MA Color Histogram - indicator for MetaTrader 5

Add an additional condition to the iMA (Moving Average, MA) indicator - display as the 'Moving Average' indicator is located relative to the bar's closing price (Close price). To visualize the additional condition, it was decided to apply the DRAW_COLOR_HISTOGRAM style - the histogram itself shows the value of the 'Moving Average' indicator , and the color of the histogram shows the position of the indicator relative to the bar price.

ATR adaptive SMA - indicator for MetaTrader 5

One of the moving averages that is not often made adaptive is SMA (Simple Moving Average). The reason for that is that it is bound to bars values (unlike, for example EMA - that is used in numerous adaptive averages - that can use fractional periods too) and that makes the calculations a bit complicated and, in some cases the results are going to be "nervous" - they tend to changes slope in some periods very quickly.

That makes it a bit difficult to use it too : using the slope of such an average as a criteria for a trading decision would lead to "change of mind" on almost every bar - and that is not what anybody would like to do. This version makes a possible solution for that : since adaptive SMA is "faster" than the "regular" SMA, you can use the crosses of adaptive to regular SMA as a criteria for trend. Results seem to be acceptable.
