Check out the new article: Building a Divergence System: Creating the MPO4 Custom Indicator.
We introduce MPO4, a pressure-based oscillator that emphasizes the body and direction of candles in the context of current volatility. The article details its mathematics, normalization into a bounded range, and the EMA smoothing, then builds a pivot-driven divergence module designed not to repaint. You get complete MQL5 implementation and practical guidance for interpreting signals, including a comparison with RSI as an alternative source.
The primary objective of MPO4 is to make momentum more sensitive to the quality of price movement rather than simply its direction. By incorporating candle body size into the calculation, the indicator attempts to distinguish between weak participation and strong participation. Large, decisive candles exert greater influence on the oscillator, while smaller and less significant candles contribute less.
This allows MPO4 to respond not only to where price is moving but also to how aggressively market participants are driving that movement.
The divergence engine built into the indicator later builds upon this foundation. Because the oscillator is designed to measure directional pressure, divergences can reveal situations where price continues to push to new highs or lows while the underlying buying or selling pressure begins to weaken.
Before implementing the mathematical calculations, it is therefore helpful to think of MPO4 not as another variation of RSI or Stochastic, but as a pressure-based oscillator whose primary goal is to quantify the strength of bullish and bearish participation within the market.
