Using Candles to Display the Color Schaff Trend Cycle

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

The document describes an indicator that presents the Color Schaff Trend Cycle calculation as a sequence of candles. It applies the algorithm to price time series and renders the processed values in candle form, which the source suggests can make analysis more informative in some situations.

No performance tests, trading rules, or evidence of predictive value are provided. The text is a brief description of the visualization and notes that it depends on a separately compiled indicator file. It does not explain the calculation, how to interpret the candle colors, or which markets and time frames are suitable, so it offers little guidance for evaluating the indicator as a strategy.

Key ideas

  • The indicator renders Color Schaff Trend Cycle output as a candle sequence.
  • It processes price time series using the Color Schaff Trend Cycle algorithm.
  • The document suggests the candle display may aid analysis but gives no supporting tests or interpretation rules.
  • The indicator requires a separate compiled component to run.
