VolatilityQuality as a Smoothed Oscillator for Trend Direction
Summary
VolatilityQuality is described as an unnormalized oscillator intended to identify trend direction. Its color changes are presented as the trading signal for opening positions, but the document does not explain the color rules, entry timing, or exit conditions in detail.
The indicator offers configurable price input, averaging method, smoothing depth, filtering, and chart shifts. It was originally written for MQL4 and later published in a trading-platform code base; an MQL5 version uses a separate smoothing library. The document gives configuration parameters and a figure reference, but no formula, backtest, market examples, or evidence of profitability. As a result, it conveys the indicator's intended use and setup requirements, not a tested trading system.
Key ideas
- VolatilityQuality is an unnormalized oscillator presented as a trend identifier.
- Changes in the oscillator's color are intended to signal position entries.
- Users can configure averaging, smoothing, filtering, input price, and display shifts.
- The MQL5 implementation depends on an external smoothing library.
- The document provides no strategy rules for exits or evidence from performance testing.
