Dear MetaQuotes Team,
I would like to request two indicator feature enhancements for the MT5 Android mobile app, as there is currently no channel for me to submit suggestions directly.
I understand there's no guarantee these will be implemented, but I believe it's better to raise the request than not — perhaps it will be considered.
1. Main chart indicator: Bollinger Bands
Request:
1) When the real-time price is above the upper band (open interval: price > upper band), the entire area between the upper and lower bands should be filled with Color 1.
2) When the real-time price is between the bands (closed interval: lower band ≤ price ≤ upper band), the entire area should be filled with Color 2.
3) When the real-time price is below the lower band (open interval: price < lower band), the entire area should be filled with Color 3.
Note: this should be based on the real-time price, not historical price — meaning as soon as the real-time price satisfies one of the above conditions, the ENTIRE band area (including all historical band regions on the chart) should be filled according to that condition. Colors 1, 2, and 3 should each be user-customizable.
I understand this can be achieved on the desktop version using a custom indicator, since the mobile version does not support custom indicators. However, I have a related question regarding the desktop version: when two or more custom Bollinger Bands indicators with this fill logic are loaded on the same chart, the overlapping fill areas appear to blend into a composite/mixed color rather than showing as distinct colors. Ideally, overlapping areas should NOT blend — each indicator's fill color should display as set by the user, so that users can visually distinguish and recognize their own configured colors.
2. Sub-chart indicator: Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
Request (similar logic to the Bollinger Bands request above):
1) When the real-time CCI value is above +100 (upper band) (open interval: CCI > upper band), the area between the upper and lower bands (±100) should be filled with Color 1.
2) When the real-time CCI value is between the bands (closed interval: lower band ≤ CCI ≤ upper band), the area should be filled with Color 2.
3) When the real-time CCI value is below -100 (lower band) (open interval: CCI < lower band), the area should be filled with Color 3.
Note: this should be based on the real-time CCI value, not historical values — as soon as the real-time value satisfies one of the above conditions, the ENTIRE band area (including historical regions) should be filled accordingly.
4) Please also add a real-time horizontal line showing the current CCI value (similar to the real-time price line on the main chart).
As above, Colors 1, 2, and 3 should be user-customizable, and the upper (+100) and lower (-100) band levels should also be user-configurable.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
