Recursive Moving Average - indicator for MetaTrader 5

Recursive Moving Average calls itself a number of times in order to reach the appropriate smoothing. For  instance DEMA and TEMA indicators are recursive exponential moving averages.  The goal is to remove the loop limit while still running fast. In addition a trigger line provides the trading signal.

Creating an EMA Crossover Forward Simulation Indicator in MQL5

Traders and MetaTrader 5 developers often lack actionable context immediately after an EMA crossover. The signal appears, but what happens next is usually left to guesswork. This creates hesitation around entries, trade management, and profit-taking because there is no consistent visual framework for evaluating whether momentum is likely to continue, weaken, or completely fail.

The objective is not to create a market oracle, but to build a disciplined forward-looking projection engine that transforms an EMA crossover into a sequence of plausible future candles. The system should operate automatically, minimize unnecessary redraws, support manual anchoring, and provide clear invalidation rules when market conditions change. In this article, we will build exactly that: a compact Forward Simulation Engine for MetaTrader 5 that converts a standard crossover detector into a structured and extensible forward-scenario visualization tool.
