Idea Trend Metatrader 5 Forex Indicator

    The Idea Trend Metatrader 5 forex indicator is designed to define the trend direction threshold using histograms within the indicator window.

    To do this the indicator has three input parameters:

    Period – defines the period of calculation;

    Method – defines the method of calculation;

    Threshold – defines the threshold of the trend direction.

    The formula that explains the IdeaTrend MT5 forex indicator is as follows:

    Idea = (MAH – MAC) / (MAC – MAL)

    where:

    MAH = MA(High, Period, Method)

    MAL = MA(Low, Period, Method)

    MAC = MA(Close, Period, Method)
