Hey traders! Today, let's dive into an interesting tool known as the Frog Jump Indicator for MetaTrader 5. This unique indicator draws inspiration from the way frogs jump across lily pads in a pond. Just like a frog skips a pad, this indicator helps us focus on significant price movements by filtering out certain candlesticks.
In our algorithm experiment, we observed that a frog doesn’t just make a simple jump from one leaf to another; it leaps over multiple pads, typically from leaf 1 to leaf 3 or even further. This concept is mirrored in the way the Frog Jump Indicator identifies 'lone' candlesticks that follow a specific pattern.
So, what does this mean for us? The indicator hides candlesticks that don't fit into the frog hopping pattern. For example, if we have a bullish candle followed by a bearish candle, and that bearish candle was preceded by another bearish one, we classify the first bearish candle as 'alone' and it gets hidden from the chart. The same logic applies for bearish candles too.
Take a look at the images below to see the difference:

This nifty indicator can really streamline your trading by highlighting key price action while filtering out the noise. Keep experimenting with it and see how it fits into your trading strategy!
