Selecting a Higher Timeframe for the NRMA Indicator

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This brief note describes a higher-timeframe option for the NRMA indicator in MetaTrader 5. A user can select the indicator's chart period through an input parameter, with a four-hour period shown as the default. The indicator is intended to operate using that selected timeframe, allowing it to be viewed in a different chart context.

The note gives an installation prerequisite: the compiled NRMA indicator file must be placed in the platform's Indicators directory. It offers no definition of NRMA, calculation method, trading signals, chart evidence, or performance results. As a result, it explains timeframe configuration and setup only; it does not provide enough information to assess how the indicator behaves or whether it supports a trading strategy.

Key ideas

  • The indicator includes an input for selecting its chart timeframe.
  • The example sets the timeframe to four hours by default.
  • The compiled indicator file must be installed in MetaTrader 5's Indicators directory.
  • The note gives no details on the indicator's calculations, signals, or trading performance.
