If you're trading on MetaTrader 5, you might be looking for ways to enhance your strategy. One tool that can help you is the Smoothed Accelerator indicator. This nifty indicator plots a smoothed value based on the following formula:

Out[i]=MathLog(Close[i]/Close[i+ExtPeriodAcc]),

Here, ExtPeriodAcc represents the accelerator period, which you can set using the "Acc period" input parameter. The indicator smooths data using a four-pass Exponential Moving Average (EMA), with the period defined in the "MA period" input parameter.

Input Parameters:

  • Acc period: This is your accelerator period.
  • MA period: This sets the averaging period.
  • N History: This specifies the number of bars to plot.
