Using a Higher-Timeframe Fractal Momentum Indicator in MetaTrader

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This document describes a MetaTrader 5 indicator that displays Fractal Momentum using a selectable chart timeframe, with four-hour bars as the stated default. It is a higher-timeframe repeater: the indicator reads the underlying Fractal Momentum indicator and makes its output available on charts using the chosen period.

The technical discussion focuses on packaging and deployment. The source indicator is needed when compiling the repeater, but the compiled executable embeds it as a resource, so the finished indicator can run on another terminal without a separate copy of the original file. The document offers no trading rules, market examples, or performance results, and it does not explain how Fractal Momentum is calculated. Traders should therefore treat it as an indicator implementation note rather than evidence for a standalone strategy.

Key ideas

  • The indicator displays Fractal Momentum calculated on a timeframe selected in its inputs.
  • The stated default timeframe is four hours.
  • Compilation requires the original Fractal Momentum indicator, which the resulting executable embeds as a resource.
  • The document explains deployment behavior but supplies no calculation details or trading performance evidence.
