Astro Indicators – indicator MetaTrader 5

There are three Astro Indicators:

1. PlanetCycles Show the Angle (Aspect) between the two selected planets;
2. Declination Show the declination of all planets;
3. BodyPosition Show the Position of all planets.

Select the Flag geocentric in the Indicator Parameter panel. Otherwise the view is heliocentric.

All indicator values are in degree.

Use the Astro Indicators in Tradingsystems:

The simplest way is the iCustom() Function. The other better way is an include of the ‘swisseph.mqh’ in your EA and use the Calculate() function.

Look in the indicator source how the function can be used. The return value a[0] is the bodyposition in degree and the returnvalue a[1] is the declination in degree. The return variable is defined as ‘double a[6]’ for more Body values.
