Hey traders! Today, let's dive into the Directional Breakout Indicator for MetaTrader 5. This handy tool gives you insights through a colorful histogram that reflects how candlestick prices stack up against the moving average.
There are three key parameters you can tweak to make this indicator work for you:
- MA Period - This sets the calculation period for the moving average;
- MA Method - Choose your preferred method for calculating the moving average;
- Applied Price - Decide which price you want to use for the calculations.
Calculation:
If Low > MA: MA > PrevMA = color 1 MA < PrevMA = color 2 If High < MA: MA < PrevMA = color 3 MA > PrevMA = color 4
Otherwise = color 5
Where:
MA is the moving average based on the Period, Method, and Applied price PrevMA - moving average from the previous bar
