Var Mov Avg MetaTrader indicator uses its own formula to calculate the moving average with a complex noise filter to produce more accurate signals. The indicator displays dotted line in the main chart window exactly over the price curve. The changing colors of the dots signal trend changes. The indicator can signal sound alerts on trend changes; you can turn them on and off. The indicator is available for both MT4 and MT5.
Input parameters
- periodAMA (default = 50) — period of the main custom moving average. Unlike with other MAs, the higher is this number the less smooth the line is.
- nfast (default = 15) — first noise filter parameter. Higher values make indicator less sensitive to spikes.
- nslow (default = 10) — second noise filter parameter. Higher values make indicator less sensitive to spikes.
- G (default = 1.0) — the power of filtered part in the moving average. Another way to make the signal line smoother.
- dK (default = 0.1) — doesn't really influence anything much.
- UseSound (default = true) — if true then sound alerts will be used.
- SoundFile (default = "expert.wav") — name of the sound file for alerts.
