The Moving Average [MA] of the other Moving Average [MA] included Arrows and Allerts

Just one EA found mased on MA: eur/usd trend catcher - expert for MetaTrader 4 (attached).

• The EA catches long trends by crossing a moving average on 15min time frame.
• The EA has 50 pip noise filter which prevents the EA to jump on every little move.
• Tested on 15min EUR/USD pair between 2001 and 2010 with 90% history accuracy with great results.
• Most of the time the EA loses, however one T.P overcomes 17 losses !

The settings suggested by the author:
- EURUSD;
- M15 timeframe only;
- tp = 350 pips
- sl = 20 pips

I think - it may be sl = 100 and tp = 100 or 35 ....
I do not believe in such EAs but anyway ...

This is interesting indicator: Subway - indicator for Metatrader 4.

This is improved version of MA Channel where we can see the levels - some levels can be take profit levels, and the opposite levels are acting as the stop loss for example.

The improvement (and that is why this indicator is very interesting) is the following: there is the other MA (such as 'quick' MA) which is acting instead of price in our case. We know that the signal for MA Channel indicators are the following: the price is crossing the MA. So, we are having the following improvement here - this is the quick MA is crossing the slow MA.

Indicator Sidus v.2 - indicator for MetaTrader 4

This is very interesting indicator to enter to the market. The sidus trading system description can be found on this page.

The indicator is having alert.

ND

There appears to be 2 versions of the Sidus indicator.

The first version (available as an mql5 indicator) is based on EMA and WMA tunnel crossovers. The second version (the one you have posted) seems to use a EMA tunnel and RSI cross, however I did notice some comments that it repaints.

I will give the second version a quick try to see if it repaints. (ND: the arrows aren't working properly - they appear when there is not a cross - not sure if Igorad can fix or if this is another for the holy grail file)

Are you aware of a mql4 version of the first version, or is it possible to convert from the mql5 version?

The sidus_v_2 also repaints.

If you have a look at the code you can see the main loop is defined as :

for(int i=1; i<limit; i++)

This is probably why it repaints. I changed the loop to work the other way round, and then the signals look terrible.

for(int i=limit; i>=0; i--)

This is classical approach with 2 Moving Averages indicators, beaises it is using the levels and it is profitable during the backtest.
