JMACandleTrend_HTF_Signal - indicator for MetaTrader 5

The JMACandleTrend_HTF_Signal indicator shows the trend direction or a signal for performing a trade generated by the JMACandleTrend indicator at the chosen bar as a graphic object with colored indication of the trend or the trade direction, generates alerts or sound notifications if there are signals for performing trades or sends push notifications to a smartphone.

In case a trend continues at the selected bar, the indicator alerts by a graphic object in the form of the right arrow, the color of which corresponds to a trend direction. In case a trend has changed at the selected bar, the indicator alerts by the flower object, color of which corresponds to a performed deal direction.

All input parameters can be divided into three large groups:

1. JMACandleTrend inputs:

   input ENUM_TIMEFRAMES Timeframe=PERIOD_H6;             // Timeframe for calculating the indicator
   input Smooth_Method MA_Method1=MODE_JJMA;              // smoothing method
   input int Length1=30;                                  // smoothing depth                    
   input int Phase1=15;                                   // smoothing parameter,
   //---- for JJMA, changing within -100 ... +100, affects the transient process quality;
   //---- For VIDIA this is CMO period, for AMA this is a slow average
   input uint Gap=10;                                     // not considered gap in points

   
   

2. Input parameters of the JMACandleTrend_HTF_Signal indicator required for the indicator visualization:

   //---- indicator display settings
   input uint SignalBar=0;                                // Bar index for obtaining a signal (0 - current bar)
   input string Symbols_Sirname=INDICATOR_NAME"_Label_";  // Indicator label name
   input color UpSymbol_Color=clrDodgerBlue;              // Growth label color
   input color DnSymbol_Color=clrMagenta;                 // Fall label color
   input color IndName_Color=clrDarkOrchid;               // Indicator name color
   input uint Symbols_Size=60;                            // Signal label size
   input uint Font_Size=10;                               // Indicator name font size
   input int X_1=5;                                       // Name horizontal shift
   input int Y_1=-15;                                     // Name vertical shift
   input bool ShowIndName=true;                           // Display indicator name
   input ENUM_BASE_CORNER  WhatCorner=CORNER_RIGHT_UPPER; // Corner
   input uint X_=0;                                       // Horizontal shift
   input uint Y_=20;                                      // Vertical shift

   
   
3. Input parameters of the JMACandleTrend_HTF_Signal indicator that are necessary for generating alerts and audio signals:

   //---- alert settings
   input ENUM_ALERT_MODE alert_mode=OnlySound;            // Trigger indication option
   input uint AlertCount=0;                               // Number of alerts
   input bool Push=true;                                  // Allow push notifications

If several JMACandleTrend_HTF_Signal indicators are to be used on one chart, each of them should have its own value of the Symbols_Sirname string variable (the names of indicator labels).

For the indicator to operate, the JMACandleTrend.ex5 indicator should be added to the <terminal_data_directory>\MQL5\Indicators folder.
