Using a Higher-Timeframe Input with an ATR 3XMA Indicator

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This brief entry describes a MetaTrader 5 indicator called ATR 3XMA HTF, with an input that lets the user select the chart period used by the indicator. The example default is a four-hour period. The page also notes that the indicator depends on a separate ATR 3XMA indicator file installed in the platform’s indicators directory.

The material explains the configurable timeframe and software dependency, but it does not define the indicator’s calculations, explain what the three moving averages represent, or state how ATR is incorporated. It includes only a figure reference and attribution to a translated code listing. No trading rules, market application, backtest, or performance evidence are provided, so the page supports understanding the setup at a basic level but not evaluating the indicator as a strategy.

Key ideas

  • The indicator allows selection of a timeframe through an input parameter.
  • The example configuration uses a four-hour period.
  • The indicator requires a separate ATR 3XMA component.
  • The page provides no calculation details, trading rules, or performance evidence.
