METRO_XRSX_HTF_Signal shows a trend direction or a signal for performing a deal generated by METRO_XRSX_Sign indicator at the chosen bar as a graphic object with colored trend indication or deal direction and sends alerts or audio signals in case of a market entry moment.
In case a trend continues at the selected bar, the indicator alerts by a graphic object in the form of a steering wheel, the color of which corresponds to a trend direction. If the trend has changed at the selected bar, the indicator displays a diagonal arrow. Its color and direction correspond to the deal direction.
All input parameters can be divided into three large groups:
- METRO_XRSX_Sign indicator input parameters:
//+------------------------------------------------+ //| Indicator input parameters                  | //+------------------------------------------------+ input string Symbol_="";                              // Financial asset input ENUM_TIMEFRAMES Timeframe=PERIOD_H6;            // Indicator timeframe for calculation input Smooth_Method DSmoothMethod=MODE_JJMA;          // Price smoothing method input int DPeriod=15;                                  // Moving average period input int DPhase=100;                                  // Averaging parameter of the moving average //---- for JJMA within the range of -100 ... +100 it influences the quality of the transition process; //---- for VIDIA it is a CMO period, for AMA it is a slow average period input Smooth_Method SSmoothMethod=MODE_JurX;          // signal line smoothing method input int SPeriod=7;                                  // Signal line period input int SPhase=100;                                  // Signal line parameter //---- for JJMA within the range of -100 ... +100 it influences the quality of the transition process; //---- for VIDIA it is a CMO period, for AMA it is a slow average period input Applied_price_ IPC=PRICE_CLOSE;                  // Price constant input int StepSizeFast=5;                              // Fast step input int StepSizeSlow=15;                            // Slow step

- Input parameters of the METRO_XRSX_HTF_Signal indicator that are necessary for producing alerts and audio signals:
//---- alerts settings input ENUM_ALERT_MODE alert_mode=OnlySound; // Indication trigger option input uint AlertCount=0;Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â // Number of alerts
In case several METRO_XRSX_HTF_Signal indicators are to be used on one chart, each of them should have its own Symbols_Sirname (indicator labels names) string variable value.
