X2MA_HTF_Signal_BG - indicator for MetaTrader 5

X2MA_HTF_Signal_BG shows information about trend direction (based on the X2MA indicator data) as a graphic object with a colored indication of trend or deal direction and gives alerts or audio signals and sends push notifications to a smartphone when a signal to trade appears.

A graphic object is represented as a colored background. The background has four colors. Pale colors indicate trend continuation and bright colors indicate a signal to trade.

The indicator sends alerts and push notifications only if the value of the input parameter:

input uint SignalBar=0;     // The bar number to get a signal (0 - current bar)

is greater than one. For the zero bar sound signals and Push-notifications are useless because the signal of the indicator on the zero bar can change and disappear!

All input parameters can be divided into three large groups:

1. Input parameters for drawing a session:
   

   //+------------------------------------------------+ 
   //| Session drawing input parameters               |
   //+------------------------------------------------+
   input bool   SessionDrawOff=false;                     // Show session in a non-session period 
   input string SessionSirName="Asian";                   // Session name
   input Hour   StartHour=H00;                            // Session start hour
   input Min    StartMinute=M00;                          // Session start minute
   input uint   SessionTime=480;                          // Session duration in minutes
   input color Up_Color=clrPaleTurquoise;                 // Color of growth
   input color Buy_Color=clrLime;                         // Color of Buy
   input color Sell_Color=clrDeepPink;                    // Color of fall
   input color Dn_Color=clrLightPink;                     // Color of Sell

2. The input parameters if the X2MA indicator:
   

   //+------------------------------------------------+ 
   //|  Indicator input parameters                    |
   //+------------------------------------------------+ 
   input string Symbol_="";                    // Financial instrument
   input ENUM_TIMEFRAMES Timeframe=PERIOD_H6;  // Indicator timeframe for indicator calculation
   input Smooth_Method MA_Method1=MODE_SMA;    // Method of averaging of the first smoothing 
   input int Length1=12;                       // Depth of the fist smoothing                    
   input int Phase1=15;                        // Parameter of the first smoothing
   //--- for JJMA it varies within the range -100 ... +100, and influences the quality of the transient process;
   //--- for VIDIA it is a period of CMO, for AMA it is a period of slow moving average
   input Smooth_Method MA_Method2=MODE_JJMA;   // Method of averaging of the second smoothing 
   input int Length2= 5;                       // Depth of the second smoothing 
   input int Phase2=15;                        // Parameter of the second smoothing
   //--- for JJMA it varies within the range -100 ... +100, and influences the quality of the transient process;
   //--- for VIDIA it is a period of CMO, for AMA it is a period of slow moving average
   input Applied_price_ IPC=PRICE_CLOSE;       // Price constant

3. The input parameters of the X2MA_HTF_Signal_BG indicator required for the indicator visualization:

   //---- indicator visualization settings
   input uint SignalBar=0;                                // Bar number to receive a signal (0 - current bar)
   input string Symbols_Sirname=INDICATOR_NAME"_Label_";  // a name for the indicator labels
   input color IndName_Color=DarkOrchid;                  // color of the indicator name
   input uint Font_Size=10;                               // Font size of the indicator name
   input int X_1=5;                                       // Horizontal shift of the name
   input int Y_1=-15;                                     // Vertical shift of the name
   input bool ShowIndName=true;                           // Show the indicator name
   input ENUM_BASE_CORNER  WhatCorner=CORNER_RIGHT_UPPER; // Location corner

4. Input parameters of the X2MA_HTF_Signal_BG, indicator required for generating alerts and audio signals:
   
   

   //---- Settings of alerts
   input ENUM_ALERT_MODE alert_mode=OnlySound;  // Option of triggering indication
   input bool Push=true;                        // Allow push notifications
   input uint AlertCount=0;                     // Number of produced alerts

If you use several X2MA_HTF_Signal_BG indicators on one chart, each of them should have its own Symbols_Sirname (indicator labels names) string variable value.

Place the indicator compiled file X2MA.mq5 to the terminal_data_folder\MQL5\Indicators\ of the client terminal.
