in semaphore indicator form.
- Its implementation depends on classes from the SmoothAlgorithms library.
- The page gives no parameters, trading rules, or evidence of performance.
