Trend Trigger Factor with T3 Smoothing and Higher Timeframes

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This document describes a MetaTrader 5 version of the Trend Trigger Factor, an indicator introduced by M.H. Pee in 2004. The described variant adds T3 smoothing, intended to reduce false signals, and presents the indicator as a standalone tool that does not require a separate Trend Trigger Factor indicator.

It supports the platform’s available timeframes and includes three automatic higher-timeframe choices: the next timeframe above the active chart and two further steps above it. Those special choices adjust when the chart timeframe changes. The text explains the indicator’s configuration options but gives no calculation details, trading rules, performance evidence, or guidance on validating signals, so it does not establish that smoothing improves results.

Key ideas

  • The indicator is based on the Trend Trigger Factor described by M.H. Pee.
  • This version adds T3 smoothing with the stated aim of reducing false signals.
  • It operates as a standalone multi-timeframe indicator in MetaTrader 5.
  • Its special higher-timeframe settings update automatically when the chart timeframe changes.
