Using a Selected Higher Timeframe with the KaufWMAcross Indicator

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This brief indicator note describes a timeframe-selection option for KaufWMAcross. A user can choose the chart period from the indicator’s inputs; the example default is a four-hour timeframe. The central idea is to make the indicator’s calculations available from a selected timeframe, which can be useful when viewing a chart at a different interval.

The document gives an installation requirement: the compiled KaufWMAcross indicator file must be placed in the terminal’s indicators directory for the higher-timeframe version to operate. It includes a figure reference but provides no calculation details, interpretation rules, entry or exit signals, or trading performance evidence. Consequently, it explains a configuration and setup feature rather than a complete strategy, and does not show whether applying a higher timeframe improves results or how to handle signals across intervals.

Key ideas

  • The indicator includes an input for selecting the timeframe used for its calculation.
  • The example sets the selected timeframe to four hours.
  • The compiled base indicator must be installed in the terminal’s indicators directory.
  • The document provides no signal rules or evidence about trading performance.
