Synthetic Candlesticks Built from Averaged Price Series

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This indicator description explains how to construct synthetic Japanese candlesticks over a period selected in the indicator settings. It recalculates on each bar and applies price-series averaging during intermediate calculations, producing a transformed candle view rather than simply displaying the chart’s original bars.

The text points to a supporting library used by the indicator and to a separate explanation of averaging price series without additional buffers. It includes a figure reference but no trading rules, market examples, or performance evaluation. The description therefore offers a concise implementation concept for chart analysis, not evidence that the synthetic candles improve signals or returns. Interpretation depends on the chosen period and averaging process, and the document does not explain how to select those settings or evaluate the resulting candles.

Key ideas

  • The indicator displays synthetic Japanese candles for a configurable period.
  • It recalculates the candle values on each bar using averaged price series.
  • Its calculations depend on a supporting library for smoothing price data.
  • The description supplies no strategy rules or evidence that the indicator improves trading outcomes.
